this is just his 5th video hes doing great and hes growing so fast! i literally found his channel 5 days ago and he has doubled his following, im amazed!
I am 70 years old. I too enjoyed learning at University. I wish I had, had the tools you have today. I too have an inquiring approach to learning. Thank you for showing me how I can use the latest tools at hand to enrich my golden years. You can, and did, teach an old dog new tricks.
Why is this person making me feel blissful and ecstatic.? The voice? His genuine intent to help others being communicated unconsciously and non verbally? Idk. I just know it's a pleasure to watch his videos. Also, wonderful video BTW.
Exactly this is my though this young lad have something...I cant name it but his videos are just so ease to watch even if I already know a lot about learning...his way of talking made me watch the entire video....
Well according to the above comment, you shouldn't feel guilty. Apparently, it my be an astroturf marketing campaign. Even if it is, as I have no proof, it is freaking amazing. I think I just learned something...what did I learn? How do I connect the dots? what are dots? why am I asking so many questions? lol
OMG!!! I am someone who has been going through massive amounts of YT videos on how to study... But THIS is the ONE that made sense and is doable without wasting time on creating / inventing ways to study!!!
why is this guy acting like we only have to learn 4th grade biology in college and medicine, my gastrointestional systems lecture 1 first slide has more information than this. These people really know how to talk the talk, but they know really well making colourful preschool notes would not work in college and university. just tricking people for views
Everything is so on point. Music, transitions, video quality, structure, editing, speech and the near-perfect manner of conveying the importance of the steps it took to learn things. This looks like a freaking movie.

Throughout my highschool learning, I've struggled with the material given. I thought at first that I was the issue, I was stupid and dumb. However, that wasn't true. The real issue was in HOW I learned and understood what was being taught. The way my books explained the material to me, wasn't in a way that I understood it because they taught different than how I learn. Since discovering this, I've made it a personal mission to seek out and understand how I learn. This video, after many many hours of watching others, has given me the answer to my question. Thank you for sharing this vital information with us. Thank you for doing your best in explaining it all. I've gained so much from this and I believe I will again be able to look as studying with great enthusiasm as I once did. 💜
This guy has in incredible mind. Not just for what he's accomplishing at University, but the style and editing of these videos. This one video on notetaking had some kind of mental breakthrough with me. Like it unlocked a treasure chest within me of all these incredible tools and ideas that i didn't have 5 minutes ago, to now to go be way more productive and take notes that I can actually use to help study *effectively!* . From a random stranger on the internet, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. (Yes, i know, it sounds like im being "extra", but i don't care) this is amazing stuff. Thank you.
dav vad I mean, it really is, more so than chemistry if anything. This is coming from someone who has degrees in chemistry, chemical engineering, and biology.
The amount of time spent to make each video is amazing! The “cinematics” and b-roll, transitions into each topic, the ability to write your notes on the video from the iPad Pro, and having a more simplistic way of describing to your viewers how you work and function is incredible! I really enjoy the style of the videos and how you approach things as they are very similar to mine when I learn! Thank you so much for the video! 😊
my big secret.. I sleep 8h. After that I can remember the whole day in almost picture perfect detail. With less than 8h sleep. I can't even remember how old I am.. After working 1y at the place i got a job at after school, they made me a partner. So seriously, sleep and make sure you read up on things you know will come up that week.
@Will Jones damn. Be careful. Dont turn out like me. I got bad case of insomnia. And it seems to be related to work. I can sleep on weekends. But tend to stay awake 3 days at a time during work days. I cant handle a single ounce of stress anymore. Dont know how this happened. Its gone so far that i associate my bed and room with no sleep so I get all worried from just going to bed now. I start sweating from just closing my eyes in bed. I cant control it, thats the weirdest part. Its like my body has a mind of its own.. So make sure you get sleep. Some things are just not worth messing up.
@@Nitodvd I did but I've been waiting to get an appointment at a sleep clinic for a year now. Swedens health system has collapsed.. Btw, I managed to sort out my sleeping problem it seems. Since I lost my marbles not sleeping, I decided to go Vegan. Ive been vegan for 3 weeks now and I sleep amazingly. Im guessing its either because somethings wrong with the meat here. or since I'm measuring my caloric intake, I always stay 1000 kcals under what I spend on day. So I'm loosing belly fat and sleeping extremely well with no excess energy. Im even crushing my personal records at the gym. its insane.
Actually memorization masters use this technique to store things to long term memory: The use places on the body or a physical location around them, imagine an image that relates to the thing they're trying to remember, and tie an emotion to it. Like how Samuel creates visuals (image), places them in a location (follows mouth > stomach > small intestine), and then ties an emotion to it (curiosity - asking questions). Really perfect way to describe it - this is exactly how Children learn! Wonderful video, and great editing too! Thank you
Finally! Someone who can clearly explain an effective way to learn. These are such useful tips that everybody should be using. Looking forward to this series!
It’s my first year of college and I’ve been struggling trying to memorize information. This was honestly the most inspirational thing I’ve seen all semester. Thank you. This technique actually saved me.
such perfect timing for this vid to have come out. started my second year of university last week and I'm trying to really be on top of everything. thank you so much 💖
I found your channel today an an attempt l to learn how to learn/study with dyslexia. I am at age of 48(in a couple of weeks)...Learnt a few languages by movies/other ways (not in school or traditional method) without knowing that i have dyslexia (only discovered last 10yrs). Your are truly inspirational and spell out so many things in life that i learnt with entire my life with trauma and pains (and How old are you????). All this morning, i am going through your videos and i am crying thanks so much sharing your learnings and keep learning and sharing (is caring). You are a super star....... You will be something great beyond your imagination. I wish all the best for your life. RESPECT and Gratitude. Sending you virtual hug.
I'm going to adopt this learning style because everything I've tried before hasn't worked for me. I always manage to forget some of the most important things and remember absolute garbage. Maybe I might just have to transition from paper to iPad, or something of the sort. Ultimately, these types of videos you've created have actually opened my eyes to how others study and actually retain information. I appreciate the time and effort you put into these videos, they truly help me
Thank you Samuel! I am an adult learner, who never thought I'd see myself going to university at 54 years old, yet here I am. It's a 100% online environment I'm struggling like crazy in my first semester and THIS video has totally given support to something that I have known and applied to my teaching since forever: the importance of the question! Your energy and wisdom is greatly appreciated and when I have more time (who knows when!) I am definitely going to watch more of your videos. For now I have subscribed and will be following! Best wishes on your life journey!
REMEMBER : FALL IN LOVE WITH LEARNING, SMILE WHEN YOU'RE STUDYIN'.... really helps me connects the dots y'know.... I have accepted the fact that I'm here to learn, not just to get A*. The exams are ways of proving that you DO understand the concept. LOVED the video Sam bhaiya! The world needs more people with your mindset, I TRULY appreciate what you're doing !
School made me hate studying which is so sad. I was such a curious child and wanted to learn everything. Now in my 3rd semester of university my hate for studying really bites me in the...... I've been trying to fall in love with learning again 😊 Can you share how you did it?
the metaphor at the end with learning and the digestive system just amazes me. This man is a genius. I had a gap year after I graduated from High school and this video just made me so so so motivated to study again and be productive. Especially after COVID! Thank you, Samuel, I owe you
I just found your channel and im wowed, I'm came looking for a kind of tutorial for a paperless life and now I feel you changed my life. You're very motivational!! Thank you
**What's on my mind:** It feels like somewhere in my mind I knew about this questioning approach but never paid attention to it and stuck with cramming anyway. #Feedback: Samuel can you please elaborate more on the questioning procedure and break it down in parts like Part A:Reading Approach (Breaking down concepts) Part B: Question framing Part C: Answering (Creating the frame work) Thanks is not enough for your work but still that's all I can think of right now. Cheers have a great day
Love this. I was in the same situation when I first started nursing school. I adopted a study method like this only on my fourth semester and thank goodness i was able to catch up to my courses simply by breaking down complex subjects into questions and answering them. My understanding skyrocketed !
this made me smile.being a dermatologist i have associated emotions with each patient i deal with.not only did it help me with my bedside manners but the topic got imprinted into my brain. i hope you work on this too as you journey into being an extraordinary human being.
I think Albert Einstein said “If you can’t explain it to a six year old, you don’t understand it yourself.” I think that speaks volumes. Breaking things down to its basic parts and understanding it by simplicity is what I feel many college professors lack. I love this amazing content you are making!
This is by far the best one on UA-cam. I entered A&P going off of a few of these “how to study for A&P” videos using their strategies and while some have worked for me, asking myself and teacher questions have made the difference between simply memorizing and knowing the material. And it doesn’t stop there. For every tiny ion that I know the function of, I get 10 more questions. Knowing how one muscle contracts, I have a thousand more questions. I started a list of questions about certain aspects of the body that we haven’t even begun yet. I am that excited about learning and actually knowing how our bodies function. AWESOME video!!
Really really thank you. I'm (or I was at least) totally lost in studying. Just like you said: I was trying to follow a recipe. But now: you're doing exactly what I was doing when I was lost. I asked questions. And I'm so thankful that you made this video. It gives me some hope - that it'll be ok in the end. Thanks. Many many thanks.
Thank you, Samuel, for this vlog. I am a retired teacher with a 14 years old daughter studying in Australia. Until May 2019 she was homeschooled by me in Philippines but the state system here has different ideas about how to screw up a child's education. She goes to the local school each day and we debrief in the afternoon. She then continues her learning into the evening. She understands that the time she spends attending the brick and mortar school is almost useless. She is much further advanced than her peers in mathematics, English, History, philosophy and psychology. The school is unable to provide her with resources so she continues to learn Russian at home. She has no option to study history in Year 9... I could go on, but you get the point. School is a place she must attend to satisfy the legal requirements but it is not a place of learning excellence for her. It may work for some but for my girl it deflects her from a more practical path. I enjoyed and appreciated your vlog because you have provided a direct way I can show her to make notes. I will encourage her to follow your lead and continue to break the subjects down by asking questions before building them up again with note taking.
Binge watched all your videos and you've inspired me to make a text book out of my lecture notes! Also, you're serious professor material, you've got a talent for breaking things down and making them interesting
I graduated university almost 10 years ago now, but learning never stops. I continue to find new things to learn about and I do it happily because I actually made the choice to learn about these subjects. I study languages, different philosophies, and just about anything I take an interest in.
i really agree with this! honestly, with such subjects required for “memorization” it was at first tedious. however, i learned a way of studying myself: asking questions and organize my notes in a specific way so i break the topic down. then, everything clicked and the facts were like common sense to me. you explained it so beautifully and couldn’t have said better myself! it really made me think deeper into ways of studying! thank you!
I tried taking anatomy but I ended up dropping it because it’s so much info being crammed down every day. I think this method would help though because it’s attaching the things you learn with a question that originated from your own mind.
I struggled with my first biology class. I never knew how to study. I would try and memorize everything. I failed and had to retake courses and it was very disappointing. I then realize that I have to understand the concept rather than memorizing. I am currently still trying to find my path on how to learn but your video is inspiring to me. It expands my knowledge on how to actually learn a topic. Thank you 🙏🏻
Try to understand what learning is and how the human brain works correlated to learning. Learn about working memory, long therm memory and how to transfer info between them.
This is such an interesting way to learn. Honestly, I too, don't like mindless mugging up of things. Learning how to learn has always been on my mind. I experimented with the different techniques and now I think I need to try this out. Amazing video, the quality and content are amazing as always. Thank you for making such a mindful and informative video!
Bro really...... I have the same feeling... When I just draw my imagination I remember that thing for my whole life........ when ever I draw I get that thing in mind.. And during exam or test I just have a memory of that drawing.. Or diagrams those colour full notes that I stick to my book.... I just remember that it's that question that I have written in that green sticky note..... That MCQ is the one that I highlighted with Pink highlighter... That feeling is amazing ...and helped alot me specially when I have not enough time for some subjects to make notes... Your way of explaining is very well.. Plz continue it... And help people like to get ideas like this.... *I do not have an iPad.....I have tablet .. Can you suggest any app for andriod users.. To take perfect notes*
Have you heard of "Zettelkasten"? It's a note-taking method that helps build a mental network graph of information by separating collection, thinking, and structuring. I've been exploring the technique with Notion and org-roam but many tools exist. What I've been enjoying is that it always feels organic, so it never feels like a struggle to keep adding to it. For instance, I created a reference note that points to this video, some fleeting notes on a single page while watching this video, then later I break that info into separate permanent notes in complete sentences that can be understood on their own. Maybe then it inspires new connections to previous ideas, like say my notes on learning the Zettelkasten technique which inspires more ideas which I collect into more notes. Now I've got a broader network of ideas with some unique connections between your video and my previous ideas on other learning approaches. Having used it for the past month it seems like a great way to organize knowledge over time but there does seem to be a visual component missing. I think there's a sweet spot combining a zettelkasten with your approach, as I like to think in questions as well, but I'm not sure what that would look like yet.
completely mind-boggling. kudos to you man. words were so well put. I didn't have to repeat the video to understand anything better. you can make a great educator.
@@rajesh844 Good to know we think alike. It is very amazing to see a Sr. Citizen watching videos on how to learn. Wishing you all the best and longevity in memory.
Thank you Samuel, Love your videos!! I also experienced similar things at uni, spent so many time just blandly following what others' did for study and memorizing all the notes and lecture materials I have. It doesn't help me learn, only made me less and less motivated with study. But EVERYTHING CHANGED once I started to break down every topic, using different learning tools for different type of subjects. It really is a magical experience!!
Question: How much time do you spend creating notes outside of class? How do you have the time to do this? I'm taking 16 credit hours as a freshman however never found the time to implement this study habit.
My question exactly, it seems so time consuming. Especially since in school college or med school you're flooded with new content that you have to master learning in a small amount of time.
Yin-Lung Wong stop playing fortnite, and minecraft. Turn your phone off and become better disciplined. Not to brag but I take 18 every semester. I’m a Junior and I’m able to handle it with following those rules. Try to have atleast an HOUR of studying after your classes. It helps a lot.
Brian Gutierrez Don’t be rude, he’s asking a simple question. There are other things that effect someone’s life and time other than just school and the amount of credits you’d take.
This is the greatest video ever! So educational and such a necessity for a teacher. You seem like you're going to be a doctor or something but this concept of asking questions and breaking things down is the greatest quality of a teacher :) We all learn like little children and when adults try to sound smart they use these complex words and throw having degrees in their normal speech but it just makes them incomprehensible and the reaction of people is, "I don't know what they are talking about so they must be smart and I'm dumb, oh well." But the mark of a true teacher and learner is simplicity, which I've tried to use with my students. Even though I'm a music teacher this info in your video is relevant to my subject too and I've already started making notes like you for the students... They're loving it :P YOU'RE THE BEST!!!
I am amazed!! I've just finished my first year of uni and did the exact same thing, watching UA-cam videos on how to study; This is the only video/UA-camr who ACTUALLY understands and studies like me and my brain! Amazed! Thought I was the only one who thought like this, this is what I have been waiting for my entire education! Thank you so much for all the amazing advice, can't wait for more content!!!
Hello, I am a nurse and I am doing the specialty in the operating room and I love the way you explain and I am following your method and it makes it easier for me to learn from myself thanks
I've always had questions throughout the entire lecture in classes, and when I started questions, Lecturers just cut me out and tell "you ask so many questions, it is common sense". from that day onwards I had lost my complete interest in studies... but when I saw this video it gave me a boost on how to study and learn (well without the help of lectures) I am so happy to find this in my recommendation. literally, thank you for uploading this video. 12th class I kind of hectic, lecturers put pressure in mugging up the answers. they're few members of my type who doesn't like this type of learning. if I didn't find this video 3 months before my exams it would have been a complete disaster to pass out. greetings from India
Hi Suresh. I became a born again Christian about 3 years ago. Sometime last year, God asked me to note down the areas that I was having the most difficulty with in my christian walk. One of my top areas of difficulty was Studying The Bible. So that day, I put it down as something I needed help with and left it with God. Then sometime later in the year, I stumbled across this UA-cam post by you. By the time I got to the end of it, I knew that this was God answering my prayer. Prior to listening to this, I hardly read my bible, because I didn't have a process for it. Your video solved a massive part of that problem, and God led me to it. Thank you.
I wish I had watched this video before my studies finished. The method is derived from the most natural way of how the human brain operates. The element of curiosity and visualising is the key to study. I was never taught this way and do not think anyone has, it should be taught in schools as the 'Samuel technique of learning'. The only person I know who has found and conqured the perfect way of learning. Brilliant video.
I don’t know how I found you here. I’m just so grateful that I did. Thank you for sharing your thoughts to the best of your ability. You are a blessing.
Thank you for teaching me to write questions down as I am studying. I am forever getting 'stuck' when I study because my understanding doesn't feel complete. I get stuck in the details, everything grinds to a halt - it's exhausting. But writing questions down as they come up has become such an important tool for me to keep moving forwards. Learning is branched and often circles back on itself, but the overall direction is forwards. Thank you, Samuel :)
This appeared in my recommended just when I needed it. This semester I’ve been doing horrible even though I’ve spent hours and hours doing practice exercises for Org Chem or reading for hours for Biology. I will try this method and see how it will go. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!
He could easily create visually-easy books/textbooks for people and have a demand for it. Definitely he’s got a gift for bringing ideas/data/information into visuals. I’m sold-subscribed.
You've made a great video about learning. I wouldn't be discouraged by comments or sub numbers, but instead focus on producing more of these videos. Because that are extremely high quality and deeply foundational. Keep it up Samuel. You have my sub. Congrats!
Kudos to you. This is sooo goood. I feel like I’ve been converted to another way of thinking. It makes so much sense. I’m going to see if it works for me.
I'm not someone who leaves comments on youtube, but I feel I must let you know how you made me realise (or rather remember) that the essence of learning lies in asking questions and how, as we grow, we tend to be less inquisitive. So, thank you. Also, I'm sure almost everyone here would agree that you have a knack at teaching. I'll make sure that I watch your videos and put your words into practice. :) Stay healthy and happy. Love, V.
honestly I've been using my dad's old samsung galaxy tablets that come with the s pen and it gets the job done. Probably not as smooth and with limited functionalities (eg. lack of lasso tool) and stuff but for simple notes it gets the job done. Another alternative is to go for microsoft surface pros or google chrome pixel, plenty of microsoft tablet-laptop hybrid thingies on the market that does this just as well. You can find second hand version of these gadgets online too, that might be slightly cheaper. Hope that helps.
@@appletree4433 I never said touch screen laptop... I meant a normal laptop or desktop PC and connect a Graphic Pen Tablet and take notes using OneNote... The experience is just awesome... Palm rejection and pressure sensitivity is built in such cheap devices and also the software need to support.... It is just awesome
I'm going to start my second year in University and the first one was not too bad, I actually got good grades, but I don't feel that I'm learning. And like you did, I have seen different videos trying to find the formula, but now just with this video I discovered that there is no any "perfect recipe", that like a small child I have to understand a complex concept with the correct questions and connect them with something that can help me (I'm a visual person, so notes with diagrams and images should work for me). Thank you so much! you inspire me to change to stop memorizing and start learning.
This channel is so high quality why does he not have like a million subs
May be startup
because this is a newly built channel
Same sentiment here! But I can see it happening sooner than we think!
It will blow up sooner or later
this is just his 5th video hes doing great and hes growing so fast! i literally found his channel 5 days ago and he has doubled his following, im amazed!

I think it's your own credit. Sure he teaches well but you are a fast learner and very eager to learn 🤗
Jesus I don’t even study and he literally have a 360 degree change on how and why I should study. I’m sold thanks for the TED talk
360 degrees change means you returned to the same point you were before watching the video. You probably meant 180 degrees :)

The amount of time spent to make each video is amazing! The “cinematics” and b-roll, transitions into each topic, the ability to write your notes on the video from the iPad Pro, and having a more simplistic way of describing to your viewers how you work and function is incredible!

RocketLR I hope you’re doing better💖💖💖 bless you and remember: work to live and don’t live to work 😉😉 Bless you!
RocketLR you should see a professional!!
@@Nitodvd I did but I've been waiting to get an appointment at a sleep clinic for a year now. Swedens health system has collapsed..
Btw, I managed to sort out my sleeping problem it seems. Since I lost my marbles not sleeping, I decided to go Vegan. Ive been vegan for 3 weeks now and I sleep amazingly.
Im guessing its either because somethings wrong with the meat here. or since I'm measuring my caloric intake, I always stay 1000 kcals under what I spend on day. So I'm loosing belly fat and sleeping extremely well with no excess energy.
Im even crushing my personal records at the gym. its insane.
RocketLR that’s awesome man I’m glad you’re doing better! Keep putting in effort to your health :)
Actually memorization masters use this technique to store things to long term memory: The use places on the body or a physical location around them, imagine an image that relates to the thing they're trying to remember, and tie an emotion to it. Like how Samuel creates visuals (image), places them in a location (follows mouth > stomach > small intestine), and then ties an emotion to it (curiosity - asking questions). Really perfect way to describe it - this is exactly how Children learn! Wonderful video, and great editing too! Thank you
What I love about Samuel is that he goes straight to the point and DELIVERS what he promised
Finally! Someone who can clearly explain an effective way to learn. These are such useful tips that everybody should be using. Looking forward to this series!
Yo Sam, thank you! Finally at 28 years old, you have taught me how to learn 😁🙏
Came for an iPad review, stayed for the amazing content. Great job Smauel!
Has he an 11" or 13.9" ipad?
let’s appreciate the fact that he wrote lines on the mitochondria for a video😂
So true 😂😂
Haha .. Hard Work
It’s my first year of college and I’ve been struggling trying to memorize information. This was honestly the most inspirational thing I’ve seen all semester. Thank you. This technique actually saved me.
The real question is
Will you ever share a PDF of your notes
yes ...or may be his notebook for purchasing.
One copy for me too please
i want a copy even thought i am Marketing specialist but i like to learn any knowledge because we consider the knowledge is a light
He he. Thanks for laughs
@@abhilashds7138 Then you need a lot more than a flashlight
such perfect timing for this vid to have come out. started my second year of university last week and I'm trying to really be on top of everything.
thank you so much 💖
I found your channel today an an attempt l to learn how to learn/study with dyslexia. I am at age of 48(in a couple of weeks)...Learnt a few languages by movies/other ways (not in school or traditional method) without knowing that i have dyslexia (only discovered last 10yrs). Your are truly inspirational and spell out so many things in life that i learnt with entire my life with trauma and pains (and How old are you????). All this morning, i am going through your videos and i am crying thanks so much sharing your learnings and keep learning and sharing (is caring). You are a super star....... You will be something great beyond your imagination. I wish all the best for your life. RESPECT and Gratitude. Sending you virtual hug.
I'm going to adopt this learning style because everything I've tried before hasn't worked for me. I always manage to forget some of the most important things and remember absolute garbage. Maybe I might just have to transition from paper to iPad, or something of the sort. Ultimately, these types of videos you've created have actually opened my eyes to how others study and actually retain information. I appreciate the time and effort you put into these videos, they truly help me
Thank you Samuel! I am an adult learner, who never thought I'd see myself going to university at 54 years old, yet here I am. It's a 100% online environment I'm struggling like crazy in my first semester and THIS video has totally given support to something that I have known and applied to my teaching since forever: the importance of the question! Your energy and wisdom is greatly appreciated and when I have more time (who knows when!) I am definitely going to watch more of your videos. For now I have subscribed and will be following! Best wishes on your life journey!
""The secret to learning is taking something complex and then breaking it down and forming questions out of it""
I have honestly never felt so inspired to learn and genuinely take notes in my entire time at university 🤭
I'm not even doing Uni and I'm inspired to study! :)
REMEMBER : FALL IN LOVE WITH LEARNING, SMILE WHEN YOU'RE STUDYIN'.... really helps me connects the dots y'know.... I have accepted the fact that I'm here to learn, not just to get A*. The exams are ways of proving that you DO understand the concept. LOVED the video Sam bhaiya! The world needs more people with your mindset, I TRULY appreciate what you're doing !
School made me hate studying which is so sad. I was such a curious child and wanted to learn everything.
Now in my 3rd semester of university my hate for studying really bites me in the......
I've been trying to fall in love with learning again 😊
Can you share how you did it?
@@steinistein8611 Same shit this side. Anyone to help us ?
@@parths.1903 I believe I can help you guys.
the metaphor at the end with learning and the digestive system just amazes me. This man is a genius. I had a gap year after I graduated from High school and this video just made me so so so motivated to study again and be productive. Especially after COVID! Thank you, Samuel, I owe you
I just found your channel and im wowed, I'm came looking for a kind of tutorial for a paperless life and now I feel you changed my life. You're very motivational!! Thank you
**What's on my mind:**
It feels like somewhere in my mind I knew about this questioning approach but never paid attention to it and stuck with cramming anyway.
#Feedback:
Samuel can you please elaborate more on the questioning procedure and break it down in parts like
Part A:Reading Approach (Breaking down concepts)
Part B: Question framing
Part C: Answering (Creating the frame work)
Thanks is not enough for your work but still that's all I can think of right now.
Cheers have a great day
Suraj Saha you spoke my mind!
Love this. I was in the same situation when I first started nursing school. I adopted a study method like this only on my fourth semester and thank goodness i was able to catch up to my courses simply by breaking down complex subjects into questions and answering them. My understanding skyrocketed !
I wish I watched this long time back :) but a great piece of info..
Yes, me to, I should've known this long time ago
Me to
Same..
Same, i watch it after I flunked Biology
this made me smile.being a dermatologist i have associated emotions with each patient i deal with.not only did it help me with my bedside manners but the topic got imprinted into my brain. i hope you work on this too as you journey into being an extraordinary human being.
I think Albert Einstein said “If you can’t explain it to a six year old, you don’t understand it yourself.” I think that speaks volumes.
Breaking things down to its basic parts and understanding it by simplicity is what I feel many college professors lack.
I love this amazing content you are making!
This is by far the best one on UA-cam. I entered A&P going off of a few of these “how to study for A&P” videos using their strategies and while some have worked for me, asking myself and teacher questions have made the difference between simply memorizing and knowing the material. And it doesn’t stop there. For every tiny ion that I know the function of, I get 10 more questions. Knowing how one muscle contracts, I have a thousand more questions. I started a list of questions about certain aspects of the body that we haven’t even begun yet. I am that excited about learning and actually knowing how our bodies function. AWESOME video!!
Really really thank you. I'm (or I was at least) totally lost in studying. Just like you said: I was trying to follow a recipe. But now: you're doing exactly what I was doing when I was lost. I asked questions. And I'm so thankful that you made this video. It gives me some hope - that it'll be ok in the end. Thanks. Many many thanks.
Thank you, Samuel, for this vlog. I am a retired teacher with a 14 years old daughter studying in Australia. Until May 2019 she was homeschooled by me in Philippines but the state system here has different ideas about how to screw up a child's education. She goes to the local school each day and we debrief in the afternoon. She then continues her learning into the evening. She understands that the time she spends attending the brick and mortar school is almost useless. She is much further advanced than her peers in mathematics, English, History, philosophy and psychology. The school is unable to provide her with resources so she continues to learn Russian at home. She has no option to study history in Year 9... I could go on, but you get the point. School is a place she must attend to satisfy the legal requirements but it is not a place of learning excellence for her. It may work for some but for my girl it deflects her from a more practical path. I enjoyed and appreciated your vlog because you have provided a direct way I can show her to make notes. I will encourage her to follow your lead and continue to break the subjects down by asking questions before building them up again with note taking.
I applied these techniques in Economics and The result are outstanding! Great work. Please also make a video on how to revise for exams.
this channel is gonna blow up so fast and i love it
I'm confident
Right? 👍👌
1:00 WHAAAAAAT THE INTRO WAS THAT?! damn...
and the notes are amazing!!
Binge watched all your videos and you've inspired me to make a text book out of my lecture notes! Also, you're serious professor material, you've got a talent for breaking things down and making them interesting
There's only 1 word to discribe what I had just watched. Wow! Brilliant!
thats two words
Yeah that’s 2
This is like a TED talk, a motivational speaker, and a classroom teacher combined and I love it. Amazing video!
I graduated university almost 10 years ago now, but learning never stops. I continue to find new things to learn about and I do it happily because I actually made the choice to learn about these subjects. I study languages, different philosophies, and just about anything I take an interest in.
Wow I need tips pls how to be good at English language
i really agree with this! honestly, with such subjects required for “memorization” it was at first tedious. however, i learned a way of studying myself: asking questions and organize my notes in a specific way so i break the topic down. then, everything clicked and the facts were like common sense to me. you explained it so beautifully and couldn’t have said better myself! it really made me think deeper into ways of studying! thank you!
I tried taking anatomy but I ended up dropping it because it’s so much info being crammed down every day. I think this method would help though because it’s attaching the things you learn with a question that originated from your own mind.
I struggled with my first biology class. I never knew how to study. I would try and memorize everything. I failed and had to retake courses and it was very disappointing. I then realize that I have to understand the concept rather than memorizing. I am currently still trying to find my path on how to learn but your video is inspiring to me. It expands my knowledge on how to actually learn a topic. Thank you 🙏🏻
Try to understand what learning is and how the human brain works correlated to learning. Learn about working memory, long therm memory and how to transfer info between them.
This is such an interesting way to learn. Honestly, I too, don't like mindless mugging up of things. Learning how to learn has always been on my mind. I experimented with the different techniques and now I think I need to try this out. Amazing video, the quality and content are amazing as always. Thank you for making such a mindful and informative video!
Most underrated Channel reveals most underrated study advice
No matter what... you still teach people how to learn. Its great! People need inspiration to move forward.
Bro really...... I have the same feeling... When I just draw my imagination I remember that thing for my whole life........ when ever I draw I get that thing in mind.. And during exam or test I just have a memory of that drawing.. Or diagrams those colour full notes that I stick to my book.... I just remember that it's that question that I have written in that green sticky note..... That MCQ is the one that I highlighted with Pink highlighter... That feeling is amazing ...and helped alot me specially when I have not enough time for some subjects to make notes...
Your way of explaining is very well.. Plz continue it... And help people like to get ideas like this....
*I do not have an iPad.....I have tablet .. Can you suggest any app for andriod users.. To take perfect notes*
im crying my eyes out you are such a lifesaver! i love it this method!!!!
Have you heard of "Zettelkasten"? It's a note-taking method that helps build a mental network graph of information by separating collection, thinking, and structuring. I've been exploring the technique with Notion and org-roam but many tools exist. What I've been enjoying is that it always feels organic, so it never feels like a struggle to keep adding to it. For instance, I created a reference note that points to this video, some fleeting notes on a single page while watching this video, then later I break that info into separate permanent notes in complete sentences that can be understood on their own. Maybe then it inspires new connections to previous ideas, like say my notes on learning the Zettelkasten technique which inspires more ideas which I collect into more notes. Now I've got a broader network of ideas with some unique connections between your video and my previous ideas on other learning approaches. Having used it for the past month it seems like a great way to organize knowledge over time but there does seem to be a visual component missing. I think there's a sweet spot combining a zettelkasten with your approach, as I like to think in questions as well, but I'm not sure what that would look like yet.
completely mind-boggling. kudos to you man. words were so well put. I didn't have to repeat the video to understand anything better. you can make a great educator.
You just took it out of my mouth Thanks...from Sr Citizen who could enter into dementia anytime in the near-future 😜...
@@rajesh844 Good to know we think alike. It is very amazing to see a Sr. Citizen watching videos on how to learn. Wishing you all the best and longevity in memory.
This is amazing. Fun fact: I was studying the digestive system for my pre med preparation. Thanks for the video.
Thank you Samuel, Love your videos!! I also experienced similar things at uni, spent so many time just blandly following what others' did for study and memorizing all the notes and lecture materials I have. It doesn't help me learn, only made me less and less motivated with study. But EVERYTHING CHANGED once I started to break down every topic, using different learning tools for different type of subjects. It really is a magical experience!!
Question: How much time do you spend creating notes outside of class? How do you have the time to do this? I'm taking 16 credit hours as a freshman however never found the time to implement this study habit.
My question exactly, it seems so time consuming. Especially since in school college or med school you're flooded with new content that you have to master learning in a small amount of time.
Yin-Lung Wong stop playing fortnite, and minecraft. Turn your phone off and become better disciplined. Not to brag but I take 18 every semester. I’m a Junior and I’m able to handle it with following those rules. Try to have atleast an HOUR of studying after your classes. It helps a lot.
Even in high school at the start of the term just look over your notes at night it helps alot
Brian Gutierrez Don’t be rude, he’s asking a simple question. There are other things that effect someone’s life and time other than just school and the amount of credits you’d take.
@@ikeharahana Thank you.
This is the greatest video ever! So educational and such a necessity for a teacher. You seem like you're going to be a doctor or something but this concept of asking questions and breaking things down is the greatest quality of a teacher :) We all learn like little children and when adults try to sound smart they use these complex words and throw having degrees in their normal speech but it just makes them incomprehensible and the reaction of people is, "I don't know what they are talking about so they must be smart and I'm dumb, oh well." But the mark of a true teacher and learner is simplicity, which I've tried to use with my students. Even though I'm a music teacher this info in your video is relevant to my subject too and I've already started making notes like you for the students... They're loving it :P YOU'RE THE BEST!!!
I am amazed!! I've just finished my first year of uni and did the exact same thing, watching UA-cam videos on how to study; This is the only video/UA-camr who ACTUALLY understands and studies like me and my brain! Amazed! Thought I was the only one who thought like this, this is what I have been waiting for my entire education! Thank you so much for all the amazing advice, can't wait for more content!!!
Hello, I am a nurse and I am doing the specialty in the operating room and I love the way you explain and I am following your method and it makes it easier for me to learn from myself thanks
I've always had questions throughout the entire lecture in classes, and when I started questions, Lecturers just cut me out and tell "you ask so many questions, it is common sense". from that day onwards I had lost my complete interest in studies... but when I saw this video it gave me a boost on how to study and learn (well without the help of lectures)
I am so happy to find this in my recommendation. literally, thank you for uploading this video. 12th class I kind of hectic, lecturers put pressure in mugging up the answers. they're few members of my type who doesn't like this type of learning. if I didn't find this video 3 months before my exams it would have been a complete disaster to pass out.
greetings from India
Hi Suresh. I became a born again Christian about 3 years ago. Sometime last year, God asked me to note down the areas that I was having the most difficulty with in my christian walk. One of my top areas of difficulty was Studying The Bible. So that day, I put it down as something I needed help with and left it with God. Then sometime later in the year, I stumbled across this UA-cam post by you. By the time I got to the end of it, I knew that this was God answering my prayer. Prior to listening to this, I hardly read my bible, because I didn't have a process for it. Your video solved a massive part of that problem, and God led me to it. Thank you.
And the most underrated channel ...
It's a new channel. Give it time
I’m getting Ali Abdaal feels…
Lol
But better
Nah,more like John Fish
You think so? Abi Abdaal's approach to studying and how he learns new content is different.
Totally!
I wish I had watched this video before my studies finished. The method is derived from the most natural way of how the human brain operates. The element of curiosity and visualising is the key to study. I was never taught this way and do not think anyone has, it should be taught in schools as the 'Samuel technique of learning'. The only person I know who has found and conqured the perfect way of learning. Brilliant video.
Your channel for how many subscribers you have, is phenomenal its so professional. Glad this video is just the start :)
This is my favorite video on UA-cam
I don’t know how I found you here. I’m just so grateful that I did. Thank you for sharing your thoughts to the best of your ability. You are a blessing.
Oohwow this is so relaxing...I dont think you can produce a video with such good vibes...if you do then you are... way hell underrated youtuber
The Quality of this video is too much
Keep it up man.
Thank you for teaching me to write questions down as I am studying. I am forever getting 'stuck' when I study because my understanding doesn't feel complete. I get stuck in the details, everything grinds to a halt - it's exhausting. But writing questions down as they come up has become such an important tool for me to keep moving forwards. Learning is branched and often circles back on itself, but the overall direction is forwards. Thank you, Samuel :)
This appeared in my recommended just when I needed it. This semester I’ve been doing horrible even though I’ve spent hours and hours doing practice exercises for Org Chem or reading for hours for Biology. I will try this method and see how it will go. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!
Imagining when your done with schooling and studying. You would be an amazing teacher.
He could easily create visually-easy books/textbooks for people and have a demand for it. Definitely he’s got a gift for bringing ideas/data/information into visuals. I’m sold-subscribed.
Update: I got the iPad and pencil.. totally worth it 🤙🏽
You've made a great video about learning. I wouldn't be discouraged by comments or sub numbers, but instead focus on producing more of these videos. Because that are extremely high quality and deeply foundational. Keep it up Samuel. You have my sub. Congrats!
Learning by questions! Exactly what I do. Good to see other people really do this! 💯
The inspirational music at the end really got me going. I feel like I should be having some sort of intense breakthrough right now.😂
Thanks man I’m struggling even in the final year of medicine!! Why I didn’t see it in my first year ! Great
I think memorizing is not learning but understanding.
Understanding something makes you memorize it.
But man, you’re the best!
Kudos to you. This is sooo goood. I feel like I’ve been converted to another way of thinking. It makes so much sense. I’m going to see if it works for me.
2:47 why is he searching on yt when his phone is at 2%??
--looks at my 1% charge...--
LOL THIS MADE ME REALIZE IM AT 9%
Lol mine at 90%😂
Lol
Mine at 96
I'm not someone who leaves comments on youtube, but I feel I must let you know how you made me realise (or rather remember) that the essence of learning lies in asking questions and how, as we grow, we tend to be less inquisitive. So, thank you. Also, I'm sure almost everyone here would agree that you have a knack at teaching. I'll make sure that I watch your videos and put your words into practice. :)
Stay healthy and happy.
Love,

Watching this makes me imagine me using iPad writing my notes in Civil Engineering. Damn I wanna have that so bad but I’m broke af. Great video tho
King Lee Yeong fr!!
honestly I've been using my dad's old samsung galaxy tablets that come with the s pen and it gets the job done. Probably not as smooth and with limited functionalities (eg. lack of lasso tool) and stuff but for simple notes it gets the job done. Another alternative is to go for microsoft surface pros or google chrome pixel, plenty of microsoft tablet-laptop hybrid thingies on the market that does this just as well. You can find second hand version of these gadgets online too, that might be slightly cheaper. Hope that helps.
@@cohesian Another option is buy pen tablet for 15-20 USD and take notes on PC using OneNote
Abhijit Roy Touch screen laptops usually don’t have palm rejection. iPad is like writing on paper.
@@appletree4433 I never said touch screen laptop... I meant a normal laptop or desktop PC and connect a Graphic Pen Tablet and take notes using OneNote... The experience is just awesome... Palm rejection and pressure sensitivity is built in such cheap devices and also the software need to support.... It is just awesome
I've just decided I'm not gonna buy an iPad Pro...
And then I watched this video.
Damn it!
Dominic Victoria if you don’t wanna spend the big bucks on iPad Pro just buy iPad 7th gen... it’s ❤️
@Raj Neo Why does he have to be dumb? Why put him down? Smh
@@mochabetty - That's good of you to question him. Atleast, you are asking the "right questions".
OKbuddy shut up
I just brought a galaxy tab s6 lite
I'm going to start my second year in University and the first one was not too bad, I actually got good grades, but I don't feel that I'm learning. And like you did, I have seen different videos trying to find the formula, but now just with this video I discovered that there is no any "perfect recipe", that like a small child I have to understand a complex concept with the correct questions and connect them with something that can help me (I'm a visual person, so notes with diagrams and images should work for me). Thank you so much! you inspire me to change to stop memorizing and start learning.
Samuel, you’re a BEAST at this and we thank you!!!!!
