The Way to Study
According to this video by Marty Lobdell -

Can go buy the book "Study less, study smart" if you need more detail.
Below are my notes taken while watching the video-
Things we learn are either facts or concepts.
Facts - can be looked up from time to time if it doesn't stay in your head for a long enough time. Ex name of a bone
Concepts - Once grasped and understood and put in your own words, can be remembered forever.
How to remember a concept -
Make it meaningful for you (is the most struggling part of learning). A meaningful piece is a piece relate to something you already know, like a file system, you already got it established and neatly organized, you just add an entry to it.
ex, in order to remember these letters that look random, you put them into the order of an actual word, then you can remember it.
If the new "concept" is so brand new and you don't know how to fit into your file system, you or the teacher need to break it down and find the pieces that relate to something you already understood, or, with stories, or examples to get the idea. Can also use study groups to help share more stories and examples the teacher couldn't provide that work for you.
Memorizing -
recognition and recollection are different. you recognize something doesn't mean you remember it. you remember it only if you can be not looking at it while you use your own words to describe it.
8 hrs of sleep is necessary for brain to remember things.
You remember better if you flesh out, give depth, expand your notes once the class is over. If he notes don't make sense, ask the teacher for another example.
Teaching other or talking out loud (reciting) to an empty chair about it helps you remember. Learning is 80% reciting and 20% reading.
The way to use textbooks - SQ3R - Survey, Question, Read, Recite, Review
Survey is to quickly go thru the book, randomly find things and ask what it is. If you intend to find something, you find it.
How to memorize facts -
mnemonics includes Acronyms, coins and sayings, interactive images
acronyms ex: SAME stands for sensory are afferent, motor are efferent.
sayings ex: when you screwdrive something - righty tighty lefty loosy
