MORE RULES OF GOOD STUDYING
Explain to me like I'm 5!
Whenever you are struggling with a concept use explanatory questioning and simple analogies. Using an analogy really helps, like saying that the flow of electricity is like the flow of water.
Don’t just think your explanation - say it out loud or put it in writing. The additional effort of speaking and writing allows you to more deeply encode (that is, convert into neural memory structures) what you are learning.
Use recall.
After you read a page, look away and recall the main ideas. Highlight very little, and never highlight anything you haven’t put in your mind first by recalling.
Try recalling main ideas when you are walking to class or in a different room from where you originally learned it. An ability to recall - to generate the ideas from inside yourself - is one of the key indicators of good learning.
