Studying relates to dedicating time and focus to gaining knowledge and skills, and the application thereof, in a given subject or subject area. Effective study involves the efficient use of time and attention to maximize the mastery of the knowledge and skills. Learning how to study effectively is an important skill on its own merit.
Further, effective study requires discipline and consistency in reading, questioning, and identifying important information in the subject of study with the objective of increasing knowledge and skill in the subject area.
As well, effectively studying for tests and examinations is as important as successfully writing the tests and examinations. They involve more than a mastery of the knowledge and skills tested. They require being mentally prepared and being in a good physical condition and alertness. They require a good understanding of how to optimize the short period of time allotted for writing tests and examinations.
This guide is intended to help students three ways; to enable students effectively: (a) study, (b) prepare for tests and examinations, and (c) write tests and examinations. It offers techniques in the three areas which, if consistently applied, would enhance the chances for students performing well in the three aspects. It is a valuable resource for effective learning that goes beyond studying just for passing examinations.
The guide emphasizes the value of knowledge and skills, and hence the need for understanding and skills as well as the application. It dissuades the reader for studying purely for purposes of passing examinations.
Aside from students, the guide can be used by teachers, study tutors and coaches. It is also useful for education managers in the matter of emphasis of the value of knowledge in real life.

The Footfalls of My Heart
Footfalls of My Heart is a long narrative poem that draws style, idioms and expression from the culture, traditions, and philosophy of the Abagusii community of Kenya through the lens of a girl as she inches along toward marriage. In the community, marriage was a complex, long-drawn and tedious process that involved many parties including the families of the two, and peers of both the bride and groom, among many other key players. Throughout the process ran the concept of the ideal desirable partner. This poem captures the bride’s perspective of the groom, Rimura, depending on the many aspects deemed to define the ‘perfect’ rimura. Nyamwange’s Footfalls of My Heart is a bride’s response to his earlier publication, The Girl of Red Beauty which presented a bride’s dreams of an ideal wife, in the tradition set by Okot p’Bitek’s twin publications, Song of Lawino and Song of Ocol.
What Others Say
"This is truly beautiful. I enjoyed the stream of consciousness and wordplay, which powerfully built up the feeling behind the words. I love how the author writes with some alliteration and sensory descriptions.
I loved the imagery here:
‘The ring of bellyful laughter,
‘The beaming of a full moon on my face’
Is this a poem or a story I can't even tell!!! Why not both? It feels like the subject matter happened once upon a time.”
- Chasejameson Manar Spears, Poet, Oakland, California, USA
“The author has set a high standard to which African poetry should be written. Taking after Okot p’Bitek, the author has, however, heightened the language and the condensation of the expressions.”
– Dr. Chris Okemwa, lecturer, Kisii University and poet
The Lady who Married a Crow
In The Lady who married a Crow and Other Stories J. C. Makori brings rare tales and storytelling from the past. The stories capture a tradition and wisdom which, if not documented, would disappear all the same.
Storytelling was at the core of the social fabric of the people of the past. It brought together the young and old, and the raw and experienced. Through this interactive process, the community’s cumulative knowledge, experiences and wisdom were passed from generation to generation. The process further cemented the place of the storytellers as custodians of community wisdom, values and history.
In this collection, the author has given a glimpse into that past, the lessons the community treasured and wisdom embedded in the stories. Written in the style of the original oral form, the tales offer lessons, and insights into history and culture that could inform the present and shape the future.
What others say
“The stories in this collection are compelling, painting vivid images in the reader’s mind through immersing the reader in the world of the different characters and the community in which the stories are set! The book adds a much needed African folk tale resource, and can be used as a pedagogical tool and for recreational reading.” – Grace Wangari, Children’s Book Editor.
“This is thrilling collection that would interest readers across age sets. The stories offer moral lessons such as the value of truthfulness, kindness and good relations.” – Bethsheba Nyabuto, Book Designer/Editor.
Orchids in Taiwan
I was deeply moved by Okemwa’s deep affection for Taiwan, and constantly amazed by his paradoxical expression techniques utilized in his poems to guide readers into the trap designed by his measure of insinuations. This ironic statement manner strengthens the positive and affirmative attitude, and produces unexpected and surprising effects.
- Prof. Lee Kuei-shien, Taiwanese Poet, Translator & Vice President of Movimiento Poetas del Mundo.
我被歐肯姆瓦對台灣的深情感動不已，對他詩中運用的逆說表達技巧，以旁敲側擊的手段，引導讀者墜入他設計的圈套中，更是不斷驚嘆，這種以反諷的陳述方式，加強正面肯定的態度，產生令人意料不到的驚奇效果。
— 李魁賢教授，台灣詩人、翻譯家、世界詩人運動組織副會長
Christopher Okemwa's Orchids in Taiwan is a surprising poetry book about life and love, painting Taiwan like you would paint an African woman.
-Prof. Marta Eloy Cichocka, Polish poet and photographer, Iberian Studies scholar and a Francophile literary investigator and translator.
克利斯多福．歐肯姆瓦的《台灣蘭花》是寫生活和愛，令人驚嘆的詩集，描繪台灣就像你在描繪非洲女人一樣。
