this girl is going places !! mark my words !! such a huge inspo to young individuals !!
i agree w uuuu
One tip came to me as I was doing my readings: research the background of the author. Especially for the readings in social sciences. I feel like the author’s identity provides a rich backdrop to his writing. I also love to find a short video of the author speaking so I can kinda read it in his accent, voice, intonation.
And great tips, Vee, thanks so much for sharing!
crazy enough as an actor this is a great time. I always learn about the playwrights of plays and then listen to the playwrights talk - it helps with the rhythm of the characters.
It shouldn't be a surprise but writers find a way into all of their works.
Oh god that does help! I think that I often understand better when I know the author. I often spend a little extra time reading the preface and about the author section to help myself know the tone and intention of the author. This is crazy.
That's very good advice!
О, Настя, привет :)
what i summarize:
1. black red purple note taking
2. read with purpose
3. print out the reading materials and highlight it with 2 different colors (for what u know, and what u don't)
4. making summary to each paragraph (u can use it to check whether u understand about the topic or not or maybe u need more info about it)
5. table note taking (what do i want to know, what did i learn, what do u remember, what do u think)
6. critical thinking (always ask question while reading?)
I’d love to see essay writing vlogs like the ones you did at Oxford!!! Those were so so fun!
Omg u again😂😂
Who else just loves Vee and her videos? I am just binge-watching them all the way :))))
mee!!!

MEEEEEEE
Vee, you did give a lot of good tips how to do critical reading because I was very poor at it during high school and university. Whenever I did critical readings for my MA in Classical Studies, I read and took notes, but I was very poor at writing it out. I had a lot of difficulty arguing and attacking it. I had the tendency of describing and narrating. I knew how to reference. I understood the rules of quotation and how to do a bibliography. Where I suffered in academics was essay writing. Vee, you are certainly a lot better at me in doing critical reading and writing essays.
VEE! THANK YOU SO MUCH! ❤️
As someone with ADHD, it is SO HARD to focus and retain information. I get distracted VERY easily and I’m very forgetful, and it’s truly SOOO frustrating and stressful!! I’m gonna try out these reading/note taking tips and see how it goes, I really hope I can improve how I learn and retain info!
Perfect video for Jared, 19
You legend 🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂👌🏽
Your black red and purple technique changed my life when I first found out about it! Thank you soooooooooooooooo much, it has helped me A LOT
i love ur videos so much - you are so positive and i love your vibe tyyy!!
haha we’re back to essays related videos i missed this
I’ve been loving all the uploads lately 💕✨
I needed this!!!! I’m starting my first essay in college today and you came through for me. Thanks Vee!
Also, I have to do a huge amount of essays this year so this video is so so perfect!!! :)
Vee, I love the positive energy that you're spreading! I wish we could be friends irl. Your videos are so inspiring!
Vee is just such an amazing and humble girl!!!! Love her videos!!!!
Vee, which class / professor started with the how to read / take notes? 😻 By the way, I used your color coding system for prepping for my first TF class today 👏❤️ So smart, thank you 🙏😁
UPD Got the answer about class / professor later in your video, nevermind, thank you :))
о, здравствуйте (:
OMG THIS IS RECENT AHHH YESS, ive been workibg on my essay and its due in less than 5 days and im still in the noting phase ahhh
Thank you Vee!!
Thank you for all the awesome consistent uploads😭😍
Hi Vee - loved this video! The money shot was the Know-Want-Learn Table. I have never heard of that before! Thank you!
I really needed this x thanks so much!
I love you ate vee ❤️
Thank u for taking the time to share this advices with us!! really helpful, I have an essay about utilitarianism and can't wait to start
This was so helpful, thanks for sharing.
I completely agree. I find reading lots of information at know so hard to understand and I’m also a very slow reader.
GURLLLL, YOU DONT KNOW HOW MUCH I NEEDED THIS. I just started my new university a few weeks ago, and already by week 2 I was crying and stressed as hell because of the reading load. It means SO SO much that you also said how you struggle with being a slow reader and don’t immediately understand the information presented in articles- I am the same and always felt like I was alone in this. Although I’ve never tried to follow reading and note taking strategies that others recommend, I think now is the time that I should try, so thank you for all these tips!
Do you feel like these tips also make you take longer with the reading and notes though? Granted these tips will help one retain the information and be able to generate arguments better for future assignments, do you feel like they are even more so time consuming as before you knew these tips and would spend lots of time rereading or about the same?
Thanks again love☺️
Wishing you the best for your time at Harvard. 💛
You know Vee, you're really inspirational! Coz, I can relate to your taking time in reading to grasp certain critical aspects. But, I can see your passion towards education and your channel has beautifully recorded your journey of hard work and dedication. You deserve the best coz you are the best. Thanks for helping me dream big. Love from India. ❤
Yesss. Love this. I read a lot of scientific papers for my MSc and quite often make ‘summaries’ of individual paragraphs and try to keep it to one line of paper. I find it also helps to read things aloud to yourself. If something is really tricky, I’ll go sentence by sentence and make sure I understand / or break down each one before moving on. Progress via baby steps is still progress! 💕
I feel like you are the motivation I need in my life right now. I don't start online classes until the 28th of September and it's my final year so I have my 10,000 word FYP . So I need to do some research (a lot actually), and have 1,200 words done before classes start. Honestly you are the light that is guiding me to success and I thank you. Love your outfit and videos. They make me want to be a better student
Great video Vee! Can't wait to see more of these they're so helpful! :) really great content, timing is great as I'm prepping for my last year at uni :) (also, from your instagram post, I have to say I am LOVING your bookshelf! Maybe you could do a video on the kinds of books you have there atm? like a bookshelf tour?) take care, keep working hard! :)
Thank u so much, Vee! This is very useful for my literature degree!
Very helpful! Thank you for the tips.
I always like watching your videos!! They push me to do more and better things, so thank you!
Much love from Italy!
I love your advice!!!
Thanks for the tips. I like your colour coding technique - I am going to give it a go and see how I find it.
Very insightful! Shared on my linked in and fb page. Well done Vee!
This is so helpful. I am going to start using these tips. Thanks
Thank you so much for sharing this!
Very useful tips Vee thank you
I am a slow reader too and I end up taking many breaks - procastinating. I'm definitely going to use your tips!
You are amazing. ❤
First! And your videos have helped me greatly, Vee! 🥳🤍
Life saver! Thanks a lot.
Thank you Vee❤
You are so inspiring! 🌟
Vee is so inspirational
I don't know why but I always glow up when I see the notification of the new videos from your channel
Yeah , the summary technique works. It works on the concept of active reading. I've used it for major exams and it works
Thanks veee you just helped mee
youre so fluent
Veeeee, I just love whatch your videos. I found you when I was looking for how to set up my life hahaha
Thank you!! I needed your advice so much and right now I should actually read 166 pages more until my class tomorrow. I wish there was a technique to read faster while remembering everything
I’d be so scared to start university this month if it weren’t for you 🥺 thank you Vee 🥰💕💕
Looks like I am early this time around...love u Vee
thanks for this video...i learned a lot
I will share this with my students!
1:17
6:44 What do I KNOW, what do I WANT to know, what have I Learned, what do I need to REMEMBER/what do you think about the argument, what FURTHER INFORMATION do I need
Sometimes I get the arguments of different people confused when I'm studying them, so I sometimes give them each a voice (from like any random person) in my head and read in that voice to make them much more distinct.
Thanks it was helpful
After reading lots on my computer I switched to an iPad, with bluelightfilter on, that way it was easier on my eyes, and I could take notes and highlight with my Apple pencil
I could honestly relate so much on reading slow, also not understanding. 😆😩
Thanks Vee! This was super helpful as I struggle with reading as well.
Vee I'm so proud of you. May God continue to Bless you with wisdom, knowledge and understanding. Vee Jesus is taking you HIGHER HIGHER HIGHER🙏🏽❤🙏🏽
Love You❤
Wow I needed that i literally stopped studying for my Afrikaans exam because it was just too much.
wow this is informative
Oh my Goodness!!! Can't believe it!! Vee, it's like via telepathy you heard me!! And you brought this video!! Also I am a Political Science Master's student... Loads of LOVE, Vee from INDIA . Will never ever forget this day, YOU CHEERED ME UP ON MY GLOOMY DAY!!
Very helpful:-)
Vee, I dont comment to much, but just an advice is to videos that youre giving tips it may be good to put à summary in the description
Anyways, this video was amazing and as someone in a uni that has a huge focus on research this was veeeery helpful love ya ❤️
Harvard seems like A LOT 😭😭
Me over here going to a community college pepehands
College seems too complicated, rather get a trade and not be in Hella debt
@@Mistyfgdf it is worth it tho.
Mystic Miserly Depends
It’s like saying do you wanna become a mechanic?
Would you rather go to community college for 15k or less (not including free none)
Or you can go to UTI (basically a brand school) for 45k+
4 College ain’t for everyone and it should be more known
COMMUNITY C OMEGALUL LLEGE
Those haters who had their post notifications on😪
Thanks for the help Vee!❤️
Critical thinking video plss vee
"sometimes I fall asleep"😂 relatable.
Can you also make a video about how to write research papers or tips for dissertation 👀👀
Vee: Coming to save the day again! 🦸♀️💛
Me: 👩💻📚🙌😭
I Would love to see a video from you in critical thinking :)
How I wish I had see this before I even encounter my KWL activity 😬
Could you give us your beginner reading list for education philosophy?
Do you have any recommendations for mathematics based readings? Information is incredibly hard to store and understand and quite dense because you don't quite understand unless you "do" it. Your tips have helped me SO MUCH for my law and ethics class NO LIE you're like the sole reason for my excellent grades and looking like I know what I'm talkin about. :P Now I need you help for the mathematics!! :O
Try out blue light lenses
Instead of buying a paper back copy you can always download the e-book and print it out
I wish I spoke that fast or so much as you do in 10 min.
Omg I’m early!!!!!!!!!!! 😱😱😱 ahhhh imagine if Vee saw this comment!!! I would die 😫😫
I hope she sees it ❤
We can all read but not many can Understand properly...& What better tool to Hear Read Write Think Learn by heart Inwardly Digest Speak comprehend Keyword outline function meaning structure than Who What Where When Which Why How...
I’m so confused how did u switch from two different universities from oxford to Harvard?
“We all know how to read”- my dyslexic ass ✌🏻😙✌🏻
I have exams in less than 2 months 💀💀but im so lazy and it's stressing me out😔🤚
Do you find that you are having to change your writing style from UK English to US English?
What is your major?
Another way is just don’t read any books (jk READ your books)
