Include information from class notes, text notes, labs, field trips, videos, and other sources. Now highlight the main points and determine what you know and what you do not know. Create a short summary for each topic that you can use to study from. Try making three columns on a piece of paper and filling in this information about the key aspects of what you are learning. Organize information into categories whenever possible.
Studies show that organized information is up to ten times easier to learn.
Whenever possible, try to illustrate concepts with diagrams. Many students find learning new material frustrating. Try this approach - project into the future and think I will know the material eventually just like I now know the stuff from the last chapter. Utilize your powerful visual memory . If possible put information into a chart, graph or picture form.
