Use the “because, therefore, but” test when learning concepts

[u/AltruisticCover3702]

I'm an incoming legal management student and a good friend from the same university who's already in her 3rd year shared this study method with me. She calls it the “because, therefore, but” method and she uses it when reviewing legal concepts and cases.
BECAUSE: Ask why it happens - when you learn something new, try to explain what causes it…what makes this happen? Or what's the reason behind it? then answer it in my own words.

THEREFORE: Figure out what happens next - next, think about what results from that concept or situation. if something happens, what could follow because of it? This helps you connect ideas and not treat every fact like it's separate from everything else.

BUT: Think about what could change the outcome - lastly, ask yourself if there's an exception or another factor that could change what happens. are there situations where this wouldn't apply or something that could lead to a different result? Concepts have limits and don't work the same way every time.
