(George Fillmore) 17017311 How to Study Produced by Al Haines "How to Study" by George Fillmore Swain is a guidebook focusing on effective study methods written in the early 20th century. The book aims to articulate the fundamental principles of study habits, mental attitudes, and logical reasoning designed to help students acquire knowledge more effectively. It addresses the common pitfalls of rote learning and encourages students to engage deeply with the material they are studying to foster true understanding rather than superficial memorization. In this practical guide, Swain outlines several key strategies for effective studying, including the importance of having a proper mental attitude, the necessity of understanding material rather than just reading it, and the significance of systematic study methods. He emphasizes the need for students to take initiative in their learning, think critically about what they read, and actively engage with content. Throughout the book, Swain conveys that true education is grounded in self-directed learning and the cultivation of intellectual curiosity, thereby empowering students to become independent thinkers capable of mastering new subjects.
