To really engage with what you’re learning, it’s important to do more than just absorb and remember information. As you’re learning, stop and ask yourself questions. Exploring these questions and looking for answers will help you gain a deeper understanding of the material. For example, if you’re reading about a historical event, you might ask questions like “Why did this happen? How do we know what happened—what kinds of sources do we have? How might things be different today if this event hadn’t taken place?” When you’re learning about a topic, try not to view it as a series of unconnected pieces of information. Instead, look for ways that ideas and information relate to each other and to your own knowledge and experiences. This will help you put the things you learn in context. For example, maybe you’re studying how physical anthropologists use skeletal material to understand how people lived in an ancient society. Think about how your own activities might affect what a future anthropologist or archaeologist would see if they discovered you—e.g., would they notice wear and tear on your elbow joints because of your tennis hobby? Don’t accept everything you hear, see, or read at face value. When you’re learning, consider where the information comes from, how reliable it is, and whether it is current or outdated. For example, you might ask yourself:  “What evidence does this author provide to back up their major arguments?” “Is this information up-to-date?” “What are the sources for this information?” “What are the qualifications of the person presenting this information? Do they have any agendas or biases?” “Are there alternative interpretations of this issue that might also be valid?” Whether you’re looking at a full course in a particular topic or just focusing on an individual lesson, try to pull out a few key themes and concepts. Doing this can help you organize your thoughts and define your focus as you learn and study. For example, if you’re taking a class on American history, you might find that themes of American identity and diversity come up again and again. Consider how the information you are learning in the class relates to these themes.

One-sentence summary -- Ask questions about what you are learning. Look for connections between concepts. Examine sources of information critically. Try to identify key concepts in the material you are studying.

Q: Talk about her hair, her eyes, her outfit, her smile, or something similar. If she seems pleased, rather than awkward, this is a good sign. Try brushing some lint from her sleeve, or placing a hand on her shoulder. Find an excuse to gently touch her. See if she likes it, or if she touches you in return. This suggests she's interested. She may try to drop hints that she wants to take this to a bedroom, such as by showing off her body to you, biting her lip and smiling, or talking suggestively. Make your invitation, and see what happens. Some women are hesitant to enter other people's places. This is normal. If she suggests her place instead, flash a smile and say "Sounds great!" Some women like to go fast, and some like to go slow. Pay attention to her mood and body language.  It's okay to ask questions, like "Do you like this?" or "What would you think about ____?" Many women like this, because it lets them know you care what they want and are open to ideas from them. Feel free to ask her to slow down if it's too fast for you. This goes both ways.
A: See how she reacts to being complimented. Break the touch barrier. See if she starts talking sexy. Invite her to go to your place, or wherever she pleases. Follow her lead.

Article: Since a full rotation has 360 degrees, rotating a shape 180 degrees clockwise is the same as rotating 180 counterclockwise. If the problem states, “Rotate the shape 180 degrees around the origin,” you can assume you are rotating the shape counterclockwise.  You would complete this problem the same way you complete a problem that asks “Rotate the shape 180 degrees clockwise around the origin.” You might also see, “Rotate this shape -180 degrees around the origin.” These will likely be given. If not, you should be able to deduce them from looking at the coordinate graph. Remember to note the coordinates of each vertex’s point using the (x, y) convention. For example, you might have a rhombus with points (4, 6), (-4, 6), (-2, -1), and (2, -1). The formula is (x,y)→(−x,−y){\displaystyle (x,y)\rightarrow (-x,-y)}. This formula shows that you are reflecting the shape twice. Take care to plug the correct coordinate into the correct position of the new ordered pair. In this formula, you keep the x and y values in the same position, but you take the negative value of each coordinate. For example, the points (4, 6), (-4, 6), (-2, -1), and (2, -1) become (-4, -6), (4, -6), (2, 1), and (-2, 1). Plot the new vertex points on the plane. Connect your points using a straightedge. The resulting shape shows the original shape rotated 180 degrees around the origin.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Identify the corresponding clockwise and counterclockwise rotations. Write down the coordinates of the original shape’s vertices. Set up the formula for rotating a shape 180 degrees. Plug the coordinates into the formula. Draw the new shape.

Article: Sometimes interpersonal issues can be related to overeating. Interpersonal therapy, a type of treatment that helps reduce overeating, focuses on your current social relationships and how they affect your eating behaviors.  Surround yourself with individuals who love and respect you for who you are, not people who judge you based on what you look like or what you weigh. Ask yourself if certain people in your life hinder your ability to stop yourself from overeating. Is there someone who does negative things which make you feel depressed? Does this contribute to your emotional eating? Social norms play a strong role in maintaining eating behaviors. This is why it is crucial to get support from people who love you or are on the same healthy eating path that you are on.  Social support can include being involved in a weight-loss center such as Jenny Craig or Weight Watchers. Oftentimes, these types of agencies have mentors or classes you can attend. Another option is to join Overeaters Anonymous, a 12-step program, which is available in many countries. When you have a craving to eat food that isn’t healthy or you want to binge, you can call a specific person. You may have an issue with overeating or a Binge Eating Disorder if you find yourself eating unusually large amounts of food regularly and you cannot stop yourself. Psychologists and therapists that specialize in food-related issues can help you better develop a personalized plan to reduce your overeating. Medications like phentermine (Suprenza), naltrexone (Vivitrol), dexfenfluramine, and anti-depressants such as fluoxetine (Prozac), desipramine (Norpramin), fluvoxamine (Luvox), and sertraline (Zoloft), and imipramine (Tofranil) have been implicated in reducing overeating behaviors. Discuss possible medication options and side effects with your doctor (general practitioner) or psychiatrist.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Look at your relationships. Get social support. Consider therapy or other treatment. Explore medication.
