TART and Charlie Reads SmarT

Hi, all!
I decided to use Charlie Reads SmarT for ECN302 and TART for my HOA105 this week.
For Charlie Reads SmarT, I chose the macroeconomic class because usually it takes me a lot of time to read the textbook and I feel sleepy everytime when I read the book so I feel that I need to chunk the task.
First, I counted the pages I need to read for the next lecture (which is 10 pages) and I found that I lost my attention after two pages so I divided it into five small tasks. I took only 5 minute break in order to finish the 10-page task as soon as possible. [Chunk]
After that, I browsed the 10 pages and had a idea what the authors talk about in the 10 pages because I found in the syllabus the pattern for this course is cause and effect so I knew I had to make it clear on the relationship between some concepts. [Read]
According to the strategy was presented, I should summarize it after I finish reading, but I was afraid that I forget important information because I have bad memory and the relationships between concepts are complex so I did it when I was reading and I used the colors to highlight the main relationships. Here is my summary and graphs: [Summarize]

After reading, I created some questions in order to finish my preparation for the next lecture and I used pencil to write question and black pen to answer it and it shows as below: [Test]
After trying , I feel that it made me more comfortable during class when the professor introduce
new concepts and it is extremely helpful for this course because most of the time, the professor will talk beyond the textbook in the lecture.

I tried TART with my art history course because there are a lots of terms and explanation in this course and I am not good at memorizing things so previewing terms is supposed to be a good solution.
First
I read the terms in the art history book but I did not read the every term and definition as the strategy is explained in Dr. Blumin's book because this chapter we have almost 30 pages and I did not have enough time for this many pages, so instead, because we believe that every piece of work reflects the idea of that times so I read the most important information- the ideas for this period, which is active life, contemplative life and tradition and innovation, which I found the three ideas in the student manual for this chapter. By that method, I only have to read 5 pages before lecture. So I made notes on the computer for the five pages in order to edit them when the professor add something new to explain them and I used some colors, bold and question marks to remind myself. I did this because I am a visual and kinesthetic learner. Here is what I did:
Second
I attended the lecture and took notes on the computer.

After that
as Dr. Blumin said about this strategy, I should read the whole chapter but I do not have time for that and the major source of this course is lecture so I just need skeleton reading for this course so I checked the ideas with every slide she discussed with us and think how does the idea relate to the work specifically. Fortunately, I figured out how the work reflects any of them this time. But if it is not clear to me, I would browse book for more information.

Finally
I created question on the most important idea, which is contemplative life in this case and type down how does it relate to architecture, paintings and sculptures in order to review in the future and anticipate exam questions.

This strategy is really helpful for this course because it combines with anticipating questions and I do not have to read comprehensively so it gives me a good and time-saving method to review and prepare for the essay questions in the exam, which usually incorporate the relationship between ideas and works.
