Interessante, realmente interessante.

Revision

Everyone has their own unique way of studying, try out these different techniques and see how effective they are to you :)

Find out which type of learner you are e.g a visual, kinaesthetic, or auditory. These are ideal when it comes to which revision is most beneficial.

Use the listing technique where you memorise a part of your notes, list them down on a piece of paper then go back and review all the ones you missed. This makes sure whether all your knowledge is refreshed and learnt properly :)

Play teachers with yourself. Do this by speaking out loud and explain the content in your own words as if you were teaching. You sound mad, but honestly it works very well.

Use a mirror, memorise your notes, put them away and then say as much as you can while looking at yourself in the mirror. This helps you go through what you already know so you can look back and refresh for later.

Have a Question book, test your knowledge by answering exam style questions and all the ones you get wrong note them down in a little notebook. This helped me a lot as it prepared me for any questions i found hard while going through as much practice as possible.

Sing your notes, make a melody out of them. This is so effective and honestly gets stuck in your head like many catchy songs. Repeat short revision phrases and make mnemonics to have them effortlessly lingering in your mind.

some study tips from my psychology teacher 📖

STOP Cramming

cramming is good for the short term, such as just before a test (i’m talking like an hour before), but shouldn’t be used as an effective study method. you only learn the information in the exact way you read it, so any practical application on your test won’t be easy to answer. you also will struggle with answering the same questions you studied for, but asked differently.

Spacing Effect

the spacing effect is essentially the opposite of cramming. instead of doing a 4 hour study session, break it up into groups of 30 minutes. do 30 minutes, take a nice long break, go back for 30, and repeat. that break in between gives your brain time to encode and store the information. this can be done in either one day, or over the course of a few days before the test.

Mnemonic devices are your best friend when dealing with lists of information

any sort of rhyming scheme, letter association, acronyms, etc. is proven to help you. any american can say ROY G. BIV and know exactly what they’re talking about, another example is HOMES for the great lakes. another major example is “Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally”/PEMDAS for the order of operations. this helps with lists, i use it all the time in biology for stuff like the Levels of Classification or Characteristics of Living things. for AP Euro i remember “Descartes with a D” because he “Doubts and wrote Discorse on Method”.

Hierarchy Organizing for Midterms and Finals

by breaking information down into a hierarchy, you can figure out how to study all your chapters at once. these are often called “graphic organizers” and it takes the whole topic, then breaks it into subsections, then subsections of those subsections. here’s an example i found for my Memory unit

the whole unit is memory, the subtopics are sensory memory, short term, then long term. then comes the subdivisions of long term memory and so on. this is wonderful for study planning in regards to large information tests.

these are just some of the tips we talked about, and obviously they won’t work for everybody, but it’s really helped my studying process because it’s literally how the brain processes information best for long term storage and retrieval.

E até parece que a Apple quer deixar isso acontecer.

If you own it, you should be able to repair it, modify it, make it better. It's yours.

Fight for your right to repair.

things I wished I knew before starting college

Study ahead of time

Start studying early. As soon as classes start, review your lecture notes and start revising and familiarising yourself with each subject. Remember the important key-points beforehand because they tend to repeat itself.

Your friends are NOT your group mates

Just because they’re your friend, it does not mean that they have to be your group mates. They’ll be many assignments in college that’ll require you to work in groups and it can get frustrating and messy. Choose the people that are most compatible with you in terms of work ethics. Don’t feel pressured to join your friends just because you feel obligated.

FInd a job/save!!

I cannot STRESS this enough. College really does drain all your money, it’s too easy to spend without realizing. Try finding a job that allows you to work for flexible hours, or better yet- a job that allows you to work from home. Juggling both college and work can be overwhelming for some, so if you can’t get a job, save!

Don’t procrastinate on your assignments.

This is definitely something I’m guilty of. It’s so easy to just not think about them and push them back till the very last minute. DON’T DO IT. It’s not worth it. Start your assignments and research the moment it’s given so you won’t need to stress yourself out and pull all-nighters.
