I like how simple yet effective your notes are. I-m usually pretty good at test taking when it comes to certain subjects. Last semester I got a 4. 0 with not much effort but that was because my classes were simple, lower division college courses. But this semester I-m taking my hardest class yet, research methods. It-s a more applied version of stats and I didn-t do very good in stats when I took it. So I-m looking at different ways of studying because what I-ve been doing isn-t working for this class. Some tips that have worked for me is writing in pen. For me, writing with pen not only feels better, I feel that because the writing is darker and bolder it sticks better than just pencil. Also, flash cards. At least for terms. Quizlet has a similar feature or flash cards but I feel like actually writing them down helped me a lot. When I took environmental science, for the first test all I did was take notes, went over them a few times, took the test and failed. The next tests i decided to do flash cards and I ended up passing with an A. But I feel like flash cards work best for those classes that have lots of terms. Also color coding. When highlighting have certain colors represent certain things. Like yellow the important stuff, pink the terms, blue the examples and so on. So I guess it all depends on the class. Have different methods for the subject because some methods work better for some classes.

-Important-to know, a good deal of professors take questions directly from Quizlet and use them on their exams. I've seen this with more than one professor. Literally, they copy and paste right off the site and if they don't use Quizlet then there's a good chance it's coming from another site like Quizlet. Best way to find out is Google some of the questions (word for word) and most likely the source will pop right up. Haha, I was listening to this video and looking at Quizlet as you mentioned it. Best of luck, leave a comment if this is helpful and if you've found a similar result.

Wow - I-m going to start using some of those tips now and in the spring semester too. I thought the way I use to take notes and study in high school was going to work in college too, and I was wrong in so many levels. Are u originally from Massachusetts? I live in Massachusetts too

I so agree on writing the notes helps you retain the information ( for me) I'm so on top of my online classes thanks for the tips. We have similar styles. I have to make time to make my own study guide I think that's key to organize the way your brain works. What's your profession?

Thank you that was very helpful! I just want to ask. what to do if I feel awkward to record my class? Here in my country in not very popular to record your teacher or the class and it's not something we do. it is a problem if I take just notes?

I-m super late, but with the classical music thing you can also play music in a different language bc since you don-t know that language you won-t pay attention to the words too much and instead it-s helpful like the classical music thing
