  7. Barriers to Communication • Stereotyping- When you judge somebody by a part of a group. • Preoccupations/Distractions- When you are distracted with a personal problem, which causes you not to pay attention in class. • Emotional Block- When you let out all of your anger at one time. • Past Experience- When the things that happened in the past still bother you.

Ways to Study Better • When you are studying this means that you are reviewing not learning. • Listen to the teacher • Take notes, and review them • Highlight important parts in your note • Rewrite and shorten down your notes • Make diagrams and pictures • Organize your time for studying • Put paper clips and post-it notes to mark important parts in the book • Use a planner to be organized
