I used to have the same problem. The biggest reason, is that I was unorganized! Now, I use highlighters to highlight any important words, and I separate topics by different colors. It really helps.

There’s also a theory that by using color, it’s easier for the brain to take in new information!

Try it! It worked for me!!

Good luck!

It really depends on how you learn best. Becuase everyone is different, everyone remembers things differently. Some people can just scribble and it reminds them later, where some people need to write down every detail. And some people are auditory, so they should just read the textbook the night before and listen in class.

So at the same time you need to consiter your overall learning style, if you know what that is. If not, you should research it. Look for a “learning style test”, or something like that. If anything makes you say “ah!” then that’s it.

So, over the time you’ve been in the course, consiter how you best remember things. Is it better if you write words or draw pictures? If you imagine it in your head, or hear it? For notes, the split would be to focus on either words or pictures. If you like to look at pictures, and you can read a textbook later, spend more time drawing pictures of the subject and process diagrams. I drew a lot of process diagrams when I look biology. For example:

Stimulus hits a nerve ending ->impulse is created -> and so on.

I draw it going down the page, and sometimes I add pictures.

Take a process from your homework and take it apart, peice by peice. Go down the page,

Event A

Causes Event B

Causes Event C

Produces Substance D.

There are a lot of processes in biology, so I found that taking it apart step by step helped a lot, made it simpler. Use verbs. I use it for math, too. It’s because I like to think of things as a definable process of events.

Try it, see if it works for you.

Just make some key notes for yourself to help you remember and highlight what he went over. Also ask if there’s any reading material (or stuff on the internet) that you can research later after the lecture so you can brush up. It sucks when they go to fast for you – just catch what you can and get some extra help! 🙂

it extremely is authentic, they are not criminal, even nonetheless interior of maximum human beings of places they’re familiar, that is in many situations smaller companies that may not settle for them, only as they do no longer be responsive to in the event that they’re forgeries or no longer as in England/Wales they do no longer see them adequate to be responsive to………. on the 2nd in Northern eire very few places will settle for Scottish notes. many shops have a notices up informing purchasers no Scottish notes are familiar as there has been various forgeries, so all people who has any needs to take them into any extreme highway economic business enterprise and alter them for NI or economic business enterprise of britain sterling. As for ‘Irish’ notes, as eire makes use of Euro’s they are not familiar in Britain, even nonetheless maximum shops will settle for them in Northern eire…………
