READING STRATEGIES

A. Taking Notes
- Good taking note is an indispensable tool in studying effectively.

lecture, a reading material, or in a class discussion.

These are the things to remember when taking notes:

1. Summarization - is a brief summarization of a larger work that gives the reader a
comprehensive understanding.

2. Paraphrasing – is translating ideas and information into your own words.

Paraphrasing means of putting someone else’s ideas into your own words while
preserving the original meaning.

3. Observe neatness and clarity in writing

B. Listening for specific information

- Most of your daily activities require listening, and when you listen, it is important that
you understand what is being talked about.

To help you do that, you should:

1. Know what to listen for. Start by knowing which information is important and useful
for your goals or your needs.

improving your understanding of the information that you acquired.

3. Close Reading – it enables you to start formulating conclusions and interpretations based
on facts and details you gathered from the material you read.

sequence of events, and to be aware od pattern similarities,
comparison, and contrast.

History of Computers starts out about 2000 years ago in Babylonia (Mesopotamia) abacus.

Blaise Pascual is usually credited for building the first digital computer in 1642. It added
numbers entered with dials and was made to help his father, a tax collector.

The start of the World War II produced a large need for computer capacity. Especially for the
military 1942, John P. Eckert, John W. Mauchly and their associates at the school of Electrical
Engineering of University of Pennsylvania decided to build a high-speed electronic computer to
do the job. This machine became known as ENIAC (Electrical Numeric Integrator and
Calculator).
ENIAC was therefor about 1,000 times faster than the previous generation of relay computers.
ENIAC used 18,000 vacuum tubes, about 1,500 Square Fest of floor space and consumed about
180,000 watts of electrical power.
The term computer means to calculate.
