My Strategy for Vocabulary

I plan on studying the words on my own.  I do not work well with a partner because i always seem to lose focus.  When i study by myself I am concentrated on the words and do not go off subject.  I plan on looking at 20 words each night this week.  I don't only plan on looking at the words I also plan to memorize them so that they will not be hard to recognize on the midterm.
