Understanding study material 📚 Effective strategies 🤔

Here are some research-backed tips to help you navigate difficulties in understanding study material effectively 💪🏼

1️⃣ Break down complex concepts

Research suggests that breaking down complex concepts into smaller, more digestible parts can aid in understanding. Divide the material into manageable sections and focus on understanding each component before moving on to the next.

2️⃣ Engage in active learning

Active learning techniques, such as summarizing, teaching others, and practicing with flashcards, can improve understanding and retention. Engage actively with the material by explaining it to a study partner or testing yourself with practice questions.

3️⃣ Seek clarification

Don't hesitate to seek clarification from your instructors, peers, or online resources when you encounter difficulties. Research indicates that asking questions and seeking feedback can enhance understanding and fill in knowledge gaps.

4️⃣ Utilize visual aids

Visual aids, such as diagrams, charts, and graphs, can help simplify complex information and improve comprehension. Create visual representations of the material or use existing visual resources to enhance your understanding of challenging concepts.

5️⃣ Connect new material to prior knowledge

Research in cognitive psychology emphasizes the importance of connecting new information to existing knowledge for better understanding. Relate new concepts to familiar ideas or experiences to establish meaningful connections and improve retention.

6️⃣ Practice retrieval techniques

Research studies suggest that practicing retrieval techniques, such as self-testing and quizzing, can strengthen memory and understanding. Test yourself regularly on the material to reinforce learning and identify areas that require further review.

7️⃣ Collaborate with peers

Collaborative learning has been shown to enhance understanding and retention of study material. Engage in group study sessions with peers to discuss challenging concepts, share insights, and benefit from diverse perspectives.

8️⃣ Take breaks and manage stress

Take regular breaks during study sessions, practice relaxation techniques, and prioritize self-care to manage stress levels and optimize your cognitive performance. Read posts about mental and physical health to find more useful information.

22nd April - 22 Days until Finals

I didn't study much on the 21st so u can say studying for almost 5 hrs was some guilt-driven motivation, but it helped :)

I haven't been going out a lot even tho the doc said i must "breath fresh air" everyday. So i played some badminton with my brother yesterday (i was so bad at it) but something's better than nothing.

From tmrw i want to get out consistently atleast once a day /goal 🎯

Stuff i did:

Textbook reading/summarizing

Made flashcards for 1 chp

Revised 1 chp (this was a first bcs i havnt finished half the chps so revision for 1 is great)

23 cards reviewed

I want to keep up with yesterday's flow even today, so manifesting a productive day for me as well as you 💖🫶

I've recently been exploring the mind map note taking concept. To be honest, after being exposed to traditional studying methods for a very long time, implementing mind map techniques and spaced retrieval systems were quiet challenging. Linear note-taking always felt like a waste of time for me and for a second I thought this might be the case with mind maps too, but it actually helps you to visualize information and organize it in a way that you make connections and build strong relations between concepts.

Sometimes I get distracted when the map turns into chaos, so I start playing with colors and try to draw perfect circles :) Apart from that, I'm really satisfied with the mind map method 📝

P.S. I got a cute stalker right behind the window.

Study Tip #1

The one study tip which helped me a lot was to collect all the study materials in different coloured files throughout the semester so that I don't have to squabble around for notes.

༻`` 17 Jan 24 — Wednesday

100 days of productivity 17/100

how are we halfway through January already??

I started making some notes, studied chemisty for an hour and tried blurting. I only covered 2 topics so far but it seems like an upgraded version of the way I studied last year for my gcses, which worked out really well seeing as I got a couple A*'s. I'm going to continue this tomorrow.

I was going to push myself to complete 2 hours of study but I've got work experience tomorrow (dentistry even tho u need bio for it and I don't take bio TvT) and I'd like to be well rested for it.

Plus for my study technique, in case anybody is interested and would like to try it, I combine active recall, blurting and teaching the topic.

I will read my notes out loud (about a sentence/small paragraph at a time), look away and repeat a couple times until I no longer have to look at my notes

I will read the next bit, recall it aloud, and often I'll then go over both the 1st bit of notes and the 2nd, 3rd etc. again, trying not to look at the notes

While recalling the information I will tell/teach it to my study buddy (can be a person, animal or inanimate object)

After each major topic I'll write down everything I remember (saying it aloud first then writing it down), go back to my notes and add anything I missed in red so I can focus on it more next time

Before starting a new topic I'll quickly recall aloud the information from the previous topic & etc.

My study/motivation playlist 🎶

My study buddy ladies and gents:

His name is Beck, he is a wire lizard and he stares into my soul every time I try to talk to him (the eye contact is so unbelievably difficult and intimidating with him! 😭)

Hi.

I tend to get really nervous about the outcome of the exam when I am studying and it gets overwhelming to actually work.

Any tips to deal with it?

P.s. Much of your advice is so realistic and super helpful :)

I'm glad you find my posts helpful and realistic!

And I completely understand. I did that a lot too and I'd just give up on studying, completely convinced that I'm going to fail. A few things I have done to help this are:

I remind myself that I paid to learn, not to pass a test. I paid to get information. I need to get my money's worth. This thinking helped reframe my mindset from passing tests and just doing classes to get a degree to actually WANTING to learn since I PAID A LOT OF MONEY

I make checklists. I like to go through and identify main points in the lessons and turn them into their own mini lessons. Break each main point into basics. Vocabulary, names, places, dates, species, etc. Just the bare bones. I use this outline of each topic as a checklist and if I know 90% of the information in that topic, I'm not going to stress over that. And you'll be surprised with just how much you actually do know!

I make studying a fun routine and do it somewhere with a couple distractions and stuff to help keep my mind from spiraling. I go to my local bar on a Monday or Tuesday afternoon and sit in the corner. This gives me enough quiet to study, but enough distractions to where I can't get in my head about it and a place I can have fun when the work gets too much.

I try to mix the information I learn into daily things. Mention a cool fact you learned to a friend at lunch or talk about a cool topic to your plants. Maybe tell your neice about that animal you just learned about.

Find something that interests you in every topic. Go ahead and do your own research on that thing. Deep dive. You'll learn a lot of the other information in that topic too without knowing. I learned about enzymatic activities in saliva because I was researching how some species can keep their mouths filled with bacteria. That kind of stuff.

I hope these helped! But overall, just try and distract yourself from the test and focus on learning because you WANT to learn. A test is a test and at the end of the day that doesn't matter. It's how much you know and enjoy the material that matters. A future employer isn't going to see your transcripts and GPA. They're going to want to know if you know what you're talking about, so don't stress too much love!!

The power of visualization for successful studying 👀

Creating mental images of success 📈

Visualizing yourself acing an exam or achieving your study goals can be a powerful motivator.

Visualizing the information 🧠

By creating mental images that align with the content, you are engaging both your visual and cognitive faculties, enhancing understanding and retention.

Techniques for effective visualization 🔆

a. Use color - assign colors to different concepts or ideas.

b. Create a story - transform abstract concepts into narratives or stories.

c. Engage all senses - while visualization is primarily visual, incorporating other senses can enhance the experience.

d. Utilize spatial memory - visualize information in specific locations within a familiar environment, such as your bedroom or a favorite park. By associating information with specific locations, you create mental cues that aid in recall.

The power of visualization extends beyond motivation and engagement.

hi can you help me?

my next exam is next week (thursday) and i always learned with study notes because it is so much. but i dont want to spend my whole week at home on my desk to study. do you have smarter study methods? i would be very grateful ♡

Hi 💕

Some of the study methods I use are :

Podomoro technique : Work for 50 minutes and take a 10 minutes break each time.

Blank paper method : You write down everything you know on a subject on a blank piece of paper (Without looking at your lesson). If you forgot some parts, you read it again and repeat the process until you got everything right.

Flashcards (Anki) for vocab

Good luck with your exam ☺️

ASR: An Exact method for measuring your language abilities

Imagine I played you a podcast in the language you are learning and I slapped you every time you heard a word you do not know. On average, how often would I slap you? What a weird question to begin with, right? It may not be obvious yet, but the answer to that question is a very good way of measuring your language abilities. If I were cocky, I would even say it’s the best method.

“Okay, Mr Cascade Languages, prove it,” I hear you say. “My pleasure”, I respond. The measuring of language abilities has at least one thing in common with the measuring of rainfall. With rainfall, you first need to choose the part of the world whose rainfall you want to measure. With language abilities, you first need to specify the environment against which language abilities need to be assessed. Let me use an example to demonstrate what I mean.

Hiroshi is a Japanese high school student who is studying English so he can study Philosophy in Australia. ASR is a good method for measuring Hiroshi’s English abilities (I’ll get to what ASR stands for in a minute). The environment in the case of Hiroshi is that of a Philosophy student in Australia. The first step of ASR is to sample the environment. Australia already has Philosophy students and sampling the environment would simple consist of recording the speech and language interactions of Philosophy students in Australia. We find some Philosophy students (say, 5 or so), then stick recording devices on them and record all the English they are exposed to for a semester. This will include everything they say, hear, read and write. The second step of the ASR method is the most fun (for us, the assessors).

Having compiled a recording that is representative of the language environment of Australian Philosophy students, we assess Hiroshi against it. We play the recording and whenever Hiroshi is exposed to a word he is not familiar with, we slap him. Not only that, we keep track of the frequency we slap Hiroshi. When Hiroshi is still a beginner, we would be slapping him at a high rate (e.g. 200 slaps a minute). As Hiroshi’s English abilities improve, the rate also reduces. After Hiroshi’s abilities have improved to a level where we would consider him proficient, the slap rate will be low (e.g. 5 slaps an hour). Oh, ASR stands for Average Slap Rate.

The beauty of ASR is that it is exact and determined without subjectivity. The same cannot be said of other methods. Most commonly, if you ask someone how good they are in a language, they will say something like, “lower intermediate.” This assessment is based on what level they feel they are at. It is an in-exact subjective estimate. ASR is not an estimate, it is a measurement. It’s an independently measured number which describes how well you would fare in the environment you intend to interact and communicate.

College Tip #1

One of the things I found especially useful in college was to voluntarily start signing up for internships in the areas which I wanted to explore. So, by the time I complete my master's I would have an idea as to which field I want to specialize in.
