A big issue I face when studying is retaining information. It isn't worthwhile to study if you aren't getting anything out of it, so by using these methods you can make studying more helpful. One way he mentions to make is easier is called "spaced repetition" and this means scheduling set amounts of time to study and take a break. Thomas Frank says that this method has been proven to work because the time allows for connections to form in your brain with what you've learned. Another method I might try is his suggestion of using apps to help study. Ones like Quizlet and Tiny Cards could help me memorize topics for German, and they make it more interactive and easy to remember.]]> 2019-09-08 14:12:48 UTC https://padlet.com/skylar_simmons2/qxito9ycvfsd/wish/381309105 skylar_simmons2 https://padlet.com/skylar_simmons2/qxito9ycvfsd/wish/381309730 This video relates to the topic of study skills because it has 13 tips. I particularly liked this information because it was presented with the scientific reasons why the methods are helpful. When I'm researching hacks and tricks to help me, It is sometimes hard to know if what you see is true or just made up. Because these are backed with science, they are more credible to me and therefore I am more likely to try them out. One tip that really appealed to me was the "quiz and recall" method where you study, create your own quizzes, and quiz yourself. Thinking of what test questions might look like is a good strategy to be prepared.]]> 2019-09-08 14:18:59 UTC https://padlet.com/skylar_simmons2/qxito9ycvfsd/wish/381309730 skylar_simmons2 https://padlet.com/skylar_simmons2/qxito9ycvfsd/wish/381310355 This video is about something called the "Major Memory System". It was explained/invented by a mathematician who used it to remember long strings of numbers even if he only looked at them once. The way it works is by matching each letter up to a consonant sound so that it isn't just a number. Then you take those sounds and make a sentence out of them. It would definitely take a long time to get good enough at it to do it quickly, but It seems like something worthwhile to try. According to the video, you don't even have to think about the matching up to consonant sounds after a while, and just skip straight to reading the numbers and forming a sentence. It would be great to be able to remember numbers and formulas for math this way when I need to know them for a test, so I might try it next time.]]> 2019-09-08 14:24:58 UTC https://padlet.com/skylar_simmons2/qxito9ycvfsd/wish/381310355 skylar_simmons2 https://padlet.com/skylar_simmons2/qxito9ycvfsd/wish/381311179 This article describes some good apps that can help with studying. This would make it easier to study wherever I am without needing all my notes and textbooks. My favorite on this list is StudyBlue, because it lets everyone upload study materials.]]> 2019-09-08 14:32:04 UTC https://padlet.com/skylar_simmons2/qxito9ycvfsd/wish/381311179 skylar_simmons2 https://padlet.com/skylar_simmons2/qxito9ycvfsd/wish/381311473 This article relates to my topic of study skills because it is describing good ways to learn. It describes what people had previously thought about how learning takes place regarding the brain, as well as what we know now. The article also shares some methods that are newer and more likely to work for retaining information. ]]> 2019-09-08 14:34:50 UTC https://padlet.com/skylar_simmons2/qxito9ycvfsd/wish/381311473
