23/24

when i was younger and back in high school i used to read with my own style and no teacher told me about the true way of reading. i only read the materials and thought that was it. but now we know it will not work out with the college materials. because they are so much more and it is impossible to learn all that stuff just like it is written in the book. so we use different kind of technics in order to memorize those stuff. usually back in high school, we only go over the book and that was pretty much it. but in college we cannot do that. it takes so much more time and it will be also harder if we want to learn like that. we need to be prepare for the test and see a big picture of the topic. we need to understand if the materials are making sense. and after that we come up with our own ideas and words which will make the essay look better and longer. we call this 5Ps.

Draft #3

Learning is one of the things that most people have struggle with, and it is because they do not know the right way to learn. Now here’s a question. How do we really learn? The answer is pretty clear. By reviewing the topic a few times. But it’s not only that. Some people prefer to study at the night right before the test and sadly they’re having so much stress and that can end them up with failure. Because there are some mechanisms in our brain and by stress we might forget most things. This is very true because it happened to me before and I forgot all the materials on the test. But let’s say we are about to have an important test in a few days and we have no clue how to study in the right way.
First relax and Take a quick nap or have a snack. Briefly exercise to increase circulation. This can help a lot. Because your brain is just relaxed. second,Use descriptive words to trigger a concept. Use brief, concise phrases that are easy to memorize. Select specific examples. Leave spaces between concepts. An uncluttered page is easier to memorize.third, Use a circle, highlighter or star. Mark important information that is difficult to remember. Create comparison charts or graphs. Use abbreviations, such as VC to remember "vertebral column." Use mnemonics, such as "Do It now or later" to remember "Differences in Numbers or Latitude”. Rewrite and organize your notes. Group similar concepts together. Read notes out loud because it’s very important. It is helpful. Tape record a lecture and listen to it later. Incorporate what you've learned into your everyday life. Tell others what you are learning. Arrange time in your schedule to review up to ten times. Take frequent, small breaks to give your brain time to absorb. Use a pencil to easily erase. Cross out information, and then rewrite your notes at a later time.
