"Many students today study too much, they don't trust their brain and so just keep studying. They don't know how to put things into their brian the way the brain likes it." says Idriz Zogaj.
This activity will get you thinking about the best way to train your memory. Watch this short video clip of Idriz Zogaj explaining how he memorizes a whole pack of 52 cards by looking at them just once. We only have 14 summary points.
Learning - the way your brain likes it.
Make a fun vivid animated story to connect key words together. Use all your senses. Make it 3D, something you could walk through or into. "When your brain has fun you focus on the task ... and you reinforce the power of memory."

Jaundice
Jaundice
Jaundice is a yellow decolouration of the skin and the whites of the eyes, caused by a build up of bile pigment (bilirubin). This activity puts student in the role of a junior doctor, examining a patient with Jaundice, and exploring the causes and consequences. A second activity reviews the recycling of red blood cells (erythrocytes) in the liver and also how this process causes a surprising range of colours in bruises as they heal.

What are the symptoms of Jaundice
State which chemical from the liver causes the yellow colouring.
Outline the causes of jaundice.
Underlying causes of jaundice
Underlying causes of jaundice
In adults, the jaundice itself usually doesn't cause health problems, apart from some itching, but the underlying causes can be more serious.
Use your knowledge of liver structure to explain why each of the following underlying problems may cause jaundice, with the symptoms described:
With hepatitis, an infection of the liver, damaging hepatocytes, the person may have a fever as well a jaundice.
With blockage of the bile duct, there may also be symptoms such as upper abdominal pain and pale stools (faeces).
A patient comes to your surgery complaining of feeling very tired. When you examine her eyes the white area of each eye is yellow. You think this might be Jaundice, but can't remember what you learned at medical school.
