The student life, what a job it is. We all have so much going on in our lives. Overall a lot of us have a hard time remember everything that our teachers are trying to jam into our heads and after doing a little bit of research this is what i have come up with to help with that problem. So you know how on the news you always hear them talking about how if you get more sleep you will remember more things, well thats part of it.
Everything i have found has probably been heard by us a million times. But for the sake of saying it a million and one time, if you eat, sleep, and excersise right you will do better all around. Your probably thinking to yourselfs, yeah we know, we know. Well its true. So im just going to give you some easy study habits that will help you remember the important things in class.
First off taking notes while listening is a big one. According to Focus of Exceptional Children it says “it must be kept activated to be retained.” So if you keep your brain active while trying to learn the stuff you are more likely to keep it for a longer period of time. So by taking notes, your brain has to focus in on what the teacher is saying, process it, dig through it and find the important stuff, and then translate it into your own words. I would assume after going through all of this your brain would definitely remember the lecture.
Another big studying strategic is flash cards. This is a good way to study because to your brain its like a game and if your brain is thinking its a game you are more likely to stay interested in it and continue to study.
