I've always, since high school, used a method I call Spedding. I stand in front of a photocopier and flip thorugh the book. I photocopy every interesting page - trusting my mind to pick that out. I also look at the notes sections wtih a moment of more scrutiny. Graphs, excess bold words, and such I'm sure play into it. Then I take a break (drive home or coffee shop). THen I go through the pages and cut out what is interesting, and identify pages I did not copy that want to go back to. These I paste into my notebook leaving space to handwrite comments and additional notes. This method got through grad school and has kept me current in areas of interest ever since. Also, I keep all my notes so I go back periodically when a topic pops back up in life.
@@KoiAcademy That's a tough one. It was sort of iterative. IT started with flipping pages and taking notes on pages that caught my eye. I think the first time was a way to overcome procratination - the task was too larg sort of obstacle thinking. Then it evolved quickly to photocopying. On a different path, I was reading something for a class and decided to check the refernces and citations. I found an author that made a citation out fo contect from the original material. That forced me to obsessively check citations, references, and even buy more books to be sure.
I’m preparing to go back to University as a mature student. I’ve been watching your vids so that I can start off on the right foot. I want to go in knowing how to maximise my time and study effectively. I’ll also be working part time each day so I don’t want to burn out. Thanks for these vids 😊
I agree with the priming few things should be kept in mind too: 1. priming should be as long as needed to get the basic idea, just like a warmup before a workout, you should spend 10-15 mins warming up your brain. Even Sherlock Holmes takes a lot of time to prime over the facts to form his theories. But Parkinson's law should be kept in mind too but take your time to prime too so maybe if you are newbie then set a longer time going over stuff. 2. If you cannot find the learning objectives, take the questions in the back of your textbook or somewhere as your objective for learning but in case, you cannot find something(maybe you are learning for lesiure) so just form the connections between the concepts of the past and this new knowledge and try to prove them throughout the chapter.
I'm gonna cry omg I've been procrastinating starting reviewing for a board exam by watching videos on how to study (as one does...) so I already know about priming BUT this video gave me an actionable breakdown of the concept that I actually started priming this one book 😭 thank you!!!!
Definitely a technique I wish someone had taught me years ago. I ended up naturally figuring out this method over time, noticing the benefits as I gradually changed up my study routine over time. I'm glad this video (and your channel) exist now for them younger folks ;) Learning in and of itself is a skill that can be taught! Learning how to learn is a life changer.
@@KoiAcademy It was over a period of years, specifically tied with language learning, though thinking back on it, I've done the same techniques with art/drawing. But I did what I /thought/ was cheating, by looking up translations, summaries, and what-not, prior to looking at the material (or while looking at the material). I definitely had some guilt with it, but I found that by allowing myself to do research, I had an easier time with the material. I don't always do this, as I like to vary my studying techniques to keep my brain challenged and on its toes, which I feel like is important in learning a skill like foreign languages, but for especially difficult materials, I can often reach for resources and English materials to help. (Such as the case right now, where I'm reading The Tale of Genji in Japanese, a newer translated edition for kids/teens, but it's like reading Shakespeare. I'm struggling, haha. Doing research is what's helping me get through this book and get more out of it than I would've otherwise.) At the very minimum, understanding a summary of what you're going into (book, movie, TV show) can add a LOT in terms of understanding, vs going in blind. But both can be valuable learning methods, you get different stuff out of each. I try to find a balance :)
So to sum up: i establish the main learning objectives, i explore the material for 10 minutes looking for answers to those questions, and when time's up, i draw a map of the key concepts is that right? Then i can reread the material in depth using the tree note taking technique
One thing I've found over the decades of looking for new learning techniques is that most of what's out there are stating the same thing but renaming the technques with made up words and terms . I guess it's to disguise those doing the Preread or "Priming" to read further or buy the book after a casual scan only to find there's nothing new present during the actual reading phase. Answer In Progress's Sabrina came to the same conclusion. Don't keep searching for the magic bullet only to find someone else giving you the same answers in a differrent package. One excetion was Professor Kaplan's excellent note taking videos. A must see for taking notes in class and text books.
I understand you, I am a medical student (Bolivia) who studies at a private university, therefore I cannot afford luxuries like iPads or have all the time in the world to apply various study methods and systems, my reality is different from that of those youtubers, I have been following these types of channels for years and well, it is more of the same as you say, I feel that they make it more complicated than it really is, it seems that the education business is oversaturated in such a way that they sell you their ideas with different names, Thank you very much for recommending certain TH-cam channels that reflect a little on these study methods because as I told you I have become addicted to those videos, I can't stop watching them, and therefore I waste my time and I don't study any of the study material that I have until the exams arrive, really thank you very much for opening my eyes since I also talked about it with my psychologist
Was practically failing at studying but after watching you guys, I have been breezing through it. Thanks for making me love studying again!! 😊 And this priming technique actually works really well for me. Tried it for my theory subjects and now I am scoring better then before!
It is a pretty amazing technique to learn . I tried this with Elasticity and I learned it easily then before. But most of the people watching these videos have to go for more complex topics than acceleration and velocity. So I would like to suggest giving examples of topics like electricity and magnetism so that it would be easier to apply on other topics. Thank you!
Love your content! Thank you so much! It's really helped me prepare for my tests and approach studying in a powerful and effective way! Any tips that can help specifically for the GAMSAT?
Any similarities that you find between the concepts (either between the new information you are learning and the old information from previous sessions or between concepts learned during multiple sessions on the same day) Maybe they belong to the same category? They have a similar function? Similarish or opposing definitions etc.
Whatever methods you said after putting a timer of 10 mins those methods need to be done under the timer of 10 minutes? And after doing that do I need to repeat these sessions til I get every material right? Also what about topic where you need to memorize some information? Do we need to memorize or just do these sessions till you can remember everything?
Priming is when you have to go through your entire chapter (or if its a lot, a certain number of topics) in 10 mins. The objective is to get the big picture overview. That means, you aren't revising anything nor memorizing, you are simply gaining a superficial idea of what you are learning about based on the learning objectives of the topic. Deep dive is what you do after (the first and second levels of studying) priming. That's when you memorize, take detailed notes, read all the lines and phrases thoroughly.
Brother can you make a video on how to Mugup things easily and keep it in memory till exam. Please I just want to pass my regional language exams. After exam I will eventually drop those subjects.
@@Lucaskumar-b4d when it comes language, especially if its a language you dont normally use Then the best advice i can give you is past papers Analyse the past papers and do each past paper more than 7 times , ull start to notice a pattern. I dont know how it works in your country but we have MCQs and a Part 02 for writing. I focused on MCQs cos they gave me the most marks and my grammar was very bad so i had very little chance to get marks in writing. I practiced 6 years worth of past papers more than 10 times. And guess what, i went from a simple pass to a whole B. If you dont have time, then id suggest doing atleast 3 times. If you really want it , you will push through All the very bestt:)))
Can you guys suggest on how to attempt more numericals in short period of times after learning a new topic It takes me literally an hour to revise my physics notes and numericals (15 qs) of each lecture

You can also ask AI to create important topics or learning objectives for the topic in case you don't find any of the above!

one suggestion I would Like to do is explain the steps with examples
What's the tool you were using to demonstrate "Force, acceleration and mass"?
Great video, I'm curiosity hw can we apply this concept to videos that don't necessarily have PowerPoints or agendas?
I would start exercising and reading books I've been wanting to read for a long time!
Wait I am getting confused. Should I set the timer after learning the key objectives or before
Can you please define what constitues a conceptual link/connections/relationships between information? I appreciate the tips in this video
