And even if we remember or even understand these highlighted nuggets, there’s no indication that we’re seeing the bigger picture and are able to apply, analyze, or evaluate the material-the types of higher order thinking that professors usually invoke in their exam questions. Many of us confuse this familiarity with a good understanding of the material.
Why? After looking at content that’s phrased a particular way and presented on the same part of a page a couple of times, that content can pretty quickly become familiar to a reader. Rereading in this way can contribute to illusions of competence-the feeling that we know more than we actually know. In addition, many students who highlight while reading then use these highlighted sections of the text as the main substance of their studying, rereading this content as their primary study strategy. Focusing on which details to highlight can get in the way of a deeper understanding of the big picture. The problem is that instead of thinking critically about the content, they primarily spend their mental energy sorting the content into what’s important and what’s not. Why do students highlight? Usually students highlight because they want to focus on the important parts of the text and highlight-literally and figuratively-those parts for later study. This handout shares effective reading strategies that you can use instead of or in addition to highlighting and shares tips for highlighting well. However, despite its popularity, highlighting tends not to be a very effective reading strategy. In the Selection Pane, double-click the default object name to open the box, and type a new name for the object.Many college students use highlighting as a reading tool. To change the default names of the objects, on the Home tab, click Select, and then click Selection Pane. In the Selection Pane, you can give each object a distinct name to make it easier to work with them when you are applying animations to each. In the picture, below, the default object names don’t provide much of a description so it’s hard to tell which object has what animation effect applied to it. When you work with multiple objects on a slide, it can be difficult to differentiate each object and their applied animation effects from one another.
Tip for working with multiple animation effects To watch how the animation effects work together, click Preview on the Animation tab. To change the speed of the animation effect, set the Duration to the level you want. To delay the animation effect from starting, click the Delay up arrow to the number of seconds you want. Tip: The previous animation effect is the one listed in the playing order in the Animation Pane (usually located just above the animation you are setting the timing for).
