    black: evidence supporting, comparing and contrasting what i think

      ★★★I find writing school assignments quite exhausting due to strict deadlines and lots of requirements. I have been using this website called topedgewriters.com to help write my papers and so far my grades are good. They have experts in all academic fields and you guys should check them out too★★★

    It is totally out of the blue, but I just wanted to thank you somehow. I'm in a rough-patch right now and in a total identity crisis. But somehow your videos help me and you kinda make me want to go back to uni as a whole ( also motivates me in writing my own stuff ) ! Just keep doing you, I love what you stand for !!! The no-judgement crew !

    I've recently started using the active recall method (thanks to Ali Abdaal). My major requires a ton of memorization, and when I need to study for a test, I revisit all of my past notes/lecture slides and create questions based off of what information I have. I then go through them and note down which one's I had difficulty with, look at my notes again and repeat until I essentially know my most difficult questions (and the answer to every single one as well). His video on it is amazing and does a much better job at explaining than me :)

    My English teacher actually recommended this technique to us! Since we're freshmen in high school and its our first time ever writing a five page essay he actually told us to do this to minimize the plagiarism and see what we needed to reference and what we could take out!

  • @arcticgem2800
    @arcticgem2800 Рік тому +1

    From Vee's technique and what I've seen online, a good structure would be:
    -Restate main point/topic sentence & Introduce your claim
    -Transition: "according to..."
    -(red) Text evidence/direct quote, cited with author name, date, & page number
    -(puple) What I understand from quote, thoughts & feelings
    -(black) Key points to talk about, connected ideas and arguments, details to back it up
    -Linking sentence that connects back to main topic

    I just wanna thank you so much for this note taking technique because ever since I've started this method, my english grades have been greatly improved! I used to be a C+ student and now after using this method, I've been getting As and A-s which has raised my average grade from a C+ to a B/B+. ALL WITHIN A YEAR!!

    I sincerely want to thank you. I dont have hours to sit down and write a paper but using this I have been able to drastically cut down on what I am needing to do because my paper or essay basically writes itself by the time I sit down to do it. All I have to do is copy and paste, change colors and put in additional contexts. I had been having such a hard time the last few semesters we will see what this does to help my GPA.

  • @renaissancevampire2535
    @renaissancevampire2535 4 роки тому +2

    Now that's a cool working method!! My version of it is classifying every single source I use by colours - as in, I make the text a different colour (or highlight it, by that matter) for every source. This way I'll have all of my notes colour-coded so that I can reference them easily when it comes the time to do so.

    Thanks for the suggestions!
    I tend to like to print out the stuff that is digital (though if I don't then I might just listen to it through the "read aloud" feature on Windows Edge). When I read I usually draw a square around dates, country names (I'm a history student but I'm also studying classical studies). Then for cities and names I circle them. The important stuff, I underline. If it gets really messy then I draw an arrow to the main important part. I also sometimes write on the side of the page what the paragraph was about if I might need it later (like "W. Ger." or "Norway"...). It helps to just buy used books so that you could just get the notes of previous students.
    For notes, when I have time, I use a to-do list (the columns make it easier to skim through) I write out phrases with page numbers beside it. Then if I have time I use highlighters (yellow for important points/thesis, orange for background, pink for definitions of Greek or Latin words, blue is important people and examples).
    In essays for long essays, I tend to highlight each new point(/paragrpah) a new colour relating to the topic so if I write something offtopic I can move it to the OneNote from the GoogleDoc in case I do end up changing my mind.

    Ninthuya Sivarajah/Jack Ganley- Are you really making fun of the way Vee pronounced Sandwich! This is a bright girl who has done incredibly well. She's spending her time sharing tips on revision/essay writing etc And you're here watching the video,presumably because you need those tips and advice but complaining about the way a word is pronounced! Really? She's got into Oxford,one of the best universities in the world. Well done to her! What are you doing that is so remarkable that gives you the right to laugh at someone's accent or way of speaking English! Do you or no one in your family speak with an accent or pronounce words differently? English accents vary throughout UK and all over the world!
