Golden Road to Knowledge [yeah!]

You know how to take notes… so I would recommend looking them over once in a while as opposed to stashing them away and never setting sight on them ever again! The whole purpose of taking notes in class is so you have a reference to look back to. A good technique to engraining your brain with information that you may have heard already in class before, is to look over these notes and actually learn them.

 Here’s something that works wonders…

-Read your notes before you get to class… you don’t have to be memorizing them or anything but simply read over them and get a feel for what the lecture was about.

-After class, review your new notes, and it helps go back to your old ones too… if you want.
*I’ve heard it helps to read notes before you go to sleep… true? Not sure, but I guess it beats the common myth of sleeping on your books.

-Not too crazy right? C’mon… it really doesn’t take up that much time to read over a couple of pages of notes, it helps when you’re actually in class and you remember reviewing what the proffessor is talking about. Whoohoo! Honestly, it just makes your brain feel better.

Before you know it, exam time will come and you’ll really be studying… you know… the kind where you read and read and read over things but the pressure of the exam is just too much to handle and you try to memorize and remember things and this and that and you end up daydreaming… blahh blah blah. Save yourself from this. Please. Just read over the notes man, that’s it! And as you’re doing it all throughout the semester, it won’t feel like studying because it’s not studying and because all you’re doing is reading over them. That’s all I have to say about that, and it’s even less stressful than reading this blog.
