He makes me feel like studying is fun. He can be a good teacher.
@SIX PACK ABS i actually never felt like that and ive been using my ipad for about half a year now in school and i personally think it has made making notes fun, faster and easier
@SIX PACK ABS taking notes is one of the ways u study. I dont understand how thats any different
@SIX PACK ABS then i guess thats just personal choice of being curious on a topic. I like my major so im enjoying my core subjects 😊
Taking notes is fun, but making them look pretty is time consuming and can actually hinder you. I’m actually glad this dude is more straightforward with his notes and make them actually look helpful instead of trying to make his notes look all cute and stuff
@@ZzzZ-hm3mr btw whats your major？
This guy will almost convince you to :
1) Purchase an iPad.
2) To become a Cardiologist.
What a content, and editing man! Hats off to you Sir!
😂😂😂
😂🤣
True he is like convincing me to be Cardiologist to write
3) buy goodnotes & apple pencil
What a content 😂
"You don't need drawings to be a visual learner..just organizing information in a visual way and orienting it in a space forces your mind to connect things." THIS!!! 🙌🏽 Thanks, this video helps me so much!
You're right this can help us change from basic note taking to better visual notes. How/what have you done to implement this? Thanks!
But after that you have to remember all information , so note taking can help with that
I'm almost 50 years old, thinking about going back and doing a PhD, and you just taught me something profound that 5 decades of life and a Master's Degree in Education never did anywhere near as clearly. Bravo.
I’m only nine and watching these videos and I actually use it
@chris yakimov I am 43 and finishing my first year in a PhD program. Go for it.
@@wkdbty Thanks for the support - I ended up applying last December and I got in. Start in September. :)
@@chrisyakimovyou got this!
This is the beauty of the internet and the free sharing of ideas and experience.
TH-cam algorithm actually working and promoting a content creator I've never seen a video from before. Awesome content man!
Same with me, already love this man
Yt: samuel suresh has uploaded a video!!
Me: I have never met this man in my life
Same here!
Same here! so glad i came across this guy
You guys should see his video of him creating a book. Very awesome
For anybody who needs it:
1. Break the lecture down in questions
2. Group the questions that you make in categories
3. Find the answers on your questions with the lecture and additional resources
4. Take notes
Thank you!
You’re awesome thank you
Thank you
Thank you
Thank you!
This is actually such incredible advice. I studied physics and every lecture made me feel so stupid. I thought I was, but 'feeling stupid' is actually the first step to learning. The second step is asking questions, and having the courage to do so. I wish I did this. Brilliant!
Well said!
I am currently studying physics and start the hardest semester of my degree in 3 weeks and I am definitely panicking! Congrats on making it out the other side.
Maybe it’s that I started college at a different maturity level but asking questions made me feel better. Most of the time everyone didn’t think of asking them so it saved everyone time. Also pointing out mistakes that made have occurred when posting items by the professor. Most of all it engages you in a different way, of course the downside is getting someone of track and things taking longer than they should or having your question avoided and not really answered thus wasting your time.
@@brayan8346 my favorite thing to do is stay after class to listen to the questions other people are asking the professor. Those are the questions that are great to hear because usually it’s a question you wouldn’t have thought to ask but you’re glad you got to hear the answer!
I am a junion taking AP physics in highschool and I wanted to ask how you were able to ask all these questions during the lesson, as well as how are do you not get lost in just making more and more questions if for example you dont understand a topic and that topic is needed to move onto the next topic and since you dont understand it you are then not able to engage in the topics and so on. Should I just make sure I know the topic fully before moving on? or should I save all the questions for later and try and study on my own time?
As a medical student, you totally opened up my mind and revolutionized the way I study. You have shifted my paradigm about studying that it isn't just a passive process, but an active one. Our brain works by answering question and our main job in learning is challenging it by asking questions and identifying problems. It isn't just plain memorizing and parroting. Thank you Samuel!
"All the answers you need are out there, you just need the right questions to access them."
This guy drops this freaking eye-opener just like that.
Unless you’re trying to learn dynamics in aerospace… there’s no standard notation and it’s so frustrating 😂
@@DanielDuhon are you ug student
He so very casually dropped so much wisdom in this video 🤣 I didn't expect a deep philosophical experience, but hey I'm all for it!

@@DanielDuhon How you guys are so savage and have answer to every thing??? I love it , I feel grandpa on internet now days.
i came here trying to learn how to take notes.
I'm leaving with my life figured out.
hahaha yea true i can relate
His videos are oddly inspiring
@@sannidhi-sh4so army 🥺🌸🌸
@@sundus993 yeeee
Exactly. So good.
On being 76 yrs of age and curious and wanting to know about subjects that I love such as organic gardening and love for nature, Samuel ‘s video has ignited a new fire within me to remember what I read and take notes was really inspirational, You are truly a great teacher , teaching about how to ask the right question s to arrive at the right answers and to study well is so important so as to get the optimum output from your iPad ,which I have found to be a very powerful tool in learning and widening your horizons . Truly a great video and a learning experience.
I wanted to cry at the end of this video, I finally found the answers I needed in order to master graduate school (of course I have to implement my own spicy lol) but this honestly gave me the guidance I needed. Switching to digital notes TODAY! Thank you and God bless
As a college professor, I am so glad you have showed all of this. This is absolutely brilliant. I may need to start showing this video to my biochem students! Thank you for this.
Hi there, is there way you could give me a quick overview of biochem. I go to Stony Brook university and majoring in biochem, your advice would really be helpful professor! Thank you
DrK I am glad it helped!
@@SamuelSuresh can u tell me if I have both goodnotes and notability, then what should i use either app for? do have a specific use for each app and if so, why? pls reply asap
Please do because Biochem is such a hard subject at times and this is similar to what I had to do to understand Biochem.
Sam Thong I have a video on my channel where i address this
"all the information you need is out there, all you need is the right questions to access them."
Previous exams questions are usual posted by the teacher himself generally. Still people can't seem to pass.
Also the answers. But still people don't pass.
Damn homie that’s crazy
PREACH
Wow. that's.. so..so deep
This video is not only useful to students. As a software engineer, this is also what I do in a professional setting. No matter how complex any project might seem at first, once I started writing down all the questions that came to my mind, all these smaller problems would become much more manageable. You just have to divide and conquer.
It was a nice surprise that this video is more about how you use the tool, instead of the tool itself. 🙂
Same for me , Linux administrator
Couldn’t agree more with the value of copying and drawing diagrams and notes yourself. As an electrical engineering student in a time… let’s just say before iPads, I found this to be an invaluable method. You’ve taken that to a fantastic new level that I’m eager to apply to my current endeavors. Love to see your mind at work!
Sam, I’m not try to get overly dramatic but your videos blessed my life and really saved me from a life shipwreck. My story. I’m a 42 year old. I just retired from the United States Marines as a senior officer. I have undergraduate degrees in Mechanical Engineering and a Masters in Computer Science. I know how to learn and achieve. However, during my career I was injured in Iraq and have PTSD. Fast forward to now since retiring I’ve been pursuing my long time goal of becoming a dentist. Since it was 22 years from undergrad I decided to take all the prerequisites again fresh to do well on the DAT and well...just be a good student. My first semester was horr-r-ble! I barely passed. Barely passed subjects with skills I demonstrably mastered before. I was depressed and about to quit. I notice on my own how disorganized I was relative to my undergrad. I have a box that contains all my notes and exams from my engineering school. Neat and arranged. Going back to school today I was all over the place; total disaster. I didn’t mention I have 5 daughters now! Lol At any rate the long period of time away from school, the PTSD, the new life responsibilities, and disorganization point to some real executive functioning challenges. I have a much to work on the front but this semester as been so much better. Why? I watched all your videos and it motivated me. I got the IPad Pro 12.9 and I settled on Goodnotes even though I bought both apps. This organization is a game changer. Your video about combining notes, slides, and personal study were phenomenal. I don’t get as stressed out and I feel like I’m actually learning. I’d like to send you a study guide I easily made on Goodnotes; I’m kinda proud of it. Lol. Keep doing what you’re doing. I think you’re gonna be the Khan Academy of executive functioning. 🙏😃❤️ Ron
Please share the note taking guide with me also. Thanks
I'm so happy for you man! Keep up the hard work! 🙌🙌
omg Ron this is so sweet i'm so happy 4 you and I sincerely wish you the best with everything, especially your academic endeavours.
Thank you so much for sharing your story! I agree this video is changing a lot for me as well!
Plz share the study guide ❤️😭
This is a class that needs to be given every year in school. HOW TO TAKE NOTES WORTH STUDYING!!! The iPad content is great but the method for noting and studying those notes is awesome.
Agreed, should be used from hs+
Completely agree! Set students up for success... “learning how to learn for you”
should i get a remarkable 2 or ipad ?
Not everything need to be taught in school lol. And every student is different - maybe some note taking works for you won’t work for me!
Just bought a surface pro, same concept, came for note taking ideas and this was fantastic
Hey Samuel! I never leave comments on videos but I found yours quite inspiring. I’m a teacher and I follow many teachers on TH-cam but somehow what you’ve shared of your learning experience resonated in me. Thank you so much! You’ll do amazing I’m sure :)
It's pretty crazy how someone can have the ability to show in that extremely beautiful kind of way, underlined with music, how beautiful it is to gain knowledge. Thank you for that big inspiration, Samuel!
I watched this video in 2020 and here I am one year later, I am an average student but I used your advice of writing down all the questions and I got 96% this year and understood everything. I just wanna thank you so much. Also I didn't use any iPad just with my books and papers. But now that I got good grades my dad told me he will buy me an iPad. ❤
Love this!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
That’s freaking awesome!
this is so wholesome :")
@@pranjalpatil3360 There was a Pranjali Patil in my school and I really thought you were her!!💀
You need to partner with Apple. You’re literally promoting them and they’re aware!! People from Apple came into my uni (ADL) and actually recommended seeing ur vdos (I had seen your channel when I bought my iPad Pro) great content 😉
Muskaan Gupta I actually bought mine 2 weeks after watching it!
ElTioDelPijama what iPad Pro is this?
@@ElTioDelPijama as to a person who can't decide whether to buy it or no, could you please give your advise
Haha exactly, i am going to have one soon.
Лейла Ахмедова I’m a Med student using the 12.9 inch 4th generation iPad Pro for online lectures(microsoft teams), drawing and just started note-taking using Notability app and i love it so far, it’s just amazing, the iPad is so sleek and thin & seamless. oh and the apple pen is amazing!! Hope this helps.
I think this is the first study tips video that actually made sense. I’ve seen other videos that I can’t help but think they’re just bragging about themselves. These tips helpful, organized, and straightforward. Most of all, they just make sense.
Additionally, I admire all the work it takes just to make one video like this. The hours of trial and error to get to this point and then the editing is quite impressive.
Breaking down the material into questions is actually something called active recall!! So the way he's taking notes is super efficient in remembering and learning. His one-liner is the all encompassing rule at the core of learning: "All the answers you need are out there, you just need the right questions to access them." Great video my dude!!
5% explaining how to use Goodnotes and Notability on the iPad
95% how to think about everything in life
undoubtedly one of the best content channels I have been blessed to come across. thank you for making this video!
“The key is to know what you don’t know”🤯
You mark what you don’t know and follow up to learn it.
In meetings or conferences I’ll use a different color for my questions so I can easily scan and find them after(I use one note)
It's true 🤯
The qualified often think, they aren't because they know what they don't know, they know how much they don't know. That, and only that, makes a human wise.
-Me lol
One afternoon, I had 2 hour discussion with our Chief Scientist about 4 quadrants. Defined as
A) What you think you know but not really knowing
B) what really know
C) what don’t think you know but Do know
D) what you really Don’t know
We were on a design team working on a replacement for the Patriot Missile at the time.
Honestly what you're saying honestly makes a lot of sense, Instead of writing down all the information, the questions will eventually be fulfilled throughout the lecture. Thank you!
For years i've been struggling with Education and I'm going into college soon and I've been nervous about how notetaking works. I'm going in as a computer science major, and I really needed a way to break down everything
One of the most insightful videos I’ve ever watched on TH-cam, it starts out as a concern that is so relatable and you end up having the applicable solution by the end. The best 18 minutes ever! THANK YOU!!!!
You should literally getting paid by apple, you’ve convinced me to buy an iPad pro
I literally bought one a few hours after watching some of his videos😂. I’m using it right now 👌
just buy the ipad air, cheaper and the new version is basically the same as the ipad pro if you don't care about specs etc
definitely just wait for the ipad air. its the same thing minus ProMotion. arguably better chip too.
Sam my thoughts exactly
@@SamVeneman you mean i pad air is same as i pad pro?
Wanted to learn how to take notes on my new iPad. Taught me how to study in Medical School as a bonus. Thanks man 😁
Lol me too 😂😂
Same
Same here
Same
this is exactly what i inuitively used to do in undergrad and in med school, i just never had anyone else explain the process! except i skipped the question part and ipads weren't really that big of a thing back then so i did everything by hand but would love making charts and tree diagrams to reorganize the lecture content into a way that "fit" in my head. very cool!!!
This man will be a brilliant teacher. We as humans lack these types of teachers.
You definitely made me want to take notes on an iPad I don't even have, for a class, I'm not enrolled in. Great job on explaining and your creativity to breaking things down.
As I was watching this I began thinking how I could apply this to post college life. I have a lot of things I like to research and learn and often I have a combo of notes and media about these things . From this video and others I plan to try and start creating digital notes with images , video links etc that condense all the information that works for me. I’m adhd and lazy so I’ll likely just keep watching videos lol but, the idea is I think the concept is applicable even if your not in classes.
This guy is a mad scientist when it comes to studying and learning. Not to mention that his video editing skills are top level.
I’m definitely going to return to this video going into college in a couple months. I’ve done well in high school by just “coasting” by, but I want to go into college with a fresh mindset with my note taking and study habits. This video, better than most others, has helped me understand how I can best succeed with new note taking habits and ideas. It also makes me even more excited to utilize my new iPad Pro in lecture. Have you experimented with typing notes/questions you may have with a keyboard set up? If so, how does that relate to your overall process?
definitely a good idea, i did the same in high school and used the same method in college and it really screwed me up. I followed up on the video and can proudly say I am a much better student :DD
Even though I have not watched your whole video I love it. And as someone who loved to study I could relate to your questioning. I also wonder if you felt this way, but there were many times when I studied large amounts of information and thought, “I’ll never learn all of this.” But the incredible thing was that there was always more in my brain than I thought. I think even if sometimes if feels as if our brains shut off and studying feels passive at times, if you keep looking at it and keep trying it finds itself into our brains. I found that so incredible.
Am I ever happy I discovered you this morning. I am a 67 year old lifelong learner, and your note taking tips will certainly help me organize my research and writing. Thank you Samuel.
Thank You Pam
Wait so you went 67 years without realizing how to write notes
Steven Di Jorio 😃 No silly, I am 67. Now I have a better grasp on organizing.
@@SamuelSuresh is that the 11" or the 12.9"?
He basically just taught me some biology, gave me motivation and taught me how to study..... Quality content, I'm subscribed.
Love all of this. As a cardiac nurse, I love how you have explained this. And you, my friend, will be with me, via your videos, in graduate school. Thank you so much. You are brilliant.
Absolutely love your process of getting the questions you want/need to answer from lectures! Will have to remember them when I start back up with my study next year!

Hey Samuel, I happened to stumble upon your video.
I've been thinking of switching to paperless notes ever since I gained interest in learning how to do digital art.
My senior year of high school in the midst of online schooling was a wreck, for lack of a better term. I barely passed by the skin of my teeth, even with the encouragement and help of my teachers who went above and beyond for me. It was so bad I took an academic gap year to recover from it all.
I look at my upcoming first year of college with a healthy dose of fear. While I can't say it's completely gone after watching this video, I can say it's taken the edge off of it.
Thank you very much for posting this.
i"m most impressed by your penmanship. My handwritten notes look like chicken scratch!
Me: laughs in *underprivilege* :(
perfect prerequisite to become a doctor...
in the app just jot down what you want to then there is a function which changes your handwriting to better handwriting or block letter or typed stuff your choice
How do you do this?
Me asking myself: "do I even write the notes? No I don't."
Am 65 and now want to go back to school. Why do I think I’m ready for this? I have an iPad.
You should go back to school if that’s what you want to do! It’s never too late to learn a little more.
Never too late. You can do it!
U got dis go peter go!
I’m so excited for you! You should!
Yess! You should do it! It’s never too latte and I mean, you do have an iPad 😂
Great video! It took me a long time to understand that embarrassingly simple idea of just asking questions. I remember being told all through school, from kindergarten to post-secondary to "ask questions". I think a lot of people take it for granted because they don't want to appear foolish or unknowledgeable. It's a lot less foolish asking a question than hiding that you don't know and never learning it.
Keep asking questions! Even outside of a typical learning environment, keep asking questions. Worst case you get told to go away, best case is you might get some hard-earned knowledge for free. Even then I find most people who are passionate about their work or hobby are more than happy to answer questions you have.
Wow! Just wow! I am a teacher and as my students are switching to digital devices over the last year, i begin to notice that many of them are struggling with their note taking... they would sometimes just write everything down as fast as they could, or don´t write down anything at all, maybe take a picture of a friends screen after the lesson. So before teaching them about the subject, i now absolutely will adress the methods that could be helpful for them. But what really hits me about your video is not the advice on how to take proper notes, but it is your approuch to learning (non-digital or digital). You are just so motivational, positive and authentic! I loved watching this video!!
I must say, the point you made "all you need is the right questions" is absolute gold dust. It's the only way to truly prepare and to engage with whatever scenario you're walking into, education, work, even just a chat with a friend or stranger. I really enjoyed the way you presented your content and the energy with which you did. Solid work man - huge congrats and thank you for sharing content like this!
so it's more like "study smart" rather than "study hard"
you need to put in the time and use it wisely :)
kahfi bonboy ayo
kahfi bonboy Yes because studying hard means a student would make studying more difficult by using the ways of how they should be studying than studying smart. Studying smart is more on finding smart ways, and methods to effectively, and time efficiently study.
Study smart is a part of study hard😛
kahfi bonboy I mean, work smarter, not harder.
Oh wow, I thought it was only me who did this. I absolutely agree that writing questions as your notes during the lecture is a very good guideline or map for when you study, I do this for my ICT module since all the content is already available in the slides, and I could enrich my knowledge by answering the questions I've written down.
I am crying! Thank you so much for this video. I am 38 struggled with school all my life and have do work extra hard to get good grades. I have ADHD. I have always struggled with comprehension I feel like this will be a game changer for me! Asking questions then doing research on it is brilliant! I have been dreading this upcoming semester because I have anatomy. My goal was to watch some note taking tips this surpassed my expectations thank you! I tend to make lengthy notes but I’m sure when asking questions you probably end up with a greater understanding that the notes can be summarized easily. Thanks again!!
I have the same issue. I was in grad school but withdrew because of my grades. I studied for hours and hours but wasn’t retaining anything. Im 42, way out from having attended school. This video is very helpful.
I absolutely love how he admits there were things he didn't know, and there were things that overwhelmed him. That's what makes good students and good teachers.
ok. aside from teaching us how to be organized and learn, you actually taught us about the body and delivered a lesson better than half my teachers could ever. wow
This is amazing. I used to do this for all of my science classes from basic life science to microbiology to even pathology. It’s a really helpful study strategy
I am in college of Medicine, second Semester and I have been using papers to take notes and after seeing this video I am willing to change it to an iPad or a Galaxy Tab S8 series, because we have so many lectures each week and I don't have that much time to review all of them on paper since I have to search for them one by one. Thank you so much ❤️
this is so much better than my method of writing everything down and not knowing what any of it means then daydreaming about something totally different for the rest of class
never related so much
Do you have ADHD? Cause same 😅
@@CarolinaGomez-bo6ur I do lmao
@@CarolinaGomez-bo6ur i dont but i do the exact same quite often lmao
This is soooo me
"Breaking things down, and building things up.." sounded like a poetry!
He's so inspiring ngl! This video didn't focus nor even seemed like he was trying to promote iPad Pro, he was just being the compassionate most inspiring person every student needed. Hats off! :))
Thank you for making this video, I had dropped out of collage back when I was 21 and now that I’m 23 and going back I’ve been nervous of failing again because it’s been a while since my I was in school. Thank you for showing me the way you think about studying it inspired me to believe in myself and create different ways to study for all the classes im taking
You sound like somebody that actually tried to learn because of genuine interest in your education. I wish I had friends in my class that actually wanted to learn and not just pass next exam when I did my bachelor's in software engineering... 😔
Oh i can definitely relate… my classmates are literally the same, they’re willing to put on minimal effort enough just to pass the class and not fail.. i actually love my major (data science) but have no friends that feel the same…
This is the first time ever I've not felt jealous or disappointed in myself when watching a video about medical study notes. Seeing your process rather than this 'immaculate final product' on its own really helps this video feel like you're trying to help others engage with their learning rather than just effectively 'showing off' with how good your notes are. Thanks for this :)
Great work Samuel and glad I stumbled on your video. Learning how to learn is the key and I can recall 30 years ago when reading my science degrees (real ones like yours not social science ones), when I realised the power of revision. Writing out ones notes as you do on your iPad really cements the learning. So many students think revision is just for swotting up prior to exams - it's not of course as you know.
Those epiphanies I would get when seeing almost feeling how complex polynomial calculus calculations worked fuelled a perpetual desire near addiction to have more such lightbulb moments.
Thanks mate and keep up the good work. I'll be sharing this with my kids for sure now the tech is here especially.
Good work Samuel, this video was great. You changed the way I see lecture heavy classes, it’s not about grasping every bit of information during class. It’s about our learning and studying habits to re-learn and reinforce information in our own personal way of understanding.
Also with the iPad, at the end of the video you said people think it will instantly click. I was one of those people. It is truly about the person and their efficiency to learn and understand to eventually transfer over knowledge to a physical or digital medium, regardless if its an iPad.
This was so helpful! I’ve been trying to get back into the “school” mindset to motivate me to get back to school but i’ve been so overwhelmed with the idea of school in general. This was so nice to watch!
same here! and it was really helpful to hear him emphasise individual learning styles over just one method. cause while it's important for us viewers to remember that ourselves, sometimes we just forget in the need to find ways to make school life easier. I got less info in this video than I did other study videos, but I got the most impactful lesson anyway.
@@AT-ws9lx yes same here too! I’ve always struggled because I’ve never known how to revise, everyone has always said flash cards but that method has never worked for me. This video was literally THE most helpful thing I’ve ever come across.
I always known myself for asking allot of questions during lecture. I’m the one student who asks the dumb questions and doesn’t feel ashamed. I’m there to learn. I am aware that that’s the way that I learn! But you just made me understand that I have been doing it correctly all along, however, to organize my questions like you do and start notes with them... genius. You just opened new doors for me man! Amazing! Thank you so much. Best video in studying!
I love that you went through the long journey of trying to find in your mind, the best strategic ways on how to succeed in your education. I really appreciate you making this video, and showing us what works for you. I learned a lot of things i can apply to my learning even though i am a sophomore in high school. This will be beneficial to my Science research class and my chemistry class. I am new to taking and organizing notes on my iPad, and now I have a pretty good idea.
Thank you so much, Samuel.
I am preparing for nursing school this August and I am trying to make a study method in which I will understand the materials effectively. I came across your video and everything just made sense to me.
Thank you for breaking it down. 🙏😊
This guy not only gave us a method for note-taking, but he also basically summarized how to study, learn, and even solve problems in our daily life that have nothing to do with school, and he did so in a smooth, organized, and coherent way. I really like this video and everything about it, from the film shots, to the explanation, to the editing, to the presentation. It's obvious he puts effort and thought into what he's doing and throughout the whole video I was just sitting there nodding my head. Great content, well done. ❤
You’re a gifted speaker/teacher. Thank you for this. Is was so soothing (lol yes) and relaxing! I don’t even need to learn how to take notes, I was doing research on iPad pros 😂
Samuel, I wanted to say thank you. I am was accepted to be apart of a occupational theray program in my college and as a visual and kinesthetic learner, writitng notes have been giving me anxity during class, my handwriting is a mess and I feel I haven't written all the necessary information that is needed on tests. But watching your videos I fell like I can take in all the information you shared and be successful in my schooling. I thank you for sharing all your tricks and tips, you could of just kept it for yourself but you were so kind and shared it with us ❤ Thank you🤗
I’ve had a really hard time learning how to study even though I’ve done well in all my classes. This has helped me understand how to approach studying for lectures with difficult material. Thank you so much.
Ogm I feel like a brand new person now I actually understand how to approch histology I was litteraly drowing in tissues
You has just saved my first year
This comment is reaaaaaallly underrated!! Histology and tissues? Clever puns much wow! 😍😍😍😍
Hehe I see what you did there you witty student, you 👀😂
You should definitely try out the Histogram app complete with diagrams, slides, videos and notes. It's there for android but I dunno whether there's an iOS version.
This is literally one of THE best videos I have ever watched on TH-cam in any subject!!! Thank you!
I agree
I definitely agree, do you think you could make a course on how to take notes 📝 or what’s your process of how to break things down with your approach with different example from your experience?
Was actually only here to figure out how to take notes but you just helped me structure my 200+ cardiovascular system slides. I’m a second year Vet student in South Africa preparing for our final exam in November and have stress thinking about my Histo and Physiology notes❤️ Best video ever!!
Thank you ❤ I’m a nursing student.. little over half way and this has a been a journey.. of course we had to to take the a&p classes also but I get lost sometimes but I learned I loveeee mind maps ❤ and the pictures too I also started taking screenshots of pics lol but this brought me some much need comfort
You have a huge potential for being a motivational speaker, because you actually motivated my to do my analytical essay in English which is a very hard accomplishment just so you know ;)
You might as well receive a visual arts degree while studying medicine

people need to remember that taking pretty aesthetic colourful notes is not actually studying, i could read 5 lectures plus additional sources like textbooks within the time it takes me to make colourful notes for 1 lecture, this is just not feasible during medical school where you are bombarded with 5-6 lectures per day.
Im pretty sure he isn't in med school, those are some pretty simple topics he mentioned.
@@MaryamEemaAli-to3kc 100% True, I used to be one of those notetaker people... It doesnt work ... Anki works.
I'm a full-time worker now but I'm enrolling to a Master's degree for 23/24 intake. And you video makes me very excited to go back being student again! Thanks for all the insights - love it!
Wow! This really opened my mind to HOW you can make impactful notes. Im not a studious/school type of person. But I do like creative work and studying those concepts.
Note taking is the exact same creative process by taking the ideas and concepts from multiple sources and placing it into your own THING.
Thanks for really opening my mind to note taking!
I think he is the first one who take about taking note without having an ad about paperlike am I right?
Yes u r 🤣🤣
It’s a shame. This dude definitely deserves the money for this
hi which screen protector do you use?
@@kalidanniii8701 idk my brother bought it for me. I think unless you are an artist you shouldn’t care too much about it. I only using it for notes taking if it works than it works.
@@some1503 I am someone who draws on the iPad (I am not an artist, my art is not great) but I won’t say it’s great. The only effect is the noise which is okay but raindrops and lofi is better.
Watching ppl studying when you have a freaking exam and have to study..
next level of procrastinating
Same I have a midterm tomorrow
Because it gives you a false sense of productivity
Bruh the accuracy

Wow. I was just looking for a note taking app but this is so relatable and so true. This is the same with playing music and singing. Through the many lessons ive taken, ive learned that all of the information is available out there and its as you said: YOU JUST HAVE TO KNOW WHAT TO LOOK FOR - YOU NEED A MAP
You sir are what we refer to as
”GOAT”-ed. Thank you for imparting your knowledge with us and best of luck
Writing down all the questions that came into your mind was genius. I wish I had done that as a University student. Probably would have doubled my learning potential.
I love how you don’t fuss over having ‘aesthetic’ or ‘cute’ penmanship in your study notes like other Study bloggers 👏 Very practical and succinct tips!
"I let my curiosity take over" this sentence was so important for me. thanks for the great video
I have just started my 2nd year in a 3 year course and found my first year a disaster with my note taking, I have just purchased an i pad to have all of my notes in one place to try and be more organised but I did not know where to start, your video has been a HUGE help! thank you so much :)
This was absolutely phenomenal. You are an amazing teacher. Thank you so much; I learned so much from you. Thank you for caring enough about us that you would share what has helped you. Anita, Retired RN
If I had seen this when I was in paramedic school, I would have blasted through it!
Now I’m going back for advanced degrees. This video is incredibly dense with utility. Your humility is also very appreciated.
While on the elliptical, I literally snapped a screenshot of this video and made a new note called “How to Study Study Guide.”
You’re a prince of a man, sir.
I don't know how he managed to make studying and note taking look so bad ass but im living for it
I almost cried over a how to study video wow
Thank goodness, I thought I was alone on that.
jennifer bikopoulos no, you're definitely not alone...I watch his videos whenever school makes me feel like giving up. My Doctorate of Physical Therapy should be sponsored by Samuel haha
This is a life changing video for me, thank you for making a difference - 1 viewer at a time. You have changed my perspective on living and learning.
My friend, thank you very much. I don't really know how to thank you. I don't want to be a drama. But this video made me want to cry. It opened my mind to points that I hadn't seen before. I watched this video a lot and I think I will continue watching.
I’ve been feeling like I just wasn’t smart enough to keep going with my medical degree but your approach is amazing I’m going to give it a go next semester. So thank you
Please update me on how it goes!’
Good luck!
I wish you the best of luck and success on your end journey! Keep pushing and don’t give up!! ❤️
so how it went?
This is my third time here and I’m still like “How does he study again?”
Same!
Did you not take notes? ;)
you should write down the questions you have about this video and then search for answers xD
TH-cam is my lord and savior! I’d like to thank TH-cam for guiding me throughout every step of my life.
Hi, I am so thankful that I found your video today. Actually I was just looking for some tips or hacks for note taking and the differences between goodnotes and notability. But you brought much more light into my chaotic mind than I expected it for this evening.I just startet with my medical lectures in october and sometimes it’s a bit overwhelming….so thank you so much. Also it is really easy to listen to you btw:)
When I first started watching your video, I thought I would simply learn new ways to use my iPad Pro. By the end I was thinking way beyond that. This way of breaking things down and building them up might be a life changing way for me to apply in my job AND in my personal life. I manage digital Product Owners and I am looking for a way to: First & foremost - describe what a PO’s role is within my company; then secondly - describe all the various parts of the PO’s job showing how they interact with other areas/roles within the company. Most (or All) of the people I work with are visual learners. I will challenge myself to apply & adapt what you’ve taught in this video to accomplish that goal. In my personal life I would like to apply this process with my interest in learning/creating art (painting with various media) to help take my skills as an artist to the next level. So excited to have stumbled across your video! Thank you for posting this.
This was incredibly helpful! For years and years I've struggled to scribble notes as fast as I could trying to keep up with slides and then look over them later and try to figure out what they were trying to say and feel like a idiot when I couldn't understand. I hadn't ever considered making my questions such a high priority. Thank you so very much for taking the time to do this. Subbed.
You’re welcome MadDog
here i am thinking that you full drew that heart, but it just a screen shot. work smarter not harder. my notes are never gonna look as beautiful as yours, and im ok with that, but your method of writing down question, during your lectures and then finding the answer to those question after, has helped me so much. you are a god send
Yesssss
Work smarter not harder!!!!
@@mmalik1339 is it weird that i find myself watching this video start to finish over and over again and not get board
@@danielhendricks8278 Ha ha!
It's like a feel good movie that's why!😂😂
This is the most helpful video i needed right i just started a study of psychomotor therapy and movement theory and was struggling to motivate myself to study because i didnt really know how to now i got fresh new methods to try !
growing up, i always took notes in class. i always did well on assessments which equated to all the adults around me calling me smart and gifted. i then got to university without really being told what to expect, and lo and behold, my current method was not working. i tried taking notes on my laptop using Word, basically just copying down what was on the slides, and i thought that was enough, until i got to my assessments and my grade reflected that it definitely was not. im in third year now, my first year with an ipad as my main notetaker, and i can't believe i even made it this far without it. this video also really helped me because i never knew how to put my struggles into words and i feel like you solved them without me even knowing what they were. thanks so much for this.
