Step 4
Step 4
Revision: All your active recall applications.
Priming:
Set your goals: start by sitting by setting clear goals for the study
Warm-up: engage in a brief warm-up to form a big picture of understanding the topic.
Create an outline: outline key concepts and ideas from pre-class readings.
Question: Create questions based on pre-class readings in order to maintain active class participation.
Diagraming techniques: to visually organize and connect main ideas.
Reflection: reflect on prior knowledge related to the topic.
In-class notes:
Listen actively: always stay engaged during class and listen actively to key points.
organize notes: you can use different ways to organize your notes: bullet points, headings, numbering...
Abbreviation symbols: create a system of observations and symbols to quickly take down information
Main ideas: do not copy everything word for word only focus on the main ideas and supporting details.
Space: leave space between lines so you can add more notes, questions, and explanations later.
Ask questions: seek clarification if needed, and never hesitate to ask questions from your instructor or classmates.
Post-Class Immediate Review:
Review Notes: right after class review your notes while the information is still fresh in your mind.
Clarification: pick out information you did not fully understand during class.
Fill in gaps: fill in spaces you left before for additional information.
Summarize: sum up all the main ideas and key concepts covered during class, in your own words.
Study aids: Use your notes to create: flashcards, concept maps, or summaries in order to facilitate your revision later.
Planning: recognize any topics or ideas that require more review or practice, then plan your study strategy.
Revision:
Study sessions: schedule/plan regular study sessions, to review class notes.
Active recall: test yourself on what you've learned so far (key concepts and definitions) without looking at your notes.
Practice: use quizzes, flashcards, self-testing, or ask a friend/family member to test you.
Weaknesses: recognize the topics that you find challenging so you can work more on them.
Use study aids: use any flashcards that you've created before you can also use online resources or study groups.
Stay coherent: stay consistent with your study efforts, and review consistently.
More techniques you can use:
Timeboxing: set a fixed amount of time to complete a task, and work within that time frame. This increases focus and productivity.
Pomodoro Technique: break your study sessions into short focused 25 minutes followed by a five-minute break.
Parkinson's Law: don't give yourself too generous of a deadline that will eventually lead to procrastinating. Set up strict deadlines to complete your tasks to create that sense of urgency.
Traffic light technique: you can use a Google Doc, excel sheet, or simply a piece of paper where you create a list of topics with a color code based on how well you understand the information (red=very poor, yellow=acceptable, gree=sufficient) this could be a very good review sheet for the test.
Feynman Technique: simplify all the key concepts, ideas, and definitions plus create examples, that an elementary student can understand. This process will facilitate active recall for you.
