My professor set this as the only extra credit assignment for the class, worth 2% of the total grade. Completely optional, with incentive, the way it should be.
I sometimes find that if i study and then pretend i'm teaching someone else what i just learned, it helps me understand better. Imagine trying to explain something to someone else and you don't fully understand it, it would be embarrassing if they asked you something and you didn't know the answer!
I just watched all five videos in this series. Hands down the best study strategy videos I've encountered (and BELIEVE ME, I searched high and low). I used the deep vs shallow method on the first chapter of my Gen Bio and it's SO much easier to recall these concepts versus just memorizing them. It's like magic lol
My personal opinion is professor Scott Brechner from lbcc He's my favorite super helpful and a great teacher ruclips.net/p/PLGpClaI8mTmopP6d4-EYBuWDnwg_IHZUC Hope this helps!
Sir, I will be giving a very important competition exam. With your strategies, you have really blessed me with all I could ask for. Simple strategies, I wish I knew 10 years ago! thank you once again.. one of the best things I have actually come across on Internet !!
Me too!! I'm nearly 30 years old and I've been studying ineffectively for that entire time. I'm in grad school now and am excited to use these strategies! Best wishes to you and your academic career :)
@@itoldyounottotouchit3336 lol, I don't remember making that comment! I just about passed with a 2:2 degree. Thankfully I got lucky and somehow got into a PhD at a reputable uni, and have (I hope) much better study/work habits now :)
Thank you for providing us with more DOs than DON'Ts! That surely helped me stay out of the funk of not knowing how to study but, moreso focusing on how to better prepare. I really enjoyed this series and will let my professor know that I appreciate her for sharing this series with us!
I never really studied in high school because I guess I approached the whole base of knowledge from a shallow point of view. This is so helpful, and a much more interesting way to learn. Thank you, I'll attempt to use this deep learning in my freshman year, which I'm currently in the first week of.
Thank you SO much for taking the time to create these videos. It's mind blowing that I've never been taught any of this... better late than never! Appreciate your knowledge, Dr. Chew.
Wow. Thanks Dr. Chu I am currently applying to graduate school and I have always had issues with studying. This is one of the best videos I have found on how to study using proactive skills and not passively learning materials. Big Thumbs Up to you.
Woohoo!! Made it through all 5 videos! Thanks so much for teaching us these skills, I can't wait to put these into action, hopefully I do them properly and they work!
I love how after watching these sets of videos that it already makes you think about how you will study and ways you can apply these ideas and methods to everyday life, now you know how to smart
Thank you so much for these videos! I kept asking teachers for help during high school and all of their directions were vague and they tended to recommend shallow techniques! Ugh! When I go back to college this Spring, I intend to use these techniques. They make ages more sense than what I've been taught all this time! I can't understand why the other techniques are taught when they make no sense and don't work!
I am glad I have been doing my studying correctly in most cases. As with anything, I saw this video to improve, and my room for improvement got a bit fuller today.
The professor zoomed in on a few of the poor habits that I've done in the past such as highlighting certain passages of reading. I am one that is a hands on learner. My organization is very jumbled sometimes but it is a way in which my notes are suitable for me. I look forward to continuing on in this class.
Great set of videos on learning. Very pragmatic and applicable ideas and concepts. I will apply them myself and share the ideas with my students and children. Well done Professor.
I have 2 finnish high school at 34 but thanks learned many important things.I watch another video and was able to remember 2 different lines of 10 different words bt makeing a story in my head I would remember.Things I like to learn are always easyer to remember I need to make other things interesting also.When I was young my Dad got Harry Lorain witch worked but never kept useing the things I learnt till they became natural.No with the Net and brains you can learn things much easyer following-
Steve, thank you so very much for this series. I am getting ready to teach at the college level, after a late career change and formal education studies which touched briefly upon metacognition. Many of the pitfalls you described caused so much anguish in my own college and grad school, and I hope to use these concepts to help my students avoid the mistakes I made.
"Students may be required to have a cover sheet on their paper. Some students fail to have that cover sheet and they lose points..." Plus one for the traditional education system as they try to create drones. I'm not surprised more and more people turn to self learning with online resources.
This last video tells us about do's and don'ts to help us with what we do and better prepare on exams. The strategies said can help us learn and how he brakes them down in parts.
I could learn that what I think while I'm studying is the most important thing. Also The Do's and Don'ts let me know what to do to improve my study habits.
5 weeks into my freshmen year, decided I needed to change my way of thinking, I made great grades in high school but I struggled with a math test that was suppose to be review, luckily though I have plenty of time to get it right.
This is the problem with our education system. Form the very start in Primary/Elementary school, they don't teach us why and how we learn honestly but rather we are just tricked into learning.
Very helpful videos...Was starting to panic because I am doing the recommended readings for my course, but I am not retaining anything, I'll try these methods, and hope for the best.
Thank you so much for this informative series! It was really helpful to recognize some of the mistakes I make while studying. I will now definitely try to improve my study skills!
I found these videos very helpful. Unfortunately I am the student who uses shallow strategy skills :-( I do also use some deep skills as well. However I am open to learning new things. "Don't be the student who....." I Cram. I try not to but somehow I drift can't focus that great. I read and reread constantly wondering if I'm interpreting it correctly. My worst thing is second guessing myself
Thanks Dr. Chew I observed I have been using the shallow and the deep learning strategy ever since Now I am going to involve myself with the deep learning strategy.
It sounds mean what I am about to say but after watching the 5 videos my head hurts and I am not motivated to improve anymore, maybe tomorrow I will feel motivated again. 😢
great video, i figured out Im at the good side of deep processing so far. and i hope i can benefit well on it. and im now ready to put away distractions. God bless to us, those who are preparing to make good grades in their exams :)
people , deep studying method is really effective becouse you actually learn (I stress the point here not memorizing) the specific topic or information and save in your memory as a logical explanation so each time you go over those topics or asked for them as uve understood the logic you can explain it the way uve learned it
I hope you can give lessons on how to effectively study in subjects with teachers who expect you to memorize almost everything. Most, if not all, of my instructors expect almost verbatim recall and I (not just me but most of my classmates too) am really having a difficulty coping.
I unintentionally memorized all the information in the 5 videos in one watch because I best retain information by listening to it only while I do something else, like play a game or debate with my dog about why barking at the pizza delivery guy isn't nice. I don't think these videos are as relevant today as they were 10 years ago. Learning styles are way more important than he states. If I was do everything he said I would simply not retain anything because that's not whats best for me
The videos were put together really well, but they just don't apply to everyone. Take me for example. I'm a junior in a veterinary and biomedical science major, and I've rarely studied and I have a 3.7 GPA. So yeah, you can use deep processing and what not, but it really depends on what suits you best. I've never really had to study to do well, while most of my friends spend most of their free time studying.
Some people have naturally gifted memories. For example, my roommate has never taken notes in his life and he has a 4.0 as an Aerospace Engineering Major. He has a photographic memory, and even though I study and take notes, he will always do better than myself. You're lucky.
I think that a teacher who gives a test that 25% of his students flunk is doing something very wrong. As a teacher, I would try to do something to reflect that my students may not have the correct study skills. With this strategy, 13 students out of 50 have absolutely no chance of getting an A or even a high B in the class. He should start out with something slow that tests their abilities without ruining their total score. I started with a diagnostic essay in my writing class and pulled out what the students had done correctly and incorrectly. The hard-working ones paid attention and the lazy ones did not, but I could not in good conscience give them grades based on what I had not taught them. If this professor wants his students to succeed by making this video, he should start in his own class.
Lynette Gough How do you know he didn't say this to his students? He is a teacher in a university, and many people in the comment section have agreed that his study tactics work.What is there to say your students even tried this plan? I am sorry if this comment seems rude, but I perceived yours as rude, by producing numbers with no evidence.
Lynette Gough I agree. In my most recent bio class, on the first exam I got a 75% and I felt absolutely awful, until she said the class average was 64% ! I noticed in all her exams, the way she worded questions was awful. I liked her as a person, but her teaching and exam styles were awful. I somehow got a B in that class, but I bet the overall average was pretty bad.
Who else here are watching this cause your professor made you?
First year college, and ye
Doing homework for a friend. Ironically He'd be doing better exams if he didn't make me do his homework.
Could use my school website, came to youtube instead to watch it at 2x speed
Bruh I am a Sophomore gotta waste my time on this bs
My professor set this as the only extra credit assignment for the class, worth 2% of the total grade. Completely optional, with incentive, the way it should be.
Cheers if you made it this far!
I sometimes find that if i study and then pretend i'm teaching someone else what i just learned, it helps me understand better. Imagine trying to explain something to someone else and you don't fully understand it, it would be embarrassing if they asked you something and you didn't know the answer!
dude, that's such a great idea
You mean the Feynman method?
I just watched all five videos in this series. Hands down the best study strategy videos I've encountered (and BELIEVE ME, I searched high and low). I used the deep vs shallow method on the first chapter of my Gen Bio and it's SO much easier to recall these concepts versus just memorizing them. It's like magic lol
I agree these video's are very helpful. I think they are some of the best study strategy's I had came across myself.
Y'all got me excited for BIO class tomorrow lol...this guy deserves a Nobel prize...or a Grammy or something!
Still useful 6 years later! Did you get to being a PA (asking as a future PT) :)
@@andrewsarver9684 I did! I am at work right now as a PA in Interventional Radiology. I plan to FINALLY record a video on my channel this weekend 😂
My personal opinion is professor Scott Brechner from lbcc
He's my favorite super helpful and a great teacher
ruclips.net/p/PLGpClaI8mTmopP6d4-EYBuWDnwg_IHZUC
Hope this helps!
Funny how the view count goes down with each video. I guess those people didn't get the most out of studying.
Sir,
I will be giving a very important competition exam.
With your strategies, you have really blessed me with all I could ask for. Simple strategies, I wish I knew 10 years ago!
thank you once again.. one of the best things I have actually come across on Internet !!
IIT or what?
I did every single one of the 'Don't be the student who...' things. Now I know why I'm resitting so many exams :(
Me too!! I'm nearly 30 years old and I've been studying ineffectively for that entire time. I'm in grad school now and am excited to use these strategies! Best wishes to you and your academic career :)
Well, how'd it go?

Ive been doing it wrong the whole paat time......... thanks for the eye opening lectures!

Dr.Chew : "A situation that most students face at one point in their college careers"
Me: *Failed my second math test of THIS semester* a few days ago
I did too, you're not alone...
Thank you so much for these videos! I kept asking teachers for help during high school and all of their directions were vague and they tended to recommend shallow techniques! Ugh! When I go back to college this Spring, I intend to use these techniques. They make ages more sense than what I've been taught all this time!

Thank you for the series of videos
Overpreparing for an exam is much better than “starting out in a hole”. This video allowed me to actively reflect on my study habits.
Thank you Prof Stephen Chew
Wonderful series. Still relevant and useful even though it was from 12 years ago.
The professor zoomed in on a few of the poor habits that I've done in the past such as highlighting certain passages of reading. I am one that is a hands on learner. My organization is very jumbled sometimes but it is a way in which my notes are suitable for me. I look forward to continuing on in this class.
thank you Dr. Chew and Samford University for this gem of a resource!
What a helpful and insightful series towards meaningful studying. I will definitely change my habits accordingly.
Thank you Dr. Chew.
what a perfect series of videos, thanks a lot i have taken a lot from them!
Thank you so much for keeping this video up, although it's from 12 years ago it helped me a lot!
The most useful study tip video i have ever came across all these stupid youtubers who say useless info and tips on studying should watch this
Thanks for your helpful tips. I knew it! panicking never-ever helps, so many times I try to explain that to people.
Thank you Dr. Chew. These are good tips. I've used shallow processing and now I know why I been struggling.
Great set of videos on learning. Very pragmatic and applicable ideas and concepts. I will apply them myself and share the ideas with my students and children. Well done Professor.
Professor Chew !! You are a magician !!
These videos are ON POINT. I was required to watch these (by my coach), and its helping soon much
Thanks for all the videos.
great video! I just transfered over from a community college into a good university and I now understand why I been having so much trouble studying.
This video helped so much. Now I know what i've been doing wrong all along...thank goodness I found these videos right before my finals :D
I have 2 finnish high school at 34 but thanks learned many important things.I watch another video and was able to remember 2 different lines of 10 different words bt makeing a story in my head I would remember.Things I like to learn are always easyer to remember I need to make other things interesting also.When I was young my Dad got Harry Lorain witch worked but never kept useing the things I learnt till they became natural.No with the Net and brains you can learn things much easyer following-
Cincinnati State has these as required viewing in the FYE class & for good reason!
I am recommending this to all my college friends and calling you the superhero teacher!!! :)
I've been scared for my first college exam, but Dr.Chew's advice made the situation a lot less stressful.
Steve, thank you so very much for this series. I am getting ready to teach at the college level, after a late career change and formal education studies which touched briefly upon metacognition. Many of the pitfalls you described caused so much anguish in my own college and grad school, and I hope to use these concepts to help my students avoid the mistakes I made.
Excellent series!! Big WOW!!! Is explained very simply, yet very realistically. Great job! Tks.
Learning from your mistakes is one of life biggest lessons, and there are no negatives when you over study.
"Students may be required to have a cover sheet on their paper. Some students fail to have that cover sheet and they lose points..." Plus one for the traditional education system as they try to create drones. I'm not surprised more and more people turn to self learning with online resources.
@@marksconce4983 I prefer being my OWN person and not any kind of drone~ :)
Thank you, Dr. Chew. You're a good person for making these videos
Thanks Professor!!! We needed an external objective opinion! In Chicago......j
Thank you so much for taking the time and energy to give this insightful guide. I needed it!
This last video tells us about do's and don'ts to help us with what we do and better prepare on exams. The strategies said can help us learn and how he brakes them down in parts.

Thanks, Dr. Chew for these study habits! What a ride, lol. I will probably be coming back to these videos throughout my year to help myself.
I did wait for the last minute to see this video... sometimes I become too lazy to comprehend. quite ashamed. Thanks a lot, start studying now!
Thank you for this Dr. Chew. Great insights.
This is the problem with our education system. Form the very start in Primary/Elementary school, they don't teach us why and how we learn honestly but rather we are just tricked into learning.
Big thanks for this series of videos. They are very helpful.
Very helpful thanks for taking your time and posting these video
I hope from now I will try using these strategies!
Very helpful videos...Was starting to panic because I am doing the recommended readings for my course, but I am not retaining anything, I'll try these methods, and hope for the best.
Wise words from a wise man. Thank you very much for your awesome video series
Thank you so much for this informative series! It was really helpful to recognize some of the mistakes I make while studying. I will now definitely try to improve my study skills!
Thanks. I'm a Graduate student, 22 years old, and just realized how bad I've been over all these years.
Watched all5 videos because my school has it in course content. Found informative
and somewhat helpful
Wish I had this while still in school!
I found these videos very helpful. Unfortunately I am the student who uses shallow strategy skills :-( I do also use some deep skills as well. However I am open to learning new things.

Great advice from the entire series!
Great video series. Thanks Dr. Chew.
Great series, Sir. Thank you!
This just happened to me.Thanks for the good advice i learned i had bad habits hopefully with this video that will all change.
Thank The Lord Jesus! I was in the midst of studying for my AP quiz and now I know the truth
Amzing videos... They are really helpful.
Thanks for the Amazing series. God bless you.
I had trouble with the a school portion of navy mm nfas. Looking forward to applying this to nps to boost my grades and be successful, fingers crossed
Thanks a lot professor Chew God bless you.
Thank you so much for these helpful tips!

The lecture is excellent. Thank you very much.
Thanks for the helpful series professor.
one the best strategies for studying effectively thank you sir
This set a lot of things clear in my mind. Definitely giving up the distractions, thank you!! =)
very helpful this video made me think more about my study habits
Thank you for creating this series. I enjoyed learning new techniques and am excited to apply them in my studies.

I hope you can give lessons on how to effectively study in subjects with teachers who expect you to memorize almost everything. Most, if not all, of my instructors expect almost verbatim recall and I (not just me but most of my classmates too) am really having a difficulty coping.
What your professor is requiring is a harsh way of teaching in my opinion
I think this vid was made just for me wow this guy is good
Thank you for this video series

Amazing series. Thank you sir.
Lee from The Infinite Actuary sent me here. This series really helped me rethink and restrategize my study techniques.
The videos were put together really well, but they just don't apply to everyone. Take me for example. I'm a junior in a veterinary and biomedical science major, and I've rarely studied and I have a 3.7 GPA.

I believe his tips are very helpful, but I have to agree with you on this point. At least he gives them options to bring the grade up, or so he says.
