    Summary - Video starts at 12:14.
    1. Only study 30 mins at a time.
    2. Last 5 mins, review/recall what learnt.
    3. On break stretch any sore joints. Beginning/end studying where concentration highest.
    4. When done reading, skim down what read, look at boldprint heading/words, all important things, not study just look at them - stick better.
    Learning definitions
    1. Definitions - Can learn afew easily but combined with rest overwhelmed. Dont just learn it word for word. Wording can be changed around in tests.
    Better way to learn definitions - 4 steps
    1. Learn word for word - have to get into head first (necessary) 2. Know the meaning of each word in the definition - if dont know word find meaning.
    3. And ? - Have to be able to say it in own words (if don't understand). Work for however long takes untill can restate definition in own words.
    4. And ? have to be able to give fact/example of word learned
    Highlights
    1. Have confidence in abilities - don't doubt memory abilities - improve them.
    2. Review - dont forget it, apply. keep reviewing everyday, continuously 5-10 mins everyday.
    3. Learn things in own words.
    4. Ask teacher if need to memorize for rote (just facts) or for understanding.

    I’m a freshman taking a pre-med on one of the top performing medical schools in our country and to be honest, I’ve gotten nothing but failing grades for the first few months, this was especially depressing and discouraging for someone like me as I grew up having straight As and being the “gifted kid” but college is a different type of hell.
    I came across this video one day and followed everything the teacher said diligently and I haven’t failed a single exam since... Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge, Sir! I am forever grateful to you for this... and if ever you’ve been struggling the same way I had, try this method, tweak it to what works for you and trust me, your situation will turn around. Best wishes.

      A MOOD thank you. I’m in a similar position. In Nursing school the content of what we learn is bulky considering the limited time we have to study and wanting to have “ perfect scores “ has really messed up my grades and consequently, my confidence- literally from being a straight A’s student to entirely doubting my abilities.
      Come to find out- I was using the wrong study methods the whole time.
      Thank you for sharing and thank you for enlightening us Sir. Best of luck in school mate

      Semper fidelis Semper Paratus whats your major? because STEM majors especially engineering its more than just remembering your notes. you have to apply the concept and actually learn. flash cards is not even half of it. methods definitely help. i know some who learn best by writing it out on a white board like a teacher, some like breaking down different formulas and understanding WHY. so no memorization isnt a study method depending on what your major is

    I also like to use the alphabet to remember word lists, I put the list in alphabetical order with a number for how many words for each letter. I took a spelling test (and got 100%) from memory alone, without the teacher giving the word to spell. The other students thought I was some kind of genius, but in reality I just took the time to alphabetized the list. It works well for lists if 25 to 50 words (I never tried more). This was great to remember spelling and definitions, but if course I did not retain the actual list long term. I can do the 50 states with state capitals, and am working on countries of the world. Math tricks are another favorite. This all helps to keep my brain in good shape!

    If you’re looking for a quick memory fix, move your eyes from side-to-side for 30 seconds, researchers say.
    Horizontal eye movements are thought to cause the two hemispheres of the brain to interact more with one another, and communication between brain hemispheres is important for retrieving certain types of memories

    I was taught to do apply this method of study in my first year of Indian School. I could not speak English - I would get punished if I spoke "Indian" [Dineh/Navajo], not a preferred way of learning but the principles were still applicable. I left Indian School after one year, moved into a predominately 'white' home and became caucasian. I applied these principles throughout my academic life. I graduated Summa Cum Laude and 1st female student to ever graduate a 'seminary' [I cannot name], Valedictorian. I accomplished yet another Valedictorian, an invite to 'Mensa' [even though I had tested of average intelligence as a freshman in high school] and again Summa Cum Laude [GPA 4+ - BTW, I also have two doctorates.
    I had a brain injury four years ago, I spent five months in a coma, 13 mos. in a hospital and then was transferred to a rehabilitative nursing home. They determined I would never move my limbs, my feet or my hands [in any functional way]. They determined I had significant brain damage and also would never speak English in any acceptable manner.
    Giving them some credit, I am having trouble learning to type. The first time I went to college, we wrote our papers in longhand. I have memory loss of 30 to 40 years except for childbirth - but, when I awoke I thought he was a newborn and I spoke in Dineh' - I panicked as I assumed he was illegitimate and my grandparents would be much shamed. I now not only pull myself up in the bed [which was a goal for me], my son is 26, divorced with 1/2 custody. I get to love him [and my grandbabies] all over again.
    I stand up, walk, [many times I have to use a cane for any distance outside my home], I drive, take TOTAL care of myself, I have an ileostomy, I have two hip replacements, fibula crack around rod, back is 'crushed', one kidney [I had the thing they give one when their kidneys do not work] - I also have short term memory loss], etc. YET, my house was filled with books - so, guess what I have been doing? This formula or principle has given me at least the 'learned' part of me back again - when I read something I already knew [at some point], it triggers other info I already knew, THINK what it can do for you as I am clinically an imbecile. I am of the 'Bluebird Clan, the Navajo Nation [Dineh'] - Jonny

I've been studying wrong for most of the time (90-120 minute reading, staying in one position and place the whole time, or going out into the garden as a break and not coming back into the house until it's dark, etc).

    25mins reading +5mins review what you just read looking at bold words & titles,diagrams...+5minute break

      That's because you're probably the download generation. Back then when you bought a physical copy the lyrics were written down. Really rare someone these days will search online for lyrics.

    I've learned a few things really help.
    1. Make connections to other subjects, past material, ANYTHING. This'll help the most.
    2. OVERLEARN the foundations... as in, be able to write a paper/presentation on it without even thinking. To do this it would be good to just rewrite in different ways, teach it, etc. If you made small mistakes, repeat until you're right.
    You'll find that this will lead to an easy semester.

    15 minutes in I drifted off and started listening again 15 minutes later, did I miss anything during the 15 minutes of the middle of the lecture.. Maybe he should teach in 15 minute intervals... Everybody take a 5 minute break and stretch... :)

    THANK YOU SO MUCH! The method actually worked for me, back then i always used flash card to study, but it didn't really worked for me and it took longer time to remember, because like you said, i was trying to remember just the definition and not understanding it. After i saw this video, i did everything you said, and it actually helped me to remember better. I had 9 pages of psychology definition to remember, without flash cards i was able to memorize them use the method you show on the video.

    this method is really helpful. And i improve my habit of study a lot. Thanks you a lot for this... Because i usually study 2 hours straight no break. That is why i can't remember everything and it just make me worst because during the test, I I can do best on the what questions relating to top and end of the book. NOT the material on the middle of the book. Thanks again.

    . . . just found this ~ 4. 24 .2015 - lol. anyway ~ a story. . . when I first began to meditate ('71) I had only seen one photo of Allen Ginsberg sitting cross-legged ~ I was completely taught by Life. The key is that I just sat til I felt present, open, and usually some lesson had come through. No timing. No concept of timing. Until 7 years later I sat for the first time in Japan with others, other 'Western monks' really ~ They seemed fixated on finding out how long ea. other sat for. . .I couldn't imagine why. Also the sessions were each timed - 50 min. Strange for me. The big aaha for me also was seeing people actually sitting on particular pillows !
    The thing that I noticed was that there was this beginning, middle, and ending experience for the Western monks just as you described how most Western studying sessions go. I didn't have that because I was focused on nothing but the experience of the exploring / learning if you will. Thus when we would sit for days in Japan, or Korea ~ I just held, and strengthened that core presence. And mostly found it amusing to hear the rumblings, writhing really, of the Western monks. I do wonder if we just allowed ourselves pure curiosity and presence with the subject which we were studying. . .in our own unfolding relationship with time - and allow this curiosity to unfold on its own timing with just simply holding the commitment to it on a rhythmical basis - once a day or 3 x a week, etc.
    I can, on the other hand, be fairly methodical - so in college I would set appt's with myself for each class. Italian was at 6:30 am because class was at 9 am . . . 5 days a week. I just read and re-read,re-reading, wafting through all the lessons for the week on Friday as a quick summary of what I / we had done that week - I filled my commitment to 1 hour of Italian before class, with the material. . . keeping to the hour, filling it with the Italian material. . . it is the 'game' with our selves that matters / really works. . . and bears the fruit.

    This is an interesting video. I rarely watch a video like this. We all know the facts but are unable to make them effective. As we follow the wrong way, we can't retain the information for a long period of what we have learned.
    Here the teacher smartly explains everything. There are two types of students. One of them utilize time and the other is not. If we study ninety minutes at a stretch, we just make 20 minutes productive. However, if we take a break after 30 minutes each time or study 25 minutes and review 5 minutes. We can improve our memory the way better as we did in the past. Remember!
    The way we can learn a bunch of new definition:
    #wrong way: learn the word for word
    #better way: involves four steps-
    1. Word for word
    2. Know the meaning of each word in the definition
    3. And? (Ability to explain) restate the definition of your own words
    4. Give a fact/example.
    If anyone can do this, their memory will get better. So, we need to keep in mind that we can learn anything. That means confidence in our ability to remember.

    Sometimes , an odd assimilation is a worthy trick. I remember . During a short break, the state of your mind will still remember. Memorise . Do the activity of learning.

    try assigning an object/character to each number/symbol & make up a story
    3-3 little pigs
    1 could be a lampost
    2 could be a tutu
    4 could be war because it rhymes....
    6-sticks
    "This Old Man" is an English language children's song you could draw inspiration from,if you will,good luck!
