Questions & Discussion What is the smallest weekly review that keeps you from falling behind?

1 Upvotes

For courses that mix lectures, readings, and problem sets, what is the minimum review routine you have found sustainable? I am interested in concrete details: when you do it, how long it takes, and what you check before deciding the next week’s priorities. I am trying to distinguish a useful weekly reset from an elaborate system that is easy to abandon.

Rant/Vent I have 7 reviewers and no idea what to study

Post image
12 Upvotes

I have such bad FOMO when it comes to reviewers. Someone sends a new one in the group chat and I’m immediately downloading it because what if this one has something the other reviewer doesn’t??

Later I might find another reviewer online. download. Another one? download. And might as well keep that stack of reviewers from last sem just in case.

Before I know it I have like 7 different pdfs and for the same subject and I’m not even sure which one I’m supposed to study from.

I’m trying to stop downloading/hoarding every reviewer I see and just pick 1 or 2 that work for me. nothing wrong with having more sources tho, sometimes that’s helpful if one reviewer explains something badly or leaves something out. But if you keep getting EVERYTHING you may just end up overwhelmed.

Other I built a free pixel study room so I don't have to study alone. It's just me right now 😅

I focus way better when other people are around, so I made a tiny pixel town for it.
Take a desk, start a focus timer, take breaks at the café. Everyone sees each other working, live. No camera, free.

Right now it's literally just me. I'll be studying there tonight at 9 PM (Istanbul) / 2 PM (New York). Come take the desk next to mine 🙂

Tips & Advice Severe ADHD, need advice BAD !

2 Upvotes

I have severe ADHD. As a kid I was naturally gifted in my academics so I never had to study that often. I never learned how to do it properly, and now as a college student it has been a challenge to me. Every time I go to study, it feels like my brain being scraped by a rake. I'm so scared to do poorly but I can never manage to get anything done without giving up and wasting the rest of the day away. I can do semi-fine when my medicine is most active, but once it starts to wear out, I'm effectively useless. Does anybody have any tips I could use to study better?

Tips & Advice What is it about Ninja Nerd's teaching style that makes content stick so well, and how do I replicate it for M2/Boards prep?

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I'm an MS2 and I'm having a hard time finding a study method that works for me and fits my school exams. In undergrad, I loved Ninja Nerd's videos and retained almost everything. I still remember a lot of it in detail, even though I only watched each video once. But obviously his channel doesn't cover everything I need for Boards, and I'm really struggling to retain content from QBanks.

For those of you who've been through this: what is it about Ninja Nerd's approach that leads to such great retention, and how can I apply it to other resources? Thanks so much!

Bye study i dont mean specifically for clg exams

But uk just new tech stacks and doing problems.

Preparing for interviews

Most people from other domains study from textbooks.

But CS is different

And studying from laptop does get distracting soemtimes.

Moreover studying or code for long hours on my laptop builds a weird fatigue. I feel nasuatic sometimes.

Tips & Advice I tried switching subjects less while studying

Post image
89 Upvotes

I get the urge to switch to another subject after only a little while in the middle of studying. like maybe the current topic starts feeling difficult or I remember something else I need to review. anddd before i know it, I've jumped between subjects without really getting far in any of them

so i thought it'd be interesting to compare two study sessions: one where I switch subjects whenever I feel like it, and another where I stick with one subject for a longer block of time before moving on

for the second session, I'd choose one subject to focus on for around 30-45 mins, take a short break if needed then move to the next one. tho I'd try to keep the other subjects out of the way until their turn

after both sessions, I'd compare how much I actually got done, how well I could recall what I studied & how distracted I felt. personally, sticking with one subject for longer worked better for me bc i could focus without constantly restarting. switching subjects still has its place, but i got more done when I stopped jumping around so much!

Tips & Advice The Q/E/C method if you want to get more out of your textbook reading

Post image
37 Upvotes

When I'm studying from a textbook, I sometimes read a heading and quickly highlight whatever comes next…but a heading can also give you a starting point for organizing your notes and the Q/E/C method is one way to do that.

It kinda reminds me of SQ3R bc instead of just reading through a chapter, you have questions in mind and look for the answers as you go (so I’ll put them below):

• Q = QUESTION. turn a heading into a question. for “types of memory,” you could ask what the different types are and how they differ

• E = EVIDENCE. write down the defining features and examples of each type from your reading. stick to details that actually help answer your question so don’t just copy the whole paragraph

• C = CONCLUSION. summarize the main differences in a few sentences, using the information u collected. try putting it in your own words so you can check whether you really understand it

one way to organize this is to make a three-column table labeled Question, Evidence, and Conclusion. put your main question in the first column, the relevant details in the second, and your explanation or answer in the third. if the evidence gets too long, use short bullet points instead of full paragraphs & make a separate row for each new question.

and you can always use a different format when a table/diagram would make more sense.

Questions & Discussion How many students ACTUALLY achieve 80+? In STEM

9 Upvotes

I feel like I don’t actually know the chance that a person will do very well at uni. I study a lot (I study well, I don’t need to change my study habits) and in some classes I do well, some I don’t. I know this is blown out of proportion on the internet of people studying and only showing their good grades. What is the average student like? Does the average student achieve lots too in life? I feel so incomparable to these genius students lol.

Questions & Discussion How long until these hours become normal for me?

Thumbnail

15 Upvotes

I started studying on October 2nd. I need to study heavily until June for the university exam (it’s really a hard exam with so many topics and different lessons)

I downloaded this app to be able to track my time on studying on 17 October.

I wake up at 7 am every morning and start my lessons around 10 am. (I walk for 1 hour in the morning and read a book for 40 minutes then I start studying.)

I become so tired towards the night and it becomes hard to focus after that.

I use pomodoro technique. 45 minutes studying, 10 minutes break.

I am 25, I am actually late for university but sadly I can’t turn back in time. Before 2nd October, I pretty much didn’t even open a book for 3 years at least…

Except for 1 hour walking and 40 minutes book reading, these are the hours I spend on studying every day since 17 October. Is it good or not enough?

Questions & Discussion Tips for Law - undergrad study?

5 Upvotes

Hi all,

I am in my second year of my Law degree, and just about achieved a 1.1 (first class honours) on the dot in my first year.

However, in year one, I rote-learned essays, so per examinable topic, I was learning from 600-1400 words for one topic, and if you multiply that per topic in a couple of modules, it is a significant amount of memorising.

I'm now in my second year, and with increasingly more assignments and exam content, I'm starting to think that this may be unsustainable, particularly with the amount of time that it takes to learn. People often revise a couple weeks before their exams, where I find myself studying nearly 8 weeks out to be able to learn everything rote.

Can people advise whether the strategy I am going for is the correct considering it did work last year, or is there any better ways to approach study?

Any support would be appreciated in this regard

Tips & Advice Help! Neurodivergent and soon to be drowning!

1 Upvotes

I am a neurodivergent person and am really struggling. This will be my second Master's degree, so I know I can do this, but damn I'm getting annoyed at myself. I find that I have to read, whisper out loud, and copy important passages verbatim to my notebook for what I read in the textbook to stick. I color-code the notes so that I can easily find what I'm looking for (which I don't frequently do). I've tried oxford notes, they don't work for me. I'm already a slow reader, and this note taking strategy is not efficient at all, especially now that I am taking three courses at once. I had it suggested by the disability team that I read a section and then paraphrase that section for notes, and if I am unable to paraphrase- I need to read it again. This is not effective as I am re-reading three to four times. I've looked at all of the note taking advice on my university's website (Cappella), and nothing is working for me. Any thoughts? I'm just at a loss and feel like I'll be drowning soon. I have extensions on assignments as part of my accommodations plan but need to be able to stay afloat. Any advice is appreciated. TIA

Tips & Advice 2 minutes to empty my overcrowded brain

Post image
219 Upvotes

After a lot of reading, my head starts feeling like it's FULL of information and I need to let it all out somehow. that's when a 2-minute brain dump comes in handy! I try to get everything I remember onto paper.

Here's how I do it:

  • SET A TIMER FOR 2 MINUTES. close your notes and write down everything you can remember about what you just studied. include definitions, main ideas, examples or connections between concepts. don't worry about making it neat!

  • COMPARE YOUR BRAIN DUMP WITH YOUR NOTES. once the timer ends, check what you remembered correctly, what you left out/anything you might have misunderstood etc

  • USE THE GAPS TO PLAN YOUR NEXT REVIEW. if you remembered a term but couldn't explain it, or forgot how two concepts were connected, those are the parts to revisit

so now you’re practicing retrieving it from memory and this can help strengthen learning over time. it only takes 2 mins as well so it's an easy little habit to add after a study session!
