What are the better schemes?

(1) Reading time. For a good book, it takes at least one day, first half a day to read all the books, then the second half to sort out the main ideas, methods and theories, and finally sum up: what is good about this book and what is not good about it? Generally, graduate students focus on the first half of the day and try to read the book clearly. There is nothing wrong with this, but there must be some sorting and summary later. Otherwise, they are nominally reading a book, and the actual gains are too small, because they pay attention to the details of the book. If every book is read like this, the effect will be better. Reading is not only to understand the basic content of the book, but also to learn something.

(2) reading content. When reading, we should pay attention to the following aspects: what important propositions are put forward in this book, what theories are used to explain them, what research methods are adopted, and what conclusions or opinions are drawn. Even if you have read this book, you should avoid repeating its contents.

(3) reading methods. For first-year graduate students, the books they read in the first semester are a foundation. After reading five books, we should focus on reading methods, learn to read quickly, and grasp the thinking of books from the big picture. The content of the book is secondary, because the reader may not be interested in the content of some books, or don't want to study it as a key point in the future, just get a general understanding.

(4) think about the problem. When reading and discussing, graduate students must ask themselves the following questions: What are the propositions put forward in the book for? How did the materials come from? What kind of theory is used to explain it? Is it explanatory? If this book is a good book, what's so good about it? If this book is a bad book, what's wrong with it? What is the author's own opinion and is it valid? What do other people think? In which articles and books do these ideas appear?

(5) Auxiliary query. When reading, sometimes we should use the Internet to find relevant information, cross-check with each other, and if we find something we don't understand in the book, we should surf the Internet in time or look for the corresponding content online in China journals, so as to gain a lot.

(6) academic norms. At present, the academic norms of different disciplines, especially the norms of annotation, data collection, writing and thinking, are different. When reading a book, we should pay attention to these problems as much as possible. Especially the annotation specification, whether the author cited the first source, whether he absorbed the latest research results, etc. Understanding these norms is helpful for writing papers in the future and avoiding repeating the same mistakes.

In addition, pay attention to protect your eyesight and health.
