ACTING OUT

What if you’re studying something and, despite your best efforts, you
don’t find anything of particular interest in it? Sometimes you just can’t
find anything that you can connect with.
In that case, pretend you’re someone else who can relate to the material
and has an interest in it! You can become interested in a subject when
you involve yourself in it, even when you’re just role-playing. (See Chapter
5, “Learning by Doing,” for more on role-playing and other ways to be
an active learner.)
• Pretend you’re the instructor; decide what will be the focus of the
next class. Let that direct your studying.
• Act! Take on somebody else’s interests. If you’re studying management,
for example, assume the role of a business executive. If
you’re studying for a science course, pretend you’re a research
biologist. And so on.
