Hey! Can you explain what you mean by note-making vs note-taking and how that process looks like for you? Note-taking is too time consuming for me especially since I used to prefer hand-written notes because "it helps with my understanding". Thanks!
@@sereenarc note making is to write notes based on your understanding of a certain topic. You don’t copy everything the teacher says or on the PowerPoint. You can learn more about Building a Second Brain by Tiago forte or google note-taking va note-making
Congratulations 🎉for you You almost finished I have been following you for a long time. I am also a medical student in Egypt in my second year. I have benefited from you very much. Thank you and I have benefited from your techniques very much
Thank you for your experience. I had it because Egypt’s study system is a little different and more practical..You cannot take too many notes. They require concentration and memorization
@@HSTVoffcialThose summary notes look really good👏, would definitely recommend you sharing them because it would help other medical students. I would definitely download and use them if you make them available🥺. Love this idea definitely will put those points to use🙏
Gaining knowledge and expertise is a continuous journey. We experiment, test, and develop strategies that suit us at each stage. As we progress, we evolve and adopt new strategies to enhance our learning.
I used to prefer taking hand written notes because it helps with understanding information, but it's too time consuming and as you mentioned not worth it in medical school. When learning new content, what do you recommend instead?
Yes I totally agree with you! I now focus on question banks- passmed, flashcards- anki, and making the occasional summary note for topics that have info dispersed everywhere. For the most part passmed's high yield textbook is a good database.
I have not tried obsidian, and to be honest with you I mostly use Notion nowadays as a planner rather than for note taking. I mostly just make mind maps on paper or summary tables on Microsoft Word. The rest of my revision is doing questions, I feel it is most effective.
@@HSTVoffcial i comment about obsidian because the link system and the possibility of install plugins (add-ons) like excalidraw, or Ink, which simply allows this modularity between typing, making simpler tables, mind maps or handwriting (depending on the device you are using), but anyway, your perspective is very interesting, mainly about this change, of using a form a lot and then having to look for mechanisms to optimize it in some way.
Tricky question! It depends so much on the material you need to cover, the time duration you have, and your learning style. Generally I'd say active recall is the way to go. Use question banks, flashcards, and make summary mind maps to regurgitate info. I think we all change our methods over time, so you just have to try something new and see what works for you! For me it was very scary to stop taking notes in semester 2 but I'm so glad I took that risk, really paid off for me:)
I stopped note-taking and started note-making. I love your authenticity. Keep it up!
Haha I love that! Thanks a lot for watching!🙏😁

@@HSTVoffcialI am a first year student what part of passmed should I use for Edinburgh? Which is relevant
about links between knowledge, do you try obsidian or just notion?

About pass medicine, which resource did you use? The Year 1 to 3 or the medical student finals / UKMLA?
Finals/UKMLA
Keep asking how or what is the way to remember everything because there is a lot of information؟😢
