In an attempt to pay it forward, we ask anyone with advice to give to submit it through our Upload Resources form! Below you can see tips and tricks previous or current neuroscience students have offered to help you with your future studies.
Go through the textbook and lectures and make anything that you think could be tested as a flashcard (especially for classes like NSCI 201)
Some classes you need to understand concepts more than rote memorization and thus practice is more helpful (like CHEM 233, BIO 234, PSYC 277)
Use ChatGPT to test yourself with your notes or slide decks. You can create multiple choice question sets, open answer questions, and so much more with it!
Ask yourself how each concept you're learning can be linked to others (even across courses) to help you remember better and apply your knowledge better in exams. It can be helpful to visualize these links with flow charts or mind maps (draw them yourself or use Miro).
