Instructions: select all the correct answers.
which of the following is a characteristic of active learning?

1. understanding the basics of a subject

2. understanding how to get good grades

3. taking notes in class and reading through them before tests

4. condensing notes into different types of study materials

5. studying interesting subjects regularly

I believe the correct answers are 4 and 5.

Understanding the basics of a subject and taking notes in class are components of passive learning - that is, listening to someone, learning what we have heard, and trying to reproduce it. Understanding how to get good grades is not even a component of learning. The 4) and 5) options are the only ways to get really involved in the learning process, trying to apply what was learned, or trying to broaden up one's knowledge on a subject.
