study habits
i read this studying tip:
Review lecture material the DAY it is taught.
Studies show that any new material learned will be forgotten within 24 hours if it fails to be transferred to long-term memory. Once again, no one's telling you to memorize it, just make sure it's somewhere in the back of your head when you need it.
can anyone expand on the short term -> long term memory thing to me? how do you know if you have done that? ok so after class ends i should spend half an hour reviewing everything then nap and then continue? bc would napping help you memorize material?

Mkay!
So, you're right. It's important to reread your notes right after class. Throughout the whole day, keep looking over them, it really helps.
Sleep could help, but it's more important that it occurs at night. Study for about an hour each night on each subject. A good 8-9 hours will help retain the knowledge! Promise.
You can also help yourself while studying when you go over with colors. Color sticks in your mind more, which causes you to remember it much easier.
Also if you think of a funny way to think of it [like on full house with 'success'] it's so much easier. Usually when people study they just do that naturally, they think of an easy way to remember it.
Gooddddluck!<3

Have you seen the movie 50 First Dates? It's like that. When you're in class, hearing something for the first time, you'll remember it. Say your teacher tells you the Pythagorean Theorem for the first time on Monday morning. You write it down [a squared + b squared = c squared]. And you THINK you know it. And you proceed to spend the entire week playing videogames and using your math notebook as a seat cushion. Come Friday, chances are you're not going to remember that equation for the quiz. Basically, it went in one ear, hung around for a few hours, and went out the other.
If you had reviewed your notes once or twice since first taking them, chances are a LOT better that you're going to remember it. Think back to learning your phone number, address, tying your shoes, etc. How did you remember? Repitition. You recited that number or tied your shoes SO many times you could probably do it in your sleep. Your mom didn't just say "cross the laces and make a bow, GO!" and that was it. You did it over & over.
hope that helped =)
