As you go through the semester PhotoRead the assigned chapter, bracketing it with a couple of chapter before and a couple of chapters after. As a result, you will PhotoRead the book multiple times throughout the semester.
Activate as chapters are assigned. Super read, dip, mind map. Lectures are a great way to activate. Activate until it gels.
Now, since it appears you are at the end of a semester, and you are preparing for final exams, you still activate until it gels.
Super reading, dipping, mind mapping, mind probing--the whole nine yards. The more you activate, you will discover methods that work best for you. There are no if, ands, ors, or buts.
