Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- I read it all in words and almost nothing sticks
- I figured more is better, so I cram in every word and every image at once and narrate the picture line by line
- My eyes keep bouncing between the diagram and the caption way off to the side, and by the time I find which part the text means I’ve lost the thread
- These abstract terms have nothing to picture, so they slide right out of my head
- I neatly recopy the diagram out of the book and it feels like studying, but the second I close it I couldn’t reproduce it
