 How to learn new content for the first time:

o Two component of learning:

 Understanding
 Remembering

o Understanding:

 Can you explain it to a 7 year old and to a guy of your age?

 {Active Recall is not just for revising, but the best method of learning}

 You read 2 Paragraphs / Half page.  ASK:

What have I just read?
What are the key ideas?
Can I rephrase in my own words?
Explain to a 7 year old and your class fellow (imaginary)
Can’t explain>> Re-read and answer that question.
What is this about?

 The Process seams quite lazy, and slow. But you have to trust the process.
I know it takes a lot longer

o Remembering
 Active Recall >> write questions.
 Spaced repetition >>
o Now start spaced repetition and A.R
 You have to make the thing difficult >> or you will never remember it!
 If you are finding it hard == you are learning
 If you are finding it easy == you are !learing
 Do small thing every day- 10,000 hour
 Don’t run away form the chapters you don’t know.
 Final topic to 1st topic, then first to last
 You don’t have to master the topic in 1 go. You will revise it 8-9 times before the exam
 Active recall method:
o Gone through the lecture
o Converted everything to questions
o RED- Unable to answer- short on time, only go through them
o Blue- able to answer perfectly
o Word
 Spaced repetition:
o SR spreadsheet
 Google sheets
 Scoping your syllabus
