A summary:
There are different levels of difficulty with any topic. In the same material, there can be areas of varying difficulty. So he's saying to be efficient you should learn the parts that you easily understand and skip the parts that you're finding hard. Make sure to mark down where those hard parts are. Then go back afterwards and see if you understand it a second time around. Because you're gaining prior knowledge, it should give you a foundation to learn some of the difficult parts. And you can repeat this process as many times as needed. He calls the technique "order control".
Additional tip from me: If you've done this process and still have parts you don't get, take what you are having trouble with and try to reword what's being said. Don't repeat phrases unless there's no synonyms. Often textbooks or professors will use very clunky, overly verbose phrasing. If you can break down what is being said to its fundamentals and with the most basic terminology, you'll comprehend it much better. This is one step of the Feynman technique, I believe.
I never thought of using quillbot for this purpose, thanks
Hmm
thank you for saving my time.
Thanks for the summary! I'll just contend that using a paraphrasing bot is not a good idea because it offloads cognitive load onto a software when that very cognitive load is actually the most important process for higher quality encoding. Always remember that the input and output are less important than the processes your brain activates to transform the input into the output. Any shortcut to that TENDS to reduce either retention, depth of mastery, or both :)
@@JustinSung true i checked it and its kind of inefficient. gotta rely on my brain only.
I do a similar technique that I learnt from Unjaded jade. It was applied to past papers . You basically went through a past paper marking down questions or topics you failed to comprehend or could not recall. She called these “knowledge gaps” which you would then revise on so that later on when u tackle the question again, you’ll be able to answer it. Now I can try applying it to my studying ✨🙌🏽, Thank you for your help Justin! I’ve been learning to study more efficiently thanks to your videos🙏
Plz give me that video link
Justin Sung + Unjaded Jade = studying efficiency to the 100000000% bdbfngkv damn!!! They both are my favorite studying channels, I literally jumped of emotion when I saw somebody else here who watches Jade's vids ^^
Guys i need help
I need to memorise alot of words for english exam and French exam
But i don't know how to do that
And he always talk about topics that need understanding and connecting ideas..etc
But it's not the case here
So please someone help me how do i memorise alot of vocabulary
@@amr...3 hey, I’m not sure if I can help but I think any method based on active learning and relevance would be useful. Maybe like association, assigning a word to the corresponding object (even a picture of it) or scenario. Like when using a pen when studying, you can be calling it a pen but in the language you are trying to learn. Another thing I would do is maybe group words depending on where they can be used. Like I’m taking a walk, I would group together words that correspond to the scenario eg trees, the sky idk bugs? I feel it makes it easier to remember. I hope it gives you an idea of what you could do. Hope I helped in some way.
@@nuthara1617 hey, I hope this can still be useful th-cam.com/video/LxkjjU42h8s/w-d-xo.html
There's another metaphor to this:
If you are solving a jigsaw, you don't pick a random piece and see if it's the top left corner, and do it piece by piece. You find a piece that you can easily put somehwere (corner or edge usually) and than build on top of that. Also you can look for most easily solved parts, like a characteristic color.
That's such a good way of describing this technique. Thanks
Love this thank you
great
Wow. Best example
zigsaw analogy is very relevant
your single most powerful thing that you taught me is "you don't learn with your paper, you learn with your brain"... That's one thing I never really realized... I was always just looking into my papers and just memorized some things, without ordering them in usefulness or anything... you taught me, that you really need to understand the topic you are learning about... And literally in every subject my grades went at least one if not two grades higher and I have the best grades in my whole school life... thanks for everything
I Absolutely agree with you!
Exactly, although most will claim it’s common sense… most of us never actually “think” most of us are lazy and the school system and society glorifies things that come easy
When you stop and go through the dirty work of thinking, you come to realize a lot of things are much easier then you thought prior.
Even if it’s a super complex topic where you think as hard as you can but still can’t wrap your brain around it…, it’s still way better then not even attempting.
Sometimes it can take more than one time of super hard thinking to understand a topic, this has happened to me many times
I’m a straight A student as of right now and I’m still trying to improve because of personal goals
I know my grades probably won’t stay A’s as I’m entering my second year of college majoring in Comp Eng but I can at least try my best
@@AmmoBopsi have a question. How do u learn so much content while using space repeation bc it would just over load. Also what techniques do you use
@@_anime_shawty7654
I have a genuine curiosity to learn as much as I can, and it’s not for the sake of “feeling smart” but because you are literally giving yourself more tools 🛠️ for the next situation (in life, school etc…). I have a genuine hate for being uneducated, to feel so helpless drives me crazy. I think the combination of these two fuel me into storing a lot that I learn in class/life as “important”. I also tend to ask many questions in my brain while learning something, I call these “no brainer” questions, where if I forget the information, I can simply remember my answers to the no brainer Q’s and peice it back together. It’s not about memorizing shit at all… it’s about making something feel so obvious (because you understand it so well) that it’s hard to forget, or if you do forget, you’ll have the critical thinking skills to re-figure it out..
I hope this helps 👌
@@_anime_shawty7654 some of my No brainer questions include:
“Why am I learning this”
“Where can this be applied in real life”
“If given a homework problem on this topic, how would I go about solving it.”
The point of these questions are for you to make deeper connections to what you already know if life, so that it sticks longer/makes sense. 😄
Summary:
- *Order control technique:* Reordering the way in which we are consuming information
- There are different levels of difficulty with any topic
- *learn* the parts that you *easily understand* and *skip* the parts that you're finding *hard* .
- *Update* your *mind-map* /Notes as you learn/encode.
- *Mark down* those *hard parts* aside (page #, key words) and *move on* to next thing.
You're gonna end up skipping heaps of information constantly and that's okay, because the purpose is to go through this text and pick out the things that make sense already.
⇒ *Slowly building up* a stronger network of *prior knowledge* (foundation ).
- Go back through skipped notes and re-process the info to make sense of it, And *update* your *mind-map* as you encode/learn.
- *Repeat* this *process* as many times as needed to cover what you have left ~x3 (Learn>skip>learn)
- Use *flash cards* as *last resort for* informations that you *don't* know how to *make sense* of it (because probably that piece of information is a little bit more isolated).
What does it mean by isolated
@@_anime_shawty7654 the info which is not relevent to the context you are reading/understanding and exist as an isolated info
@@_jeezgg A book/Course is generally structured to gradually build up knowledge for the student (based on the teacher/author's experience/knowledge/logic, which works fine most of the time).
Sometimes, this will not work for you.
Let's say you are reading a book chap2 that explains the concept/function/principal "F" but you don't fully get it (for some reason), you continue .... chap4 explains/talks about function/concept "G", and "G" use/related to "F", and for some reason "G" makes more sense to you (you can be using an abstraction of "F" without fully understanding it - and you may come back later to fully grasp "F")
That happened to me in science topics (math) many times
@@Med_Amine374 should I make notes first then?
thanks for breaking it down👍
I just realized that you teached us almost everything we need to know about effective ways of studying and more.
And I hope you keep up with your TH-cam channel.
Cause you really got big potential on YT more than you could even imagine.
I believe you will reach 5 million subs if you dedicated to your channel
You’re a hero. I’ve followed the instructions provided in your other videos, and they have evidently worked for me.
I really like how you emphasise the importance of understanding over memorising information. I have definitely found that concepts are much easier to grasp once a good solid foundation is established
This is really good. I generally tend to focus a lot on things that don't make sense and look them up so I can get their concept. But this strays me away from the actual material and I end up finding even more terms or concepts that I don't know while trying to understand that one thing. Im definitely going to apply this from now on.
I relate so much!
Same! I get stuck then eventually give up...
Omg ive been there
This is exactly how I feel and I waste SO MUCH TIME and then i get so fuckin frustrated too, like at the end of my study session I just wanna throw my physics notebook out the window, swear
This is, hands down, the most beneficial video for me that you have posted thus far. This is so close to what I already do but, understanding it in this way creates a clearer understanding of myself/my study process for me in my mind. Thank you. This was a great one!
This is amazing and this makes so much sense. Recently I've been doing the same but I didn't realise this is what I'm doing and I wanted to understand why I understand so many things faster and easier than others. Now I realise this is one of the main things I do. I recently finished studying the whole syllabus for an exam the same way. Thank you for helping me realise and understand the method I'm using. Because people ask me what methods I use but I don't understand what methods I actually use 😅
Please teach me, I’m struggling
Hello, Dr. Sung! I believe the concise way this was explained will help me use it better, since I ended-up doing something similar, trying to gauge my cognitive load while studying. When I would get tired and too confused, I would either skip the topic (leaving energy to spare) or attempt to slowly wrap my head around it (and tire-out quickly). Problem is, I would do that for half an hour, instead of the recommended minute, so now I know ! Thanks! :D
So important to be aware of how cognitive biases like the framing bias and anchoring bias can skew our learning. It's really empowering to be in control of the way you take in information
fr
hey beakless good to see someone also on the discord chat😂
Haha our Discord profiles are homogenous to multiple environments.
What do you mean
Thank you so much for your free youtube videos. You have no idea how much it has changed my studying and my life!
As a fellow teacher this approach makes sense as long as I don’t put myself in an uncomfortable psychological state. I enjoy this way. It also allows me to access my memory in a very relaxed pleasant manner. So the whole experience is something I enjoy.
Thank you for this video Justin. I'm 50, getting back into college to pursue a 2nd career. I'm really enjoying how you explore concepts. I expect to put your material to good use!
Omg that is so cool. All the best
good luck man
👍👍
Happy for you
Bro, you're a badass 💪
Wow, I love your intriguing ways of approaching learning ... I always learn something new from your videos. Thanks a lot :)
During my Uni, this was almost the only technique I used -intuitively- with a virtual mapping (no note taking, almost no spaced repetition - y can say I was lazy) and was able to get average degrees!
Basically, follow the path of least resistance when it comes to your understanding and curiosity when learning or working. It is OKAY to skip things that you don't understand, write down what you have Q's on with the page #. After you've done your "rough draft" then go back and go through it again. With more prior knowledge you'll be able to answer some Q's that you previously had before and now you have more of a solid understanding. Keep going through it a total of 2-3 times and then the ones you don't understand, ask the teacher // go to office hours.
Well said, doppelgänger.
Love this so much, I didn’t realize but I noticed that a lot of what you were saying was tips I was doing for my math subjects. And trust me when I say it works!!!😭😭 love how you put words to the things us learners may or may not be doing already
True! I was struggling to understand a chapter, so I was just reading it for a few times to note mentally what it was about. Now, after moving on to consecutive chapters, I come back to the first one and suddenly everything makes sense. Great tip :) gives hope not to give up, comprehension will eventually come :)
This man is a game changer. Thanks justin u have changed a lot
JUSTIN! Just...wow. I am a) super excited to incorporate this into my own learning immediately and b) super annoyed that I wasn't aware of this technique when I was studying! The amount of effort, frustration and feelings of "I'm not smart enough" would have been eliminated!
I recently commented on another of your videos about how I'm trying to learn piano / music and that I'm stuck....I feel like this would have helped me move through some of the topics / pieces of music much faster instead of trying to microstudy and rote learn things.
Right now I am creating a map of the whole concept of learning chords from sight and sound, and I'm hoping that it will identify where my weaknesses / lack of understanding lies. Will report back what I discover...
I used to fail my math classes before but after I started doing some advanced math that was out of my league, my math is getting better and better now. This trick is really helpful. Thank you.
@@sawsansalem4400 I would say that practising everyday is the way to go. Try doing HOTS questions everyday. Starting with previous grade is also a good method to build and strengthen your basics but make sure to attempt only HOTS questions. That's all I could give you. I'm not sure if this is even helpful or not but I hope it do help you to get a general idea on what to do
Justin
I used a complex method when I was studying for my A/Ls.
- Time management ( weekly timetable)
- colour coding the subjects
- Short Notes
-constant referring of notes
-tracking each and every unit of every subject with their difficulty level
Likewise.
But the issue is after entering into the university it is kind of hard to maintain the same level of dedication.
Your video really gave me some tips on to how to properly absorb the info.
In the past I would just go sequentially.
Thanks mate @JustinSung 👍.
This reinforces for me what Tim Ferris calls ‘sequencing’. Everyone gives it their own name. Thanks for posting 👍
I do a similar process going with my courses. In pre-reading, my goal is just to get enough picture of what I am to learn and go through the material/s quickly, marking whichever doesn't make enough sense. During class, I check to see whether new connections pop up, or if I had to consult with the lecturer with whatever's still vague for me.
My program is more concept-heavy than fact-heavy, so usually it would not do to just use flashcards for concept applications. Unless the concept was a minutiae, I use synthesis/review papers to better acquaint myself with the concept. I do that until the concept is no longer "isolated", having been exposed to other concepts relevant to it.
I wish I had access to your teachings as a child. Your channel is life changing!
1:20
3:00 Study PHD first and then to understand and then the high school
8:40 source material, skipped elements, notes
10:00 forcing the line by repetition means bad encoding. Take key-note and move on, even if it happens frequently. Focus in what made sent. Now you have your prior knowledge. Then, it starts making sense, you know why it is relevant.
Makes sense - keep
Does not - leavr for later
Then, start from the top, now you have more prior knowledge
Working memory capacity is short, seconds, frame it, organize to begin it.
13:30 framing bias, anchor bias
Thanks for the amazing tips always! You inspire me to become a content creator as great as you!!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 finger crossed and gonna apply those tricks now for my upcoming exams
Wow, I feel that I'm quite picky when it comes to what information I choose to not only retain but also put into practice.
This is the first video I've ever seen from you and well, I'm at a loss for words because although I was going to just do a quick pass through and essentially scope you out, I noticed that just about everything you spoke on I have experienced and or am experiencing right now. So rather than just scooped you out, I'm about 3/4 ton of the video and I'm highly considering looking more into you and some of those courses you spoke on.
Thank you ao much.
Thanks for the free videos, I can t afford the course but these videos are really helpful. God bless you
Order control technique:
Change the order in which you study.
3 sets of text:
1. Original material
2. The things you don't understand - add the things you feel you can only memorise
3. Your notes
Revisit the notes you took. Then the record of the things you didn't understand and note down the stuff you understand now (after your initial notes). Start from the top again. If you reach isolated information that you don't understand still after multiple itterations - then begin to memorise it
Unknowingly, I use these methods years ago, back then I civil student was learning by myself concept of civil engineering physics called "Moment Mechanic". I could recall and understand most of basic concept, and solve ptoblems also, yet frustated by the fact that I didnt get to know how the fundamental principle could be applied to certain advanced case/or how to utilize that certain concept for further analysis or creation, just then I read some thesis and I get some gist and able to re-engineer my way of study so that I am able to get what I wanted. I thought I was being crazy doing that because that wasn't what taught by professor... but now, to listen Justin explaining similar things that I've done, damn, now I thought this is hella advanced man.
Hey doc… 56 year old here, having to start learning something completely new again and starting to study again. This challenge forced me to think about how I can effectively learn… never had to do that in the past - at least not based on a strategy - so looking for ways to improve. Your content is great for that! Thanks so much for putting that out there and allow me for a next step in my career…
Hi Dr. Sung great video, i have actually used this method without even knowing it in learning guitar or learning new song or style of music, i would focus on parts that i did not know well by using the basics of what i already knew and it is very effective when I would finally put the whole song together or new technique for new style guitar i.e. flamenco, classical, country, rock etc..
It’s make perfect sense - this strategy called reverse planning and it used for for the conscious mind to agree with the subconscious. So as result you can continuously study until you get to the endpoint.
Bro..hope wherever you are you are healthy and happy.I will not let your efforts and dedication go unrewarded.
I kind of did this unknowingly.
Read through the headings of the chapter, some i was familiar with and some not. So I decided to start with the easiest parts.
This helped me get in flow and unknown topics started to make a lil more sense too.
Thx for structuring the technique.
So cool. You just described something to me that l found myself to be very effective though my own introspection, but you described it to me in a different in-depth way of understanding it.
You also added some techniques that l hadn't thought to try that could work with this learning style. Great video!
"The way the information is presented to us INFLUENCES the way we think about it." Great video!
Great video! Loving the course so far!
Welcome back man, I know you have a busy schedule and have your thing going on, putting food on the table.
But we were glad to see you dude. Hope all is well on your side. Stay safe.
it's always been easy for me to do this sort of thing with math, and it's my favorite subject. this is my first time hearing a clear explanation of this technique; i appreciate this
Ok I'm curious, how would u use this strategy to solve a math problem with words?
@@the_god_killah im not sure but i dont think you can tackle specific problems with this strategy. Instead, you can use mind-maps to learn the topic(s) the problem involves.
I've done this when learning languages. I thought I was just lazy cuz I only pay attention to what's the easiest to assimilate and skip the rest. Usually on the second run through a book all the stuff that was hard the first time is much easier to understand the second time! Thanks!
Can you tell me your summarized progress? Or how you did the study trick? I didn't get to catch up all in the video because my brain was rambling
I'm also try to learn languages but I don't know how to start or what study hack I should do
@@marktomanda537 if you got any help please reply lol
@@marktomanda537 bro did you watch the video? it's literally a study hack
@@t111ran3 I watched it, thought my head was rambling because I partly don't get it
I hear practice what you don't understand.
Isolate things with shallow understanding and go through them using prior knowledge.
After watching your first video about Encoding and how the brain works, I’ve been so interested in psychology and how we learn. I’m implementing this technique for my TEFL certification course I’m in right now but it’s also helpful for when I teach future students! I’m also reading a book related to thinking/psychology :)
Thank you for the great technique Dr. Sung.
This is not your regular study guru video. Dr. Justin Sung truly goes in depth in his explanation. I had to watch this twice to understand the technique. For those saying it's lacking in detail, give it a chance. Open your brain and watch it again.
Were all here because were all lacking in a way when it comes to learning abilities.
Coming away from mediocrity takes effort.
I’ve been going through your videos all evening, mostly because one my children has a very hard time learning.
My older two naturally do the things you mention, even this strategy you’ve described in this video. I call it onion reading to describe what my homeschooled children do, because with each go through they comprehend more and make sense of it. They’ll read a book over and over at different times. And they begin to make sense of texts that are not meant for their ages at all. My second boy was 7 years old when he began reading Watership Down, and it was way beyond his comprehension. He chose to read it anyway and read it over and over again for months. I was shocked both by how much he comprehended and his dedication to it.
My third child however, can’t find much motivation to read nor has much curiosity about any academic subjects. His current subjects are Lego, drawing Lego characters and memorizing things he hears. I feel like if he found it easier to learn reading or math or science he may have more motivation for it, or maybe it’s just very hard for him to focus on things that have no meaning to him. Still trying to figure this out.
Great video and I’m very excited to apply this, automatically subscribed!
I'm learning English and I found your Chanel recently and you give me a lot of expressions, words and phrases and also learning technique that you teach👌 You are very helpful.
Such a good advice. I needed this like 3 years before
THATS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING, HAVING a higher level to begin makes the basic inherantly more understandable. A lot of the stuff u say in your videos ive noticed in my own learning but the problem I have is finding the techniques to learn the things uk. Like highlevel learning.
Got me good with that fake out. Had never seen this channel before, so I had no idea what to expect. Was just about to close the video. Nicely done.
It works , that’s how I study classes like history and nature any thing that requires lots of info , don’t know if it works on math or similar, but in general it helps me build a mind map in my mind , basically start from the general idea and then go to more specific
I remember having some difficulty with hard high school problems when getting into university. But, after solving some basic calculus problems, which were even harder, solving high school ones was almost trivial.
omg this is fricking brilliant. bless you so much
Thank yoy very much Justin, I'm excited to try this technique out. I will have soon in mai my first exams as a PTA and its so hard to learn all this stuff. I hope it could be a good way to understand and remember more what I read. Greetings from Germany
Yes Dr. Justin! Excited to see this video when it’s released
Omg I got so excited when I knew that u r uploading a new video!!!🔥😂
Was so helpful as expected ❤
Will try to put this on action
I wish schools did this with children! When I was studying for the IELTS, I realized doing the three piece of writing backwards starting with the third passage and lastly doing the first passage gave me a much higher score. I think it's because once i have the most difficult one completed, it raised my confidence and forced me to spend less time on the easier pieces.
My mind is blown. This makes so much sense. Please keep uploading this content.
I think this is also great for motivation and enjoyment of studying. On the Huberman lab, Dr. Huberman talks about dopamine a lot and what of the practical ideas is the benefits of adherence from a task, game, job, etc that you win 80% of the time and experience frustration and fail maybe 20% of the time. Variability of rewards with it skewed more towards "winning."
This also reminds me of Nassim Taleb's story of how he read books as a kid. He would just read until he got bored and wasn't understanding then he would skip or switch books.
I think I learnt this lesson naturally. Basically, I hit a wall of trying to learn some abstract mathematical concept that just didn't click, and also there are so many rabbit holes in math.
I told myself, "generality over speciality" --> meaning to not trying to dig further when there is still more bredth to achieve.
so hit the bredth then the depth, and then again with the main message of this video: you'll have other pieces of the puzzle that will actually allow you to piece THAT confusion piece...
Alhamdulilah
Yeah i agree with this, this has more to do with the "understanding the bigger picture" phenomenon. If you see what exactly this knowledge has been used and you read through it - and it should be interesting as it doesn't involve understanding complex concepts, but rather a general story, and you adopt it, then reading some basics of the same subject will make more sense and will be easier to memorize. I found myself doing this or aching to do this when learning often unconsciously.
Thank you for the informative content as always! But I hope you can also add chapters or atleast time stamps~ It helps better organize and segment the video accdng to the flow of ideas. It might also help viewers to know what time their topic of interest will be discussed.
Yessss
Thanks, this actually worked pretty well. I was trying to understand something about frictional force at physics and now I finally did. I'm gonna keep using this, obviously.
Summary please
Help!
I just discovered Dr Justin Sung! Glad I did. Maybe oo late for me but not too late for my daughter who is struggling with her prep for the O levels next year! 😃
I didn’t know about this study technique, which absolutely more useful, I think. It makes more sense to me. I’ll definitely try it. Earlier all subjects I was learning by using flashcards, but it’s learning by heart, cramming per se without understanding all information.
I made it through law school fighting against myself while studying and I wish past me even from back in college found your tips sooner 😅 These are rly helpful, thanks!
I kindof do this when I start to study a course. I would check out the outline and categorize which ones are familiar and which ones are unclear. I would plan more for those which are challenging. I find it useful. Thanks for verifying this technique also work for others!
You're welcome
Thanks Justin. Great tip!
Wow! Never thought about it that way. Thank you
Thank you Dr.Justin great advice so far ❣️❣️❣️
What understood from the video : thanks for the information
>
1soursce material . 2skipped element 3 notes
go through it
and every time you feel "doesn't make sence" and you feel that the only solution is to memorize it through force> write it down separately > with some background info on it
and move on
you will be skipping a lot
but slowly we have moreknowledee when we go through it again.
and then you know more and understand more
and what you skipped first will be easier to understand.
Suuuuuper helpful. Thank you Justin!
I'm ready for it!
Looking forward to more videos on order control and higher order learning (and 24 hours to enrollment)! #forthealgorithm
Thank you very much, I know the strategy to look for a "lightweight" text or video on a particular topic before starting with a complex text, but with your method, I don't need to search first for easygoing information. I'm looking forward to giving it a try.
This absolutely makes sense. From 'zooming out' to 'zooming in,' from the 'big picture' to 'the details,' we need to grasp the whole thing first to understand where to focus our attention. I find this an intelligent approach to mastery. It resonates incredibly with someone who often struggles with the question of 'what's the point of detailing?' within a topic. For me, relying solely on details would be a mistake because they're infinite. They consume a lot of our time and mental space, making memorization or deriving meaning challenging. The question arises: 'How many details should we learn to master a concept?' This always made me feel overwhelmed. The traditional approach of starting from details and moving towards the big picture doesn't make sense to me. I've always wanted to start with the very big picture. During my school days, I attempted to piece together the available information to form the highest-level understanding. However, limited resources made this a struggle in the traditional teaching method. I realized my brain craved understanding the core or the big picture first, followed by the details. Once I grasped the core concept, identifying the necessary details for specific purposes (e.g., competitions or university exams) became much easier. Learning the big picture is highly engaging when done well. It's akin to providing your brain with an image and then enhancing that image with the appropriate details. This method saves energy, time, and space, bypassing or reducing the struggles associated with memory, intentional revision, and various study techniques. It deviates slightly from the demands of schools, universities, or textbooks that often force-feed information, turning learning into a nightmare for some. This approach is why some people can't develop a passion for learning despite scoring well. I truly appreciate the creator of this channel for sharing this truth, which isn't just a technique but a method that genuinely works, especially for students similar to me."
True. I always got bad grades in chemistry. Struggled for three years in highschool. This year i have graduation exams and one of the subjects i chose was chemistry. I started with general chemistry... Turns out i couldnt do well all the years before because i didnt even know the basic stuff. Now i still struggle but mainly to remember all of the compounds reactions and shit. Its so much easier to understand it tho.
How did you cover the basic chemistry? I struggle with it too
Omg this is how I learn ! My problems though: i had journals and lost my sections, now i got a tablet for nursing school(currently taking Pathophysiology) now I have so many random templates but the good thing is I can just search the word and im able to link my information together. I have adhd, and I’m a slow reading so I have to use read aloud, however, I’m so slow in deep learning so having 2weeks and 8-10 lectures of power points plus 10 chapters from the text book god I can’t finish all my reading/PowerPoints 😢
It makes sense and it reminds me of when i was in volleyball course and we were weak so the teacher gave us heavier balls .It was super hard at first but we continued with those balls. In the end of the course they gave us the normal balls and it felt like whenever i touch it was flying across the field. I haven't watched the whole thing but i guess he talks about this in a different way.
No, it's opposite
I didn't search for this but i needed this thank you
OH. WOW. your channel is growing so fast. Well done!👏👏❤❤

5:10 it’s inefficient if we start too advanced
5:30 sentence 1-foundational knowledge (different level of difficulty) -require prior knowledge
build foundational knowledge
Great advice so far! ❤️ still watching 👀
I have seen your comments in
Study to success channel
5 in one
Motivation Tamil, and also here,.
Seeing your comments everywhere,,
Are you Tamil??
I sufferd a lot from bad order of information through this high school year,
and I thought about why the authors don't excert more efforts to repeat some information or put it in the simplest order to make sense out of it.
I even thought about skipping irrelevant or hard information but the fact that I'm in high school makes me a lot anxious about skipping something although I know I'll get to it later.
so It's good to know that there is someone like you think the right way and encourages the right studying strategies ❤
these videos just makes me more certain and confident about the way I think
you are doing greater job than you really think !
I hope you share more of your knowledge on youtube 😊
your YT student from Egypt
makes lots of sense, might start to do it
Thankyou So much. I am improving a lot these days in this process of learning
Thanks again, Justin!
Thank you, Justin!
Information dense! I cannot express how much I love your contents and Farnam Street's!

What if I told you that .. We indeed already have that Text book!
How cool and meaningful it would be to connect the content within that textbook with the prior knowledge in our minds!
That's really a game changer information one of the best and helpful video I have ever watched thank you for charging this trick man I really appreciate ❤❤
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!
YOU SAVED MY LIFE!!✨✨✨
I’m so excited to try this thank you!!
Hope you like it!
I use this for physics when I am learning new concepts and it always works so efficiently than grabbing every point
Thank you Dr. Justin!
