Laptop or paper notes? Highlighter or flashcards? And does music help while studying? Here's how to take better notes and study so that you remember what you've learned — without getting crushed by college stress. Plus: what to do if you do feel crushed.There's no single magic way to take notes, but the act of writing down our interpretation of what we've learned helps organize and consolidate information in our brains.
Pay attention when they offer categories and numbered lists."Be on the lookout for the ways that professors will organize information," says Natalie Murr, a psychologist at North Carolina State University."You know, 'Here are the categories of x. There's three categories: No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3.'"Also, laptop or paper? It doesn't matter, Murr says. What's more important is that you take down key information, not everything your professor says verbatim.
Think of learning as a two-way street. When you re-read and highlight, you're only focused on getting information in, not doing any retrieving."Research demonstrates that when we engage in that process of overtly retrieving, we actually organize concepts and create a better structure for what we're understanding," Agarwal says."So through that process of retrieval, we help make sense of what we're trying to learn.
Another tip — and you might not like this one: Don't listen to music while you read. Research has shown that silence almost doubles reading comprehension, compared to listening to music with lyrics, Agarwal says.An F on a test — or even for an entire class — doesn't mean you won't graduate.
Solid tips.
Music helps EVERYTHING.
Type your handwritten notes every day and they are absorbed in your brain!! (Don't type like a pro, you need to be reading your notes and watching your words come out correctly)
Explore what works for you
Read repeatedly until you understand.
