1. Don't study for too long if you are not enjoying it. Take short breaks after 20-30 minutes. 2. Don't study in the living room, bedroom, etc. Study in a separate place dedicated to studying. 3. Don't try to memorize without understanding. Try to understand the concept first. 4. Don't always study alone. Studying in groups helps a lot. 5. Don't highlight text blindly. Highlighting doesn't help that much. It only indicates Recognization not Recollection of the topic. 6. Always take notes. Reviewing the notes after a short time helps a lot. 7. Always try to teach others what you have learned. Teaching is the best way of learning. 8. Sleep is so much important for pushing something into your long-term memory. Get at least 7-8 hours of sound sleep. 9. Use the SQ3R(survey, question, recite, read, review) method while studying. 10. Use Mnemonics. It's the best way to memorize facts.
I took notes of the main points of this speech, and I wanna share them to anyone who can find them useful so you may not have to watch the whole video if you don't have enough time. 1. Study on periods of half an hour and then go away and do whatever enjoyable thing you want for 5 minutes. Return to your desk and repeat (I personally find more useful the 50-10-50-10 minutes combo). 2. Have a desk specially for studying. Have a room specially for studying and working on your projects. Have a lamp, a chair, anything specially for studying. Don´t do other things in that environment. Go to other room or chair whenever you finish studying or working. Doing this makes your brain associate that environment with productivity, studying and working. 3. Don't listen to music not designed especially for studying purposes (even classical one) while you're studying. This is because you will find yourself giving part of your attention to the music or the lyrics, and you don't want to do that. Be focused in only one thing at a time. 4. Learn to differentiate between concepts and facts. Facts can be forgotten. It´s natural. But the things you really wanna learn and keep in your mind are the concepts. How does it works, what is the function of it, how does it connect to other concepts; that´s where you wanna struggle with. 5. Learning something is about to put a concept in your own words. To be able to explain that concept to a friend, a partner of studying, whoever asks you for an explanation. 6. TAKE Notes! Your brain is not a Hard Drive. 7. Realize the difference between recognition and recollection. Our brains are extremely good "remembering" things (only recognizing) when we read again a passage after we virtually forgot it. The prove that you didn´t remember that is that you would´nt have idea of that content without the help that brought that old idea into your memory. 8. Sleep good. That´s the main way the brain consolidates long term memory into a permanent memory. 9. About notes. Right after class take 5-10 minutes to read and expand the notes. Make them deeper and explain the thing with your own words. If you don´t have anyone to explain or talk about it, write it down. That´s a very important factor on getting useless notes into usable notes. 10. Teach another person. If you´re teaching and you don´t remember something or you can´t get into a good explanation, then you know where are the gaps of information that you have and what do you have to study again or ask the teacher the next day. If you can´t or you don´t have anyone next to you, teach an empty chair. That´s nothing wrong with speaking out loud to nobody if you realize what you are doing. Or, again, write it down. Make a dialogue with an imaginary friend who asks questions and you have to answer those. 11. Textbooks. Use the SQ3R method: Survey, Question, Read, Recite and Review. First, you wanna know a textbook isn´t a novel. You can go to the last page and I guarantee you nobody will discover who killed the main character. You can follow this path: a) take a brief look to the chapter you wanna study, watch the images, look what is all going to be about. b) Look for the main questions. Does the textbook have some questions at the end of a section or a chapter? Write them down. At least, remember them (but having both things in your brain [trying to remember the main questions and studying at the same time may be very hard to do] Or you can use the Closure Effect in your favor). Even if you write them, have those questions in your mind so when you´re reading the textbook you can find the answers and know what is important and what is not. c) Read the bold words. Titles, sub-titles, names, main ideas, everything that is marked. If the author and editor market that, it means they want you to read and keep that information on particular. d) Read the first and last sentence in every paragraph. It just works (not always, but if the paragraph is long, it will be useful). If the textbook is well written, the first sentence in the paragraph will be an introduction of the idea of the paragraph, and the last sentence will be an overview of what was all about. With that in mind, all your outlook of the topic will expand and there you´ll be ready for: e) Read the whole thing. f) Try to answer the questions you made before. If you can´t, don´t worry, because the next step is: g) Re-read the chapter. This time with a marker and a pencil in your hands. You can mark, now that you know what are you looking for, the actual main ideas, and take notes in the edge of the page. h) Finish answering the questions you made before, make new ones (you know what are the important topics you want to have an answer for), and i) Make anything you want to explain the topic to a children. You have to explain it in your own words, using simple language a 6-year-old kid would understand. You can write a complete essay pretending being an expert on the topic, and every time you feel gaps in your explanation, go read the material again. When you have your study done, you´ll have 3 materials to work with: a) a textbook with useful marks and edge-page notes, b) a list of the main questions of the topic answered, and c) an essay (or mind map, whatever) made entirely by you, explaining all of it from zero to one hundred percent. 12. Recall. Between each of the steps of last point (a to i), you may consider taking 30 seconds to one minute trying to remember everything you learned before only with your mind (close your eyes if you want). Try to remember as close as the original material as you can. Once you finished, go to the next step and repeat 13. Use mnemonics. If you struggle with knowing which of which two different, but similar words, is the one which does something, and if is that of the other one which does the opposite thing, use acronyms, associate those concepts with images, a coined phrase; be creative. That´s a good way to remember a very particular group of facts. Books I recommend about this topic: - A Mind for Numbers (Barbara Oakley) - Atomic Habits (James Clear) - How to take smart notes (Sönke Ahrens)
thank you! it's been proven though that 30 minutes is too long for most people, 20 minutes is optimal for allowing you to remember what you've been learning best. and yeah short breaks are crucial.
*1.) Reinforcement vs. Punishment* [5:17] • Things that are reinforced → we do more of • Things that are punished → we do less of ◦ Don't turn studying into punishment • The moment (your studying effectiveness) slides, take a break • Break = something you enjoy (5 - 15min of petting your cat/dog) • When you are done studying for the day, do something nice for yourself ◦ ex. drinking beer at a pub • "Studying is a training. And if you train yourself, it becomes relatively easier" -------------------------------------------- *2.) Environmental Cues* [10:19] • We are controlled by environmental cues ◦ ex 1. studying in a bedroom → bed calls you ◦ ex 2. studying on a dining table → food calls you • Reconfigure & engineer your environment to MINIMIZE unproductive cues • Reconfigure & engineer your environment to MAXIMIZE productive cues ◦ ex 1. when your "study lamp" is on → study ◦ ex 2. when your "study lamp" is off → don't study -------------------------------------------- *3.) Learning Experience Optimization* [18:46] • True learning experience changes your behavior ◦ Question: conversely, can your behavior change your learning experience? • The more active you are in learning, the more effective ◦ What is "active in learning"? → recitation (ex. talking to yourself) -------------------------------------------- *4.) Rote Memorization* [19:55] • Rote Memorization = memorization through repetition ◦ most of us are bad at it ◦ not very efficient -------------------------------------------- *5.) Fact vs. Concept* [20:42] • Q: So how can we be efficient? • A: Decide what you are learning ◦ am I learning a "fact"? ◦ am I learning a "concept"? • "Sigmund Freud is the father of psychoanalysis" ◦ fact = Sigmund Freud is the father of psychoanalysis ◦ concept = psychoanalysis • Futility of knowing facts ◦ "Yeah, so what?" → question raised to understand conceptually ◦ "What does it do?" → question raised to understand conceptually ◦ "How does it function?"" → question raised to understand conceptually • "Can you put the concept in your own words? If you can't, you don't understand it." • To understand something both factually & conceptually, make it meaningful to you ◦ "To make it meaningful is a struggle. Otherwise, it's a waste of time". -------------------------------------------- *6.) Make It Meaningful* [29:02] • When you remember a piece of information, don't simply remember it. • Remember its application & relative value (thus establishing meaning) • ex. Remember 30 words (ex. water bottle) while: ◦ group 1: counting the vowels of the 30 words ◦ group 2: counting the application of the 30 words in a deserted island & their relative value from 1-5 scale • Group 2 remembered 100% more words • Superficial Processing ◦ Thinking about an object superficially ◦ ex. How many vowels in “water”? • Deeper Processing ◦ Thinking about an object deeply (in terms of its application, use, meaning, purpose, or how it fits to the bigger picture). ◦ ex. What’s the value of “water” in an island? • Short-term Memory lasts ~20 - 30 seconds -------------------------------------------- *7.) Recognition vs. Recollection* [35:05] • "If you look at it, go to the next one, read it, and then stop and go back to the one before, look up in the sky and in your own words, say what that was about" - drives recollection -------------------------------------------- *8.) Sleep* [37:24] • "If you are not getting a good night, typically around 8 hours, you are not getting enough 'rem'; what you've studied doesn't become permanent" • REM = Rapid Eye Movement. It's a brain activity that consolidates & stores information. It occurs when you sleep. • Improve Sleep → Improve Performance • Well-rested brain stores information more efficiently •"There's no money to be made by telling people to get more sleep. So you don't hear about it on TV." ◦ ex. "Sleep is our biggest competitor" - Netflix CEO -------------------------------------------- *9.) Note Taking* [39:11] • "The first moment you get after a class, ideally right after the class... sit down with your notes and expand on everything you jotted down. Give it depth. Flesh it out." • 5 min investment of expounding & summarizing your notes can ensure permanent recall of a given information -------------------------------------------- *10.) Recitation* [40:13] • How to reinforce your learning (recitation): 1. Ask other people 2. Teach other people 3. Talk out loud • Other examples of recitation 1. Write it out 2. Monologue it out • Study optimization: ◦ 80% = spend on reciting ◦ 20% = spend on reading -------------------------------------------- *11.) SQ3R* [44:01] • SQ3R ◦ Survey ◦ Question ◦ Read ◦ Recite ◦ Review • "If you intend to find something, you find it" ◦ Thus, survey a textbook (don't read) while questioning -------------------------------------------- *12.) Mnemonics* [47:57] • Mnemonics: any system that facilitates recalls • Examples of mnemonics: 1. Acronyms 2. Coined Sayings 3. Interactive images (the more absurd, the better) 4. Note-taking
att'n, @JohnChoo9145 : Like your instructive & useful✓ comment. RUclips positioned the comment too low for most ppl to come across it & actually see it 🏆
Even the legendary commenter has exams to fear of, i guess I've just been living too much of a convenient Life....guess I'll start studying.... If your reading this : go get some fresh air and start taking your life seriously so that you won't have to regret it later, like how i did.....
I use to study by teaching my mom. I would start by "mom, did you know that..." and I would explain to her what I learned and she would ask me questions. I am so blessed that she was interested in what I was learning and would engage with me.
Karina Divin You’re so lucky! What wonderful parents you have :) I could just imagine you on the dining table asking that and your mom listening intently and caring about it, too. It makes me wish I had done the same for my little brothers. I want to go give them a hug:)
I watched this video about 2 months ago, when i was just entering a very stressful time (had to study for 7 chemistry and physics exams basically at the same time) and i thought why not apply those tips and see what happens. Well, I did and i passed every single one of them, even better than i expected and now i have my bachelors degree. Thank you very very much mr. lobdell!
There's a book called Hidden Time Wealth, and it talks about how using some secret techniques, you can overcome procrastination and accomplish anything in life. It's not just a bunch of empty promises; it's the real deal.
i never imagined watching a WHOLE DAMN 1 HR COURSE and not get bored , not even for a second. HANDS DOWN TO THIS GUY. This video will surely change my life
@@halfyear2991 No. What they mean by “engaging” is that the professor’s lecture is boring. Meaning that students are having difficulty connecting and understanding what is being told to them.
This professor looks so insanely into what he's doing. So much passion and actual human emotion goes into his lectures. He's actually invested into helping people and doesn't just do it for the salary. Respect

Well, at my U, they won´t teach you this. And I think it makes a huge difference to hear these words from a teacher like this. If only all teachers were so passionate about their subjeccts...
totally agree. 80% of my basic knowledge are straight out from ytb and the best part is that it's free. I hope sooner or later I will repay these content creators what they deserve. my life depends on it. the only worry I have right now is that youtube will be taken down from the internet.
students these days are so fortunate to have such luxury like these help videos. it wasn't until RUclips was big that we were still struggling studying for hours just to get a low or failed grade.
@@Kirai_ i think they meant that once you have access to internet, then you’ll be able to find this kind of information for free. Internet is not free anywhere i think, except for some cafeterias or other stores maybe, but they still give you limited time for access.
00:15 - Study breaks + Reward system What to know: - By rewarding yourself with satisfying experiences, you create good impression about studying and reinforce such idea. What to do: - Pomodoro Technique: gotta make the best out of these breaks 😊 - Give yourself a big treat again after done studying 😊 10:19: Dedicated Studying Area What to do: - Get a Study Lamp (exclusive for this) + a Study Table (stay away from the bed) - Once you've completed your studying quarters (Pomodoro technique), get up and leave the place -> You're creating a study area where some of your specific behaviors are encouraged 19:49 Active learning What to know: (1) it means that you actually understand the concepts since they're related to your previous knowledge. (2) you understand what you're doing this for rather than just superficially read or memorize them. You brain is very smart. If you speak meaningless words to it, there won't be any effect on it. 32:49 Study groups What to know: It's easier to learn from people sharing same experiences with us. These shared experiences allow them to connect their elaborations to our previous knowledge. 33:58 Recognition and recollection are 2 different things What to know: Recollection happens when you can explain in your own words 36:57 Sleeping (REM) What to do: Get enough sleep (8 hours) -> enough REM -> enough to consolidate and store our memories 39:09 Taking notes What to know: Right after a class -> sit down and expand on everything in your previous notes. Give it depth. Note down all of your impression. 41:20 Active recitation What to know: 80% of our time is best spent on teaching it back. -> teach an empty chair 43:22 SQ3R What to know: Survey + Question: Encourage you to look for answers 47:42 Acronyms + coin sayings + Interactive images What to know: Creating an acronym/ Coining a saying is a way to make sense and make fun of facts. Interactive messages: make everything seems weird (such a weird story!) -> easier to recollect it next time
- Study for 25 -30 min slots. : Then take a break for 5 mins and then get back to study. Break can be treat to recharge your brain. - Have a study area: Always use the study area. Use study lamp to be switched only when studying. - Understand concepts: What am I learning : fact or concept ? Grasp the concept so you can derive. - Expand your notes after class : Give it depth - Recapitulate your learning : Go teach someone else, it reinforces your learning. Active recitation. - SQ3R : Survey, Question, Read, Recite, Review. While starting, survey the chapter and ask questions. - Rote Memorization : 1) Mnemonics 2) Coined sayings 3) Interacting Images (Use visualisations)
I summarised a guys summary: - 30 min study sessions with 5 min breaks - no music except certain study music - special desk/ room for studying/working - learn concepts before facts (be able to explain things in your own words) - take notes - teach another person - use mnemonics - for textbooks: -- feel free to move to different chapters- it's not a novel -- for each chapter: see images, main points and questions -- write down questions in the book -- read bold words, titles, names, main ideas and marked text -- read first and last sentence of each paragraph -- read the whole book -- try to answer questions -- reread the book and answer questions you couldn't before -- reread with a marker and pencil -- answer questions, come up with your own for the main topics -- write an essay for topics that a child could understand -- get between 7-9 hours of sleep every night to improve memory and efficiency when studying
Make and rewrite your own notes, use mixed media (same concepts but explained by RUclips..notes again), Twitter, Medium, more notes. And Modafinil - seriously.
I tried to summarize the whole lecture, and I'm really sorry if I made any mistake. I hope it helps you: 1. Break it up into small chunks and reinforce it. Find out what is funny to do during short breaks, and what is a great reward at the end of the consecutive studying hours. --------------------------------------------------------- 2. Create a study area. Turn your table and chair to make your bed behind you, so that you don't look at it and remember sleeping. Try studying at some study café. --------------------------------------------------------- 3. The more active you are in your learning, the more effective. The way to learn effectively is first you have to decide what you are learning: facts or concepts? Understanding the name of a bone is a fact, but understanding what it does in the body is a concept. If it's a fact use Google, references... etc. Concepts are more important. Learning only the facts is a waste of time, for example, I remember the lyrics of thousands of songs but do I know what are those songs about? I don't know what is 90% of the songs are about. Can you put the concept in your own words? If you can't; you don't really understand it. It's not meaningful to you, and to make it meaningful is a struggle that you need to do, or you're wasting your study time. Take the time to discover the meaning of it. What is the meaning of meaning? A meaningful piece is a piece that relates to something you already know. Ex: a file system, that you've already established, you add a new entry to it so it's all neatly organized, and it's very easy if you got a file system to add a new entry. A meaningless piece is a piece that does not relate to something you already know. So, how should you understand something brand new? You have to create a new entry. You should break it down. Tips of advice: A. Study groups are powerful & great. B. Read the whole thing (ex: 4 paragraphs) & then get back and read and understand the 1st paragraph again, one by one. C. Sleep well, have a good rest for your memory. D. Write notes during the class, and right after the class; sit down with your notes and expand on everything you wrote down, give it depth. If you want to do it after 2 hours you will have forgotten some of your own notes. E. Look for classmates and ask them for help. F. Active Recitation: The best way to learn is to teach somebody else. If there's no one, teach an empty chair, or write it out. --------------------------------------------------------- 4. How to use textbooks? Use "SQ3Rs": Survey, Question, Read, Recite, Review. Survey: a textbook is not a novel, so you can go through the entire chapter and survey it. Question: you raise questions as you go through the survey, ex: what is X here? , what is Y..?...etc. Read & Recite mentioned before. Review: give yourself enough time to review what you've studied. We usually make a mistake when we start studying shortly before the exams which leaves us with NO time to review what we've studied. --------------------------------------------------------- 5. Acronyms and interacting images. Acronyms help you remember and memorize facts, terms, and idioms. Interacting images help you understand and also connect things together and memorize facts. ---------------------------------------------------------
"If you intend to find something, you will find it." That's a life advice. It always been there, it's just been waiting for you to be ready or to want to find it.
Just invested an hour of my time learning how to study less and study smart. I wish I have known this when I was in high school and college. it's never too late to learn. Love it. thank you, Mr. Lobdell. The world needs more teachers like you.
I d also argue it needs more students like you, ready to learn for life and not just up to their time in school and college! Thank you for bettering your community!
Imagine if at the beginning of every college year all of the students had an hour lecture on how to learn and absorb information. I can only imagine how much more successful students may be.
Man, every time i learn something on the internet i get emotional, how fortunate i am to get such valuable knowledge by being just a broke ass bazilian? If it wasn't for internet i would never get involved with intelectual activities, i would never had learnded english and discover a hole new dimension of information. It is just incredible how a lecture from 9 yeas ago is eternalized to help me and other millions of people with no geographic, economic and time related limitations.
Gabriel I am English and your comment was completely understandable, intelligent and humble. Brazilian you are but not broke assed. You impress me as being aspiring. Best wishes.
We have just successfully defended this video from a bogus copyright violation claim. The claimant admitted they made a mistake. This video is entirely produced by Pierce College, its staff and faculty and Pierce College in Washington State, USA is the legal copyright owner. Please enjoy Professor Lobdell's video as everyone has their personal, successful study habits and, as a teacher for decades, Professor Lobdell has seen many different styles. In this video he tells you one of those techniques that he has found to lead to student success.
I decided to watch this video after I wanted to change my ways of studying to get better grades, so I took my time and took notes. Here is the result for anyone that doesn't have the time to watch the full video: -cycles of 30 mins study with 5 mins break to always stay efficient 100% or at least 90%. -create a study area -"if it doesn't change your behavior, you haven't learned it" -what am I learning? concept or fact put the concept in your own words- if you can't, it doesn't matter to you and you won't remember it. -make things meaningful, add files to already established files -recognition is not remembering. Tips : *study term A, study another term, go back to term A, look into the sky and rephrase in your own words *if you don't get 8 hours of sleep, what you study doesn't get stored efficiently nor permanently *you need to give up some other activities : sacrifice is key. We all have hours that we waste in superficial things. -Take notes, write immediately after the class; it takes only 5 minutes. -If you want to ask a question, don't say the (I don't understand), be specific. -Teach another person. If you don't have someone, teach a chair. (my personal favorite is teddy bears as a group of students haha) -SQ3R - Survey, Question, Read, Recite, Review, to get the most of of textbooks. -Normally, before a test, you should only be touching up and reviewing. Putting all-nighters and late studying only results in poor performance. -To recall what you study, use Mnemonics - Acronyms, Coined sayings, Interacting images (the weirder the images, the better). I will be applying these and seeing if my performance and grades get better ^^
# Study Sessions 1. Cut up study sessions. More studying doesn't help because you start to daze off. 2. Take a short break of about 5 minutes, and do something fun in the break, something you enjoy. The moment you start to daze off usually about 30 minutes, you take a break. As time goes on, the 30 minutes turn into 45 min 1 hr. Your studying time becomes more with less breaks in between. 3. Plan something special whenever your studying time is done. Ex. After 5 hours of studying time, reward yourself with a beer or something. 4. Create a study area, have a dedicated study lamp that you only use when you study. # Learning 1. Know the concept and not the fact. Put the concept in your own words. Make sure the concept is meaningful to you. 2. Deeply think about the concept, don't superficially think about it. Ex. Think how useful that specific item will be on a deserted island, instead of counting the vowels of that item to remember it. 3. Study groups help performance. 4. Active learning. Read a section then go to the next section, then stop, close your eyes and say what the previous section was about. You will not forget it. 5. Get more rest, brain stores information better that way. 6. After class review and expand on your notes. If you wait too long before doing this, then you will forget your own notes. 7. Best way to learn is to teach someone else. It reinforces your learning and it tells you if you really understood it. 8. Learning from text, SQ3R. Survey, Question, Read, Recite, Review. Survey - Go through the entire chapter and ask questions, "what is this picture about an apple, what is this about this." This is causing you to look for answers. If you intend to find an answer you find the answer. 9. Use mnemonics to study facts Types of mnemonics are -> acronyms, coined sayings, and interacting images.
00:15 - 1) Don't study for too long if you are not enjoying it. Take short breaks of 5mins after 20-30 minutes. 07:50 - 2 Reward system 10:19 - 3) Dedicated study area (Behavior Reinforcement), Don't study in the living room, bedroom, etc. Study in a separate place dedicated to studying. Special desk/ room for studying/working 19:49 - 4) Rote memorization vs. Active learning. Don't try to memorize without understanding. Try to understand the concept first. (be able to explain things in your own words) 32:49 - 5) Don't always study alone. Studying in groups helps a lot. 33:58 - 6) Highlighting books (Recognition vs. Recollection) 36:37 - 7) Don't highlight text blindly. Highlighting doesn't help that much. It only indicates Recognization not Recollection of the topic. (Recognition vs. Recollection) 36:57 - 8) Sleep is so important for pushing something into your long-term memory. Get at least 7-8 hours of sound sleep. (REM Sleep) 39:09 - 9) Always take notes. Reviewing the notes after a short time helps a lot. 41:20 - 10) Active Recitation, Always try to teach others what you have learned. Teaching is the best way of learning. 43:22 - 11) Study from books, Use the SQ3R(survey, question, read, recite, review) method while studying. 20% reading 80% reciting 47:42 - 12) Use Mnemonics. It's the best way to memorize facts. (Acronyms, Coin Sayings, Interactive Images) -- feel free to move to different chapters- it's not a novel -- for each chapter: see images, main points and questions -- write down questions in the book -- read bold words, titles, names, main ideas and marked text -- read first and last sentence of each paragraph -- read the whole book -- try to answer questions -- reread the book and answer questions you couldn't before -- reread with a marker and pencil -- answer questions, come up with your own for the main topics -- write an essay for topics that a child could understand
I was a freshman 4 years ago in college. Graduated with a bachelor's degree in criminal justice-police science. I found this video when I was trying to study for my first then. I ended college my senior year with a 3.9 average just under a 4.0 with Magna Caum Laude award. This professor's tips work!
My english teacher used to take breaks when he remembered a funny story and he’d tell us about getting arrested for protesting and shoving stuff in meat truck exhausts or something so it wouldnt drive and stuff like that and blaming stuff on his twin brother when he was younger and we’d laugh and suddenly it was so much easier to focus for the rest of the lesson and remember what he was just talking about.

Nowadays, this video would have been a $100 monthly subscription learning service divided to 6 months with a premium tier of +$30 for a few extra minutes cut from the original. And you wont even be able to purchase the subscription unless you watch a 30min introduction with bait statements like "I will tell you shortly how to effectively study but first let me tell you about the history of my family". . Whoever decided to have this whole thing recorded and posted for free, I love you!
I love this. After getting halfway through I felt so motivated I actually tidied my desk, got my spare lamp, made my desk a proper study place, and sat down for 25 minutes. It's the first time in 6 months I have been able to do that. I even had to drop out of university this spring because I became so depressed every time I sat down I started crying. Mostly due to covid, but also due to me not knowing how to study and constantly feeling like I wasn't doing enough. Now I am starting to realize I was just doing it all wrong. The facts vs concept one really struck me while studying. I was originally taking a bachelor's degree in Japanese, but was struggling more and more with the classes. I still did good enough, but I went from an A student in the first semesters to a C student fall 2020. Again, partly due to covid, but also mainly due to me studying completely wrong. Our professors had a certain way they wanted us to translate different grammatical structures. It wasn't enough just having a translation that meant the same, no you had to use the correct phrasing in English that corresponded with the grammatical structure used in the original Japanese sentence. Now I sat down and studied some grammar points from the last chapter (we only did the first 5), and I don't have their translation of the points available, and thought to myself for a moment that that wasn't good as now I won't know how they want me to translate the sentence to English. But then, as I now had the freedom to sit down and make up my own translations, I realized what I was doing now was understanding the concept, phrasing it in my own words. The reason why I struggled so much in my last semester was probably that I put too much effort into learning how _they_ wanted me to translate it, which is a fact, instead of fully understanding the meaning and usage of the grammar. Now I am learning the concept. It will probably be a lot easier to learn how they want me to translate later if I go back to university next year, now that I am properly learning the concepts. I am going to try this, for now, learning the concepts and not caring too much about the facts, and then closer to exams, cus I am still taking a single subject, I will focus more on memorizing the facts I already know the concepts of.
Here are my notes, hope anyone finds them useful it took me a lot of time: 1. Time how long I can study with full focus by stopping when I feel like I read it but it's not coming through and I am wasting my time. Then let that time be my study sessions' duration, and increase it by five minutes monthy. Divide my study session's length by 5 mins and that's my breaktime in between them. 2. Set and build up a cue for beginning studying like only turning my entitled study-lamp on when it's that time, or studying in a dedicated room only for that. 3. Active learning with frequent recalls Rote vs active memorisation; First decide if the information I need to learn is a concept(which we need tolearn by understanding how it's working logically, like how my nervous system or photosynthesis work)/a fact(a piece of information which I cannot comprehend the working of in a logical manner, like learning a poem or a name of a bone.) 🤔🔬🧬🕵How to study a concept: Discover the meaning of it. Find a way to make it meaningful for me, which usually involves frustration, but that is necessary to learn it effectively. In other words think about it's application, and use. A meaningful piece relates to something that I already know. Don't believe myself that I've learned it, when for example just seeing it. To make sure that it's not my incredible ability to confuse recollection with recognition, first focus on another topic and then go back to the previous to recite it in my own words to prove that I've grasped the concept. Thereby I prevent not studying something that I only have recognised, but thought that I've understood. 🌙Moving learned things from short to long term memory, in other words consolidation requires rem sleep(~8h). If I want to do something else instead of going to bed, ask myself: Are those other things as important as studying and learning, which are the most important things that I am doing as a student? If those other activites turn out to be not that fundamental, I maybe need go give up them. ⌛🕘If my excuse is that I don't have enough time, bring into attention that everyone has the same amount of time available, the difference is that some use it well and others not so much. 📝Take notes by expanding on them right after class in detail for about 5 minutes so that I'll don't forget what they are about. If I get stuck then ask about it from a classmate or the teacher what it was about. Don't worry about interrupting teachers, they want me to suceed. 🗣👥🧸🪑The best way to learn is to teach somebody else, because it reinforces my learning and tells me if I've really understood it or not, and if not then I can go back to it and redo it. If others aren't interested in this or there are no others talk to a duck/an empty chair. (Talking out loud alone is only abnormal when I you are not aware of it) 💭🧑🏫🗣Only 20% of my learning should be passive like reading or listening and the other 80% should go for recitation, recalling actively. 📚How to use a textbook: SQ3R: 1. survey & question: raise questions about the pictures and also about some things I don't understand, therefore when I will be reading I will look for those answers so that I will remember them more because I was searching for them (like first creating and organising the boxes for the data and then finding the answers for them I organisably can just put those info into the boxes/ like putting the hanger first in the wardrobe and then putting the clothes in instead of inversely). 2. read and as above look for the answers for my questions 3. recite the gist of what I understood 4. review more and more rarely (spaced repetition) 🧩🧠💆♀How to study facts: Use mnemonics(a system that facilitates recall; techniques like notetaking are inofficial ones) like: • Acronyms: put together the first letters of only the fact's words that must be there, we don't need to involve auxiliary words like if it were a sentence, this is in order to simplify. Then put the formed acronym into some relatable context afterwards, e.g. RADIO as for the heart's right atrium has deoxiginated bood, and inversely the left carries oxigenated. • Coined sayings: make a little perhaps rhyming sentence like for unscrewing something say righty tighty lefty loosey, or to memorise the planets from the sun outward you can say: My very good mother just served us nine pizzas. • Interacting images:(best mnemonic) Convert some part of a fact into an image by perhaps the identical pronounciation(,but different meaning), and also invent an action for it with sounds, emotions and connect them. The more weirder the more memorable. E.g. fat has 9 calories per gramm-> A fat german lady saying nein nein(nine) to a cake.
im currently in my 3rd semester but i couldnt pass all the exams so im not "truly" in the 3rd, i hope this helps me progress and succeed, im jealous, nice job dude
BioWiener Look into RUclips Jason Stephenson videos like Exam Success and Study Music. He's great. He has sleep videos where my young one can sleep within 7 min of listening to his Guided Imagery/Sleeping videos. Before it used to tk him more than an hour to go to sleep. I'm going back to studying. Blessings.
I was doing the same thing for a while. I think it's kind of like a spank me Daddy I've been bad syndrome rather than actually seeking to improve. Now I primarily watch this stuff between semesters.
I want to thank you so much for this video Mr. Marty ❤️❤️❤️ I watched this video on my fresh year in 2019, I tried to follow your rules on my college career and this month I will be defending my undergrad thesis. I'm not a smart person, I know that I wouldn't survive if I don't have the right mindset for college, and this is the only no nonsense video about study that I found. Now, here I am, I got a gpa above 3.5/4.00, 3 internship experience, and I already offered a position as an associate consultant in a big 4 consulting company this December, before I graduated. (This is a huge accomplishment for me, since I'm coming from a rural area in a remote village). For you guys who are watching him in your fresh year. It works (at least for me). Just put your faith into his talk and do it.
I'm a phd student, so I have to study a lot. So I start watching videos on how to study, and I keep watching and watching, and then it's midnight and I have to go to bed!
I took his first advice and divided my watching of this lecture into parts. I feel like i understood way better than if i had watched the whole this at once
This man is a genius, I've learned more in this hour than I have in high school and 4 years of university combined! Thank you, I can really use this information now I've started med school at the age of 31... I also have adhd and was able to concentrate for the full hour, that's when you know this is a great teacher
Found this video about 6 years ago when I just couldn't pass my final accounting exams to obtain my professional qualification, used Marty's methods and became a fully qualified accountant 4 years ago. Still use his methods to this day even to learn documents and processes in work! You're the man Marty, thanks so much 🙏
Wow, I'm also studying for my professional certification. But between school and my other responsibilities, I'm quite nervous of how well I'm going to do
I graduated college 7 years ago. One thing I miss about school is those teachers that were really enthusiastic and passionate about what they taught. Marty seems like one of those great types of teachers. Cheers to you, Marty! And thanks for the useful knowledge!
5 years ago I watched this months before I took the bar exams to improve my study/review habits. This is very effective (and I passed the bar). "The moment you start to slide, you're shovelling against the tide."- that stuck with me. It is important that this is done with focus and under a blocked schedule. And of course, personal treats is just as important too!
Me and a friend each reading a different chapter for 20 minutes than explaning it to each other while the other person tried to ask questions that the explainer could not answer - was fun and very effective also that way we could learn for hours.
Love this! I find that one of the best ways to learn is to teach. Helping someone else to understand something can help you to better retain it as well.
I LOVE THIS GUY! His personality is amazing. I love how he cracks jokes while explaining things and also love how he simplifies everything! What a great dude.
He didn't tell one of the most important ways of learning/teaching and yet he' s doing it the whole time. Humans remember and engage most through story telling. This is why his anecdotes are brilliant because we will remember his classes from the way he is sharing and communicating with us. It's why having a good teacher is also important and knowing the type of style you learn.
2:12 And I see it in every class I teach but how long do we teach? 50 minutes. And yet probably most of learning, if it's gonna happen, is in the first 25-30. Okay. I'm gonna talk about a person cause I also like to teach by anecdote. Woman named Janette. I was a junior at Western, she was a freshman, ...
I just noticed that after 18 minutes I started to go through the comments. It's exactly what he said about the time period one is able to concentrate. incredible. And very helpful to know.
watched this 2 years back when i was in 11th grade, this man helped me score a significant score in my 12th final exam. So i can certainly say, if you apply what he said it’s inevitable that you’re going to succeed!

I'm 36 at the moment and even though I've managed to get an engineering first degree (locally) and a masters degree (abroad), I still wish I had seen this video once I got into secondary school because I would have done a whole lot better...the information within is so empowering. I always knew there were more effective ways to study and learn but they "hardly ever" teach that in this part of the world. To now listen to Dr Lobdell just feels like such a relief I've been waiting 25 years to experience. Thank you so much Marty for such an incredibly enlightening video.
@@richardnimo It's not a problem of respect for his listeners, an hour would be deemed very normal in terms of the amount of time a lecture takes up. You'd be very surprised if you did a quick google search on the average time a lecture takes and how long the longest college classes are.
I wish a lot of teachers would copy his style especially teaching via anecdotes, he seems really easy to engage with and genuinely learn from but maybe it’s just this topic
I don't think it's just this topic, and I agree with u, more teachers should copy his way of telling and teaching things. it's highly effective and easily understandable.
I was really upset due to my grades. And have taken a gap year to work on my self, identify my study methods. And improve my habits........ Thank you so much professor! I'll surely comeback after getting into my desired med school to thank you for the motivation and these really special methods! 🙌🙌
This professor was amazing and his students do not realize how blessed they are to have such a great and enthusiastic professor. Sadly, I remember my professors as egotistical and bitter and that doesn't foster any desire to learn.

OMG I can't believe I came across this video again , I watched it years back and got so much to learn from it but then I lost this video , I looked for it over over but couldn't remember professors name , Very relieved and happy to have found it in right time 😄
im a senior in high school, and last semester i would study until 3 in the morning and completely fail my tests, and carried a C average. but this semester, ive applied this method in the video and im currently sitting at an A average. tbh if i saw this video last semester i would have done so much better and my mental health wouldnt have struggled as much as it did
That's what I'm doing right now!!! I wish I could of seen this 2 weeks ago as I have 5 tests next week, first one starting in 2 days and I'm stressingggg
What he has taught us, trying to remember, 1) study 25 min after that moment you think you r not getting any thing, get up, take 5 min rest. 2) buy a lamp, and have study room. 3) sleeping 7-8 hrs 4) revision , try to revise moment you finish study 5) try to teach other by your own words. 6) try to make summary, and highlight most important line. 7) book reading method RQR3 STANds research question reading recite review 8) mnemonics 8.1 acronyms 8.2 forgot 8.3 images( most important)
I'm 24 and still undergraduate, and next semester I'm going to take my final exam which is relating about thesis, this is so helpfull, I really learned a lot of understand more how to have a better comprehension towards study material, I really very thankyou with this video so so help me alot. God bless you Profesor Lodbell
Wow. Over years my ability to learn has grown exponentially. I can see why now. This talk is pure gold. The effects of environment is just, eye opening. Thank you for sharing.
Maxwell Moradi As someone who failed uni but then changed his ways and passed... Don’t memorise things. Try to understand them intuitively. Question them. And don’t study days before a test/exam... Study weeks prior. And the most important thing... Do past papers. Your first few papers, do them open book - look at the question, find the topic in your notes and answer it. Goodluck :)
@@ImmyMoh I agree with you here. Understanding and mastering concepts is always going to be more valuable than just straight trying to memorize things. That's why the teaching back method is so powerful. Super inspiring that you persevered and made it If you want to see more in depth advice about how to study smarter, we made a video! Cheers ruclips.net/video/LDBnrofDz9o/видео.html
As person who didn’t get a proper mentor/professor during my college, prof. Like him are a blessing to the world. The most amazing thing is that I can get this and many other top institution’s lectures for free. Being Grateful to those people who made this content free. Thanks a lot professor!
I first watched this video 4 years ago and found it motivating and helpful. I am back here today because I don't feel motivated once again due to the corona virus. My University is shut and I have to work from home, which is very hard to do ! I hope everyone in the same situation as me is getting on ok with their work.

Reinforcement vs. Punishment • Things that are reinforced → we do more of • Things that are punished → we do less of ◦ Don't turn studying into punishment • The moment (your studying effectiveness) slides, take a break • Break = something you enjoy (5 - 15min of petting your cat/dog) • When you are done studying for the day, do something nice for yourself ◦ ex. drinking beer at a pub • "Studying is a training. And if you train yourself, it becomes relatively easier" ------------------------------------ 2.) Environmental Cues • We are controlled by environmental cues ◦ ex 1. studying in a bedroom → bed calls you ◦ ex 2. studying on a dining table → food calls you • Reconfigure & engineer your environment to minimize unproductive cues • Reconfigure & engineer your environment to optimize productive cues ◦ ex 1. when your "study lamp" is on → study ◦ ex 2. when your "study lamp" is off → don't study ------------------------------------ 3.) Learning Experience Optimization • True learning experience changes your behavior ◦ Question: conversely, can your behavior change your learning experience? • The more active you are in learning, the more effective ◦ What is "active in learning"? → recitation (ex. talking to yourself) ------------------------------------ 4.) Rote Memorization • Rote Memorization = memorization through repetition ◦ most of us are bad at it ◦ not very effective ------------------------------------ 5.) Fact vs. Concept • Q: So how can we be effective? • A: Decide what you are learning ◦ am I learning a "fact"? ◦ am I learning a "concept"? • "Sigmund Freud is the father of psychoanalysis" ◦ fact = Sigmund Freud is the father of psychoanalysis ◦ concept = psychoanalysis • Futility of knowing facts ◦ "Yeah, so what?" → question raised to understand conceptually ◦ "What does it do?" → question raised to understand conceptually ◦ "How does it function?"" → question raised to understand conceptually • "Can you put the concept in your own words? If you can't, you don't understand it." • To understand something both factually & conceptually, make it meaningful to you ◦ "To make it meaningful is a struggle. Otherwise, it's a waste of time". ------------------------------------ 6.) Make It Meaningful • When you remember a piece of information, don't simply remember it. • Remember its application & relative value (thus establishing meaning) • ex. Remember 30 words (ex. water bottle) while: ◦ group 1: counting the vowels of the 30 words ◦ group 2: counting the application of the 30 words in a deserted island & their relative value from 1-5 scale • Group 2 remembered 100% more words ------------------------------------ 7.) Recognition vs. Recollection • "If you look at it, go to the next one, read it, and then stop and go back to the one before, look up in the sky and in your own words, say what that was about" - drives recollection ------------------------------------ 8.) Sleep • "If you are not getting a good night, typically around 8 hours, you are not getting enough 'rem'; what you've studied doesn't become permanent" • REM = Rapid Eye Movement. It's a brain activity that consolidates & stores information. It occurs when you sleep. •"There's no money to be made by telling people to get more sleep. So you don't hear about it on TV." ◦ ex. "Sleep is our biggest competitor" - Netflix CEO
------------------------------------ 9.) Note Taking • "The first moment you get after a class, ideally right after the class... sit down with your notes and expand on everything you jotted down. Give it depth. Flesh it out." • 5 min investment of expounding & summarizing your notes can ensure permanent recall of a given information ------------------------------------ 10.) Recitation • How to reinforce your learning (recitation): 1. Ask other people 2. Teach other people 3. Talk out loud • Other examples of recitation 1. Write it out 2. Monologue it out • Study optimization: ◦ 80% = spend on reciting ◦ 20% = spend on reading ------------------------------------ 11.) SQ3R • SQ3R ◦ Survey ◦ Question ◦ Read ◦ Recite ◦ Review • "If you intend to find something, you find it" ◦ Thus, survey a textbook (don't read) while questioning ------------------------------------ 12.) Mnemonics • Mnemonics: any system that facilitates recalls • Examples of mnemonics: 1. Acronyms 2. Coined Sayings 3. Interactive images (the more absurd, the better) 4. Note-taking
As a "hardworking med student," I can get fidgety and have some "ADHD" type tendencies and so I tend to adopt 3 main strategies: 1 - bargaining with myself - ie. "I don't feel like studying right now... unless I get a cup of coffee.... or unless I choose a topic I'm most interested in today." This helps me find ways of convincing myself to do it. The second is: mixing it up, keeping it fresh; so if I'm not studying well at home, I go out, maybe to the library, or to a coffee shop. If I'm getting bored of reading an article or book, I watch a video or do a case scenario. Keep it interesting! And third: jump on opportunity. I study best in the morning so I utilize this motivation to get lots done early. But I'm flexible. If I was going to do something else later on but realize I'm in a studying mood now, I jump on it! And conversely, if I settle in for a long session and realize early on that my mind keeps jumping to something else, I may stop early and get back to studying later, and without any self-judgement. Taking a break to do something fun, as was taught in this video, works wonders! Cheers!
The early part where he identifies losing focus, clarifying what that means, and what to do about it, are very good. Whenever you have a functional procedure for something (that is repeatable), this is a permanent tool that you can always fall back on and increase your efficiency. With continued use, you can even further refine, adapt and evolve it. A dedicated study area is largely a luxury, which is why I liked him pointing out something like a study lamp to try and fake out your state of mind. It'll be a luxury because life doesn't always go the way you want and you are often not in control of your environment, conditions or the people you have to work with. Again, you need to have some kind of procedure on how you study. Should have a core method, but then that core should be supported by various methods. Each method will be more applicable to a different situation or material. As for methods, something that he said needs to be repeated. Notes. Notes are key. Take notes during, if possible. However, don't sacrifice the moment for notes. Fit notes in where you can, anyway you can. Immediately after, dump everything you can recall into your notes. Don't organize. Getting it on paper is the priority. If you have trouble, rewind, picture yourself and what you were doing. Try to relive the moment. Every sound, smell, facial expression, discussion, argument, emotion, whatever. Any association you can think of to hook and recall information. Retrieve it and write it down. Once it's all down, then you can organize it. Organize it, review it, and find out what's missing or confused. For notes, I used to use the cornell method. I moved away from that and simply took notes on front only. Leave the back blank for either more notes (as my understanding improves) and/or various memory hooks such as drawings, examples or references that further clarify information. As your understanding improves, refine and rewrite. The front and back should then firm up to be more concrete. Text on front. Drawings, examples, graphs, etc on back. Memory Hooks/Memory Palace. Stories, mnemoics, limericks, picture association, etc. This is an area of study on it's own and should be explored and see what works for you. Book studying. This takes some preparation, but what I do is research what I have available for books on subject. Instead of using one book, use at least three. One book should be as basic as possible. Another book should be heavy on illustrations (or similar) and another should be more advanced (theory). Match up their chapters and study them simultaneously. It'll be like you are piecing together a jigsaw puzzle. Don't focus on facts, focus on how it works. Use the basic book to study overall purpose, the theory on how to explain why and the illustrations to give you a visual reference to tie them together. Using the multi book method also breaks up the fatigue you get from looking at the same [book] material. Each book will also have some overlap, which is what you want since each author will present the material differently. You'll be forced to view the material from different angles/viewpoints. Comparing/Reconciling these different viewpoints will be their own exercise that will force you to think differently. You may also find that one author makes more sense than another in a particular area. Eventually, you pull everything you need from those books and consolidate it into your own. Then guard it like it's made out of gold, because people will try to steal it if they see it. Don't underestimate your subconscious. While you are actively bombarding yourself, your subconscious will be chewing away at all this stuff and the differing viewpoints/material will help speed up the AH HA moment. When you move from one book to another, your subconscious will be picking up on these transitions and will be on the look out for things that stand out. It will eventually put them together. You'll be in the shower, making dinner or on the toilet, and eventually you'll be like: OMG. No marker highlighting. Ever. If you absolutely have to, use a vertical line (in pencil) next to paragraph you need to look at. If you need something specific to pop out, you should be making notes in the margins (in your own words). If you are very lucky, you'll eventually come across a book on the subject that will stand alone on it's own once you've made some margin notes. Unfortunately, they are pretty rare.
He knows how to attract the attention of everyone and to make them engaged with the lecture. He knows how to be serious and fun at the same time. He’s amazing
11 years later still relevant. I DON'T KNOW how I got here, but I'm happy now course I'm about to start to study in university. actually 11 years ago I was 9 so I'm glad to have an opportunity to listen to this lecture ☺️
Don't think that way. Because you are not learning from them. So try to write some notes while you are watching and then only one lecture would be enough for your whole career as a student
This video has literally changed my life! Thank you so much! It's been 6 weeks since I've started following much of this advice and it works so well, I still can't believe it. I still like to use highlighters when reading a textbooks because I like to be active when studying (writing is much more my cup of tea than reading) but I have now started to re-read all sentences that I marked as important after having marked them and it works really well. Also the little study lamp trick is wonderful! I can't walk away from my desk when taking a short break because it'll take me like half an hour until I sit down again since I easily get distracted, but I turn off my lamp when taking a short break, turn the chair around and play a short game on my phone while having a timer for when to return to work. Also, since I've started taking short breaks whenever I feel tired I can go three times as long as when I started without getting tired. This is so cool! For the first time in my life studying has turned into a positive experience for me :)

How to study smart 1. GET 8 HOURS OF SLEEP 2. Drink 6-8 glasses of water everyday 3. Exercise 4. Establish a time plan of studying: include breaks 5. Identify your learning techniques:visual, kinesthetic, auditory, etc. 6. What is your goal for the semester. 7. Pray
Study for about half an hour. (3 PM to 9 PM) Take a break for about five minutes to do something fun. Something fun = call a friend / talk to a child, parent, or roommate, enjoy some music If you've studied till midnight and after the last 20-30 min of your studies, give yourself a big treat. Big treat in the sense you can even have a beer (only if you like beer) create a study area. use a lamp to study and label it as Study Lamp. That means you're not allowed to use the lamp for other functions such as dressing, eating, etc... try not to study in the bedroom if you have a separate study area. If you can't arrange a study room, sit next to the bed where you can't see it. If not your bed will call you to lay upon it. Do rote memorization. That means reading or saying something over and over again. But yet not the most effective or efficient way. Understanding the name of a bone is a fact. understanding what it does in the body gets into a concept. So, do both facts and concepts at the same time when studying. Don't ever forget about the concepts, because learning or memorizing only facts is useless. If you highlight important things on papers, books, just recognize it, then go to the next page or chapter and look up in the sky and tell yourself in your own words that what was it about in the previous chapter. Sleep better (8 hours) Try to take notes right after you learn something like after a class. Ask for you friends or teachers if you don't quite understand about something, and don't forget to teach someone else who doesn't understand something you already know. Do the SQ3R as a studing technique = Survey, Question, Read, Recite, Review Start studying early if you have an upcoming exam, not night before the exam... You shoul dedicate your night before exam for resting. Sometimes a 'saying' help you remember things.
This is actually really true. After 30 minutes of the vid, i needed to pause for a sec bcs i was already mentally spacing out. Very helpful, thank you so much
I watched this until I started really thinking "This must be the 25-minute wall he was talking about, it must have been 25 minutes, it genuinely feels like it's probably been 25 minutes." But then I checked the RUclips progress bar and it was only at 12 minutes ::((
"Procrastinating by not studying but watching a video about studying." is what I was aiming for before watching this video... After it, I learned much more than I thought was only an act of procrastination :>
00:09 The typical college freshman can effectively learn what they're reading within 25 to 30 minutes. 08:49 Create a designated study space with a study lamp. 16:09 Create a dedicated study area to improve focus and productivity. 23:14 Understanding concepts is crucial for meaningful learning. 30:31 Thinking about usefulness can double memory retention 37:49 Getting better rest improves student performance. 44:27 Using SQ3R and mnemonics for effective studying 52:28 Interacting images help in remembering facts Crafted by Merlin AI. Professor you have great way of explaining
1. Don't study for too long if you are not enjoying it. Take short breaks after 20-30 minutes.
2. Don't study in the living room, bedroom, etc. Study in a separate place dedicated to studying.
3. Don't try to memorize without understanding. Try to understand the concept first.
4. Don't always study alone. Studying in groups helps a lot.
5. Don't highlight text blindly. Highlighting doesn't help that much. It only indicates Recognization not Recollection of the topic.
6. Always take notes. Reviewing the notes after a short time helps a lot.
7. Always try to teach others what you have learned. Teaching is the best way of learning.
8. Sleep is so much important for pushing something into your long-term memory. Get at least 7-8 hours of sound sleep.
9. Use the SQ3R(survey, question, recite, read, review) method while studying.
10. Use Mnemonics. It's the best way to memorize facts.
👍

Watched this at 2X speed. Took me 30 mins. Watch Less Watch Smart.
That was a great comment.
I did the same and it was 30 minutes so now I can take my 5 min break
@@angusandre487 omg
Use -> right arrow to skip through the bullshit and scroll down to read comments instead. Watch Less Watch Smart.
Was it useful?
I took notes of the main points of this speech, and I wanna share them to anyone who can find them useful so you may not have to watch the whole video if you don't have enough time.
1. Study on periods of half an hour and then go away and do whatever enjoyable thing you want for 5 minutes. Return to your desk and repeat (I personally find more useful the 50-10-50-10 minutes combo).
2. Have a desk specially for studying. Have a room specially for studying and working on your projects. Have a lamp, a chair, anything specially for studying. Don´t do other things in that environment. Go to other room or chair whenever you finish studying or working. Doing this makes your brain associate that environment with productivity, studying and working.
3. Don't listen to music not designed especially for studying purposes (even classical one) while you're studying. This is because you will find yourself giving part of your attention to the music or the lyrics, and you don't want to do that. Be focused in only one thing at a time.
4. Learn to differentiate between concepts and facts. Facts can be forgotten. It´s natural. But the things you really wanna learn and keep in your mind are the concepts. How does it works, what is the function of it, how does it connect to other concepts; that´s where you wanna struggle with.
5. Learning something is about to put a concept in your own words. To be able to explain that concept to a friend, a partner of studying, whoever asks you for an explanation.
6. TAKE Notes! Your brain is not a Hard Drive.
7. Realize the difference between recognition and recollection. Our brains are extremely good "remembering" things (only recognizing) when we read again a passage after we virtually forgot it. The prove that you didn´t remember that is that you would´nt have idea of that content without the help that brought that old idea into your memory.
8. Sleep good. That´s the main way the brain consolidates long term memory into a permanent memory.
9. About notes. Right after class take 5-10 minutes to read and expand the notes. Make them deeper and explain the thing with your own words. If you don´t have anyone to explain or talk about it, write it down. That´s a very important factor on getting useless notes into usable notes.
10. Teach another person. If you´re teaching and you don´t remember something or you can´t get into a good explanation, then you know where are the gaps of information that you have and what do you have to study again or ask the teacher the next day. If you can´t or you don´t have anyone next to you, teach an empty chair. That´s nothing wrong with speaking out loud to nobody if you realize what you are doing. Or, again, write it down. Make a dialogue with an imaginary friend who asks questions and you have to answer those.
11. Textbooks. Use the SQ3R method: Survey, Question, Read, Recite and Review. First, you wanna know a textbook isn´t a novel. You can go to the last page and I guarantee you nobody will discover who killed the main character.
You can follow this path:
a) take a brief look to the chapter you wanna study, watch the images, look what is all going to be about.
b) Look for the main questions. Does the textbook have some questions at the end of a section or a chapter? Write them down. At least, remember them (but having both things in your brain [trying to remember the main questions and studying at the same time may be very hard to do] Or you can use the Closure Effect in your favor). Even if you write them, have those questions in your mind so when you´re reading the textbook you can find the answers and know what is important and what is not.
c) Read the bold words. Titles, sub-titles, names, main ideas, everything that is marked. If the author and editor market that, it means they want you to read and keep that information on particular.
d) Read the first and last sentence in every paragraph. It just works (not always, but if the paragraph is long, it will be useful). If the textbook is well written, the first sentence in the paragraph will be an introduction of the idea of the paragraph, and the last sentence will be an overview of what was all about. With that in mind, all your outlook of the topic will expand and there you´ll be ready for:
e) Read the whole thing.
f) Try to answer the questions you made before. If you can´t, don´t worry, because the next step is:
g) Re-read the chapter. This time with a marker and a pencil in your hands. You can mark, now that you know what are you looking for, the actual main ideas, and take notes in the edge of the page.
h) Finish answering the questions you made before, make new ones (you know what are the important topics you want to have an answer for), and
i) Make anything you want to explain the topic to a children. You have to explain it in your own words, using simple language a 6-year-old kid would understand. You can write a complete essay pretending being an expert on the topic, and every time you feel gaps in your explanation, go read the material again.
When you have your study done, you´ll have 3 materials to work with: a) a textbook with useful marks and edge-page notes, b) a list of the main questions of the topic answered, and c) an essay (or mind map, whatever) made entirely by you, explaining all of it from zero to one hundred percent.
12. Recall. Between each of the steps of last point (a to i), you may consider taking 30 seconds to one minute trying to remember everything you learned before only with your mind (close your eyes if you want). Try to remember as close as the original material as you can. Once you finished, go to the next step and repeat
13. Use mnemonics. If you struggle with knowing which of which two different, but similar words, is the one which does something, and if is that of the other one which does the opposite thing, use acronyms, associate those concepts with images, a coined phrase; be creative. That´s a good way to remember a very particular group of facts.
Books I recommend about this topic:
- A Mind for Numbers (Barbara Oakley)
- Atomic Habits (James Clear)
- How to take smart notes (Sönke Ahrens)
Matías Ortiz thank you so much matías
thank you! it's been proven though that 30 minutes is too long for most people, 20 minutes is optimal for allowing you to remember what you've been learning best. and yeah short breaks are crucial.
thanks man
Your future at Ted is on the way.
Thank you !
*1.) Reinforcement vs. Punishment* [5:17]
• Things that are reinforced → we do more of
• Things that are punished → we do less of
◦ Don't turn studying into punishment
• The moment (your studying effectiveness) slides, take a break
• Break = something you enjoy (5 - 15min of petting your cat/dog)
• When you are done studying for the day, do something nice for yourself
◦ ex. drinking beer at a pub
• "Studying is a training. And if you train yourself, it becomes relatively easier"
--------------------------------------------
*2.) Environmental Cues* [10:19]
• We are controlled by environmental cues
◦ ex 1. studying in a bedroom → bed calls you
◦ ex 2. studying on a dining table → food calls you
• Reconfigure & engineer your environment to MINIMIZE unproductive cues
• Reconfigure & engineer your environment to MAXIMIZE productive cues
◦ ex 1. when your "study lamp" is on → study
◦ ex 2. when your "study lamp" is off → don't study
--------------------------------------------
*3.) Learning Experience Optimization* [18:46]
• True learning experience changes your behavior
◦ Question: conversely, can your behavior change your learning experience?
• The more active you are in learning, the more effective
◦ What is "active in learning"? → recitation (ex. talking to yourself)
--------------------------------------------
*4.) Rote Memorization* [19:55]
• Rote Memorization = memorization through repetition
◦ most of us are bad at it
◦ not very efficient
--------------------------------------------
*5.) Fact vs. Concept* [20:42]
• Q: So how can we be efficient?
• A: Decide what you are learning
◦ am I learning a "fact"?
◦ am I learning a "concept"?
• "Sigmund Freud is the father of psychoanalysis"
◦ fact = Sigmund Freud is the father of psychoanalysis
◦ concept = psychoanalysis
• Futility of knowing facts
◦ "Yeah, so what?" → question raised to understand conceptually
◦ "What does it do?" → question raised to understand conceptually
◦ "How does it function?"" → question raised to understand conceptually
• "Can you put the concept in your own words? If you can't, you don't understand it."
• To understand something both factually & conceptually, make it meaningful to you
◦ "To make it meaningful is a struggle. Otherwise, it's a waste of time".
--------------------------------------------
*6.) Make It Meaningful* [29:02]
• When you remember a piece of information, don't simply remember it.
• Remember its application & relative value (thus establishing meaning)
• ex. Remember 30 words (ex. water bottle) while:
◦ group 1: counting the vowels of the 30 words
◦ group 2: counting the application of the 30 words in a deserted island & their relative value from 1-5 scale
• Group 2 remembered 100% more words
• Superficial Processing
◦ Thinking about an object superficially
◦ ex. How many vowels in “water”?
• Deeper Processing
◦ Thinking about an object deeply (in terms of its application, use, meaning, purpose, or how it fits to the bigger picture).
◦ ex. What’s the value of “water” in an island?
• Short-term Memory lasts ~20 - 30 seconds
--------------------------------------------
*7.) Recognition vs. Recollection* [35:05]
• "If you look at it, go to the next one, read it, and then stop and go back to the one before, look up in the sky and in your own words, say what that was about" - drives recollection
--------------------------------------------
*8.) Sleep* [37:24]
• "If you are not getting a good night, typically around 8 hours, you are not getting enough 'rem'; what you've studied doesn't become permanent"
• REM = Rapid Eye Movement.
It's a brain activity that consolidates & stores information. It occurs when you sleep.
• Improve Sleep → Improve Performance
• Well-rested brain stores information more efficiently
•"There's no money to be made by telling people to get more sleep. So you don't hear about it on TV."
◦ ex. "Sleep is our biggest competitor" - Netflix CEO
--------------------------------------------
*9.) Note Taking* [39:11]
• "The first moment you get after a class, ideally right after the class... sit down with your notes and expand on everything you jotted down. Give it depth. Flesh it out."
• 5 min investment of expounding & summarizing your notes can ensure permanent recall of a given information
--------------------------------------------
*10.) Recitation* [40:13]
• How to reinforce your learning (recitation):
1. Ask other people
2. Teach other people
3. Talk out loud
• Other examples of recitation
1. Write it out
2. Monologue it out
• Study optimization:
◦ 80% = spend on reciting
◦ 20% = spend on reading
--------------------------------------------
*11.) SQ3R* [44:01]
• SQ3R
◦ Survey
◦ Question
◦ Read
◦ Recite
◦ Review
• "If you intend to find something, you find it"
◦ Thus, survey a textbook (don't read) while questioning
--------------------------------------------
*12.) Mnemonics* [47:57]
• Mnemonics: any system that facilitates recalls
• Examples of mnemonics:
1. Acronyms
2. Coined Sayings
3. Interactive images (the more absurd, the better)
4. Note-taking

I agree, I'm just glad I found this while doing GCSE year 10 biology, might actually learn something instead of sitting around twiddling my thumbs
Dont worry, yt algorithms have their way of suggesting important things a decade later
Well, at my U, they won´t teach you this. And I think it makes a huge difference to hear these words from a teacher like this. If only all teachers were so passionate about their subjeccts...
Incredible how this is available on the internet for free. We are so spoilt, and I think It's great.
totally agree. 80% of my basic knowledge are straight out from ytb and the best part is that it's free. I hope sooner or later I will repay these content creators what they deserve. my life depends on it. the only worry I have right now is that youtube will be taken down from the internet.

students these days are so fortunate to have such luxury like these help videos. it wasn't until RUclips was big that we were still struggling studying for hours just to get a low or failed grade.
Internet is a free service in your country? Time to move i guess.

00:15 - Study breaks + Reward system
What to know:
- By rewarding yourself with satisfying experiences, you create good impression about studying and reinforce such idea.
What to do:
- Pomodoro Technique: gotta make the best out of these breaks 😊
- Give yourself a big treat again after done studying 😊
10:19: Dedicated Studying Area
What to do:
- Get a Study Lamp (exclusive for this) + a Study Table (stay away from the bed)
- Once you've completed your studying quarters (Pomodoro technique), get up and leave the place
-> You're creating a study area where some of your specific behaviors are encouraged
19:49 Active learning
What to know:
(1) it means that you actually understand the concepts since they're related to your previous knowledge.
(2) you understand what you're doing this for rather than just superficially read or memorize them. You brain is very smart. If you speak meaningless words to it, there won't be any effect on it.
32:49 Study groups
What to know:
It's easier to learn from people sharing same experiences with us. These shared experiences allow them to connect their elaborations to our previous knowledge.
33:58 Recognition and recollection are 2 different things
What to know: Recollection happens when you can explain in your own words
36:57 Sleeping (REM)
What to do: Get enough sleep (8 hours) -> enough REM -> enough to consolidate and store our memories
39:09 Taking notes
What to know: Right after a class -> sit down and expand on everything in your previous notes. Give it depth. Note down all of your impression.
41:20 Active recitation
What to know: 80% of our time is best spent on teaching it back.
-> teach an empty chair
43:22 SQ3R
What to know:
Survey + Question: Encourage you to look for answers
47:42 Acronyms + coin sayings + Interactive images
What to know: Creating an acronym/ Coining a saying is a way to make sense and make fun of facts.
Interactive messages: make everything seems weird (such a weird story!) -> easier to recollect it next time
This is so useful thanks so much
Thank you for being so kind to help us get a quick summary!
Saved me an hour! Thanks! :D

Wow💞
- Study for 25 -30 min slots. : Then take a break for 5 mins and then get back to study. Break can be treat to recharge your brain.
- Have a study area: Always use the study area. Use study lamp to be switched only when studying.
- Understand concepts: What am I learning : fact or concept ? Grasp the concept so you can derive.
- Expand your notes after class : Give it depth
- Recapitulate your learning : Go teach someone else, it reinforces your learning. Active recitation.
- SQ3R : Survey, Question, Read, Recite, Review. While starting, survey the chapter and ask questions.
- Rote Memorization : 1) Mnemonics 2) Coined sayings 3) Interacting Images (Use visualisations)
thankyou

I summarised a guys summary:
- 30 min study sessions with 5 min breaks
- no music except certain study music
- special desk/ room for studying/working
- learn concepts before facts (be able to explain things in your own words)
- take notes
- teach another person
- use mnemonics
- for textbooks:
-- feel free to move to different chapters- it's not a novel
-- for each chapter: see images, main points and questions
-- write down questions in the book
-- read bold words, titles, names, main ideas and marked text
-- read first and last sentence of each paragraph
-- read the whole book
-- try to answer questions
-- reread the book and answer questions you couldn't before
-- reread with a marker and pencil
-- answer questions, come up with your own for the main topics
-- write an essay for topics that a child could understand
-- get between 7-9 hours of sleep every night to improve memory and efficiency when studying
Nice and thanks

That's the way to do it!

thanks teacher for all informations
Same lmao
ILikeCycling Dead 😭
I tried to summarize the whole lecture, and I'm really sorry if I made any mistake.
I hope it helps you:
1. Break it up into small chunks and reinforce it.
Find out what is funny to do during short breaks, and what is a great reward at the end of the consecutive studying hours.
---------------------------------------------------------
2. Create a study area.
Turn your table and chair to make your bed behind you, so that you don't look at it and remember sleeping.
Try studying at some study café.
---------------------------------------------------------
3. The more active you are in your learning, the more effective.
The way to learn effectively is first you have to decide what you are learning: facts or concepts?
Understanding the name of a bone is a fact, but understanding what it does in the body is a concept.
If it's a fact use Google, references... etc.
Concepts are more important.
Learning only the facts is a waste of time, for example, I remember the lyrics of thousands of songs but do I know what are those songs about?
I don't know what is 90% of the songs are about.
Can you put the concept in your own words?
If you can't; you don't really understand it. It's not meaningful to you, and to make it meaningful is a struggle that you need to do, or you're wasting your study time.
Take the time to discover the meaning of it.
What is the meaning of meaning?
A meaningful piece is a piece that relates to something you already know. Ex: a file system, that you've already established, you add a new entry to it so it's all neatly organized, and it's very easy if you got a file system to add a new entry.
A meaningless piece is a piece that does not relate to something you already know. So, how should you understand something brand new?
You have to create a new entry. You should break it down.
Tips of advice:
A. Study groups are powerful & great.
B. Read the whole thing (ex: 4 paragraphs) & then get back and read and understand the 1st paragraph again, one by one.
C. Sleep well, have a good rest for your memory.
D. Write notes during the class, and right after the class; sit down with your notes and expand on everything you wrote down, give it depth. If you want to do it after 2 hours you will have forgotten some of your own notes.
E. Look for classmates and ask them for help.
F. Active Recitation: The best way to learn is to teach somebody else. If there's no one, teach an empty chair, or write it out.
---------------------------------------------------------
4. How to use textbooks?
Use "SQ3Rs": Survey, Question, Read, Recite, Review.
Survey: a textbook is not a novel, so you can go through the entire chapter and survey it.
Question: you raise questions as you go through the survey, ex: what is X here? , what is Y..?...etc.
Read & Recite mentioned before.
Review: give yourself enough time to review what you've studied. We usually make a mistake when we start studying shortly before the exams which leaves us with NO time to review what we've studied.
---------------------------------------------------------
5. Acronyms and interacting images.
Acronyms help you remember and memorize facts, terms, and idioms.
Interacting images help you understand and also connect things together and memorize facts.
---------------------------------------------------------
Great job

Just invested an hour of my time learning how to study less and study smart. I wish I have known this when I was in high school and college. it's never too late to learn. Love it. thank you, Mr. Lobdell. The world needs more teachers like you.
yes
I d also argue it needs more students like you, ready to learn for life and not just up to their time in school and college!

I decided to watch this video after I wanted to change my ways of studying to get better grades, so I took my time and took notes. Here is the result for anyone that doesn't have the time to watch the full video:
-cycles of 30 mins study with 5 mins break to always stay efficient 100% or at least 90%.
-create a study area
-"if it doesn't change your behavior, you haven't learned it"
-what am I learning? concept or fact
put the concept in your own words- if you can't, it doesn't matter to you and you won't remember it.
-make things meaningful, add files to already established files
-recognition is not remembering. Tips :
*study term A, study another term, go back to term A, look into the sky and rephrase in your own words
*if you don't get 8 hours of sleep, what you study doesn't get stored efficiently nor permanently
*you need to give up some other activities : sacrifice is key. We all have hours that we waste in superficial things.
-Take notes, write immediately after the class; it takes only 5 minutes.
-If you want to ask a question, don't say the (I don't understand), be specific.
-Teach another person. If you don't have someone, teach a chair. (my personal favorite is teddy bears as a group of students haha)
-SQ3R - Survey, Question, Read, Recite, Review, to get the most of of textbooks.
-Normally, before a test, you should only be touching up and reviewing. Putting all-nighters and late studying only results in poor performance.
-To recall what you study, use Mnemonics - Acronyms, Coined sayings, Interacting images (the weirder the images, the better).
I will be applying these and seeing if my performance and grades get better ^^

# Study Sessions
1. Cut up study sessions. More studying doesn't help because you start to daze off.
2. Take a short break of about 5 minutes, and do something fun in the break, something you enjoy. The moment you start to daze off usually about 30 minutes, you take a break. As time goes on, the 30 minutes turn into 45 min 1 hr. Your studying time becomes more with less breaks in between.
3. Plan something special whenever your studying time is done. Ex. After 5 hours of studying time, reward yourself with a beer or something.
4. Create a study area, have a dedicated study lamp that you only use when you study.
# Learning
1. Know the concept and not the fact. Put the concept in your own words. Make sure the concept is meaningful to you.
2. Deeply think about the concept, don't superficially think about it. Ex. Think how useful that specific item will be on a deserted island, instead of counting the vowels of that item to remember it.
3. Study groups help performance.
4. Active learning. Read a section then go to the next section, then stop, close your eyes and say what the previous section was about. You will not forget it.
5. Get more rest, brain stores information better that way.
6. After class review and expand on your notes. If you wait too long before doing this, then you will forget your own notes.
7. Best way to learn is to teach someone else. It reinforces your learning and it tells you if you really understood it.
8. Learning from text, SQ3R. Survey, Question, Read, Recite, Review. Survey - Go through the entire chapter and ask questions, "what is this picture about an apple, what is this about this." This is causing you to look for answers. If you intend to find an answer you find the answer.
9. Use mnemonics to study facts Types of mnemonics are -> acronyms, coined sayings, and interacting images.

"In some cases studying more might make you do worse" - Ok now you've got me hooked
@@trembling3674 timestamp
I love this. After getting halfway through I felt so motivated I actually tidied my desk, got my spare lamp, made my desk a proper study place, and sat down for 25 minutes. It's the first time in 6 months I have been able to do that. I even had to drop out of university this spring because I became so depressed every time I sat down I started crying. Mostly due to covid, but also due to me not knowing how to study and constantly feeling like I wasn't doing enough. Now I am starting to realize I was just doing it all wrong.
The facts vs concept one really struck me while studying. I was originally taking a bachelor's degree in Japanese, but was struggling more and more with the classes. I still did good enough, but I went from an A student in the first semesters to a C student fall 2020. Again, partly due to covid, but also mainly due to me studying completely wrong. Our professors had a certain way they wanted us to translate different grammatical structures. It wasn't enough just having a translation that meant the same, no you had to use the correct phrasing in English that corresponded with the grammatical structure used in the original Japanese sentence. Now I sat down and studied some grammar points from the last chapter (we only did the first 5), and I don't have their translation of the points available, and thought to myself for a moment that that wasn't good as now I won't know how they want me to translate the sentence to English. But then, as I now had the freedom to sit down and make up my own translations, I realized what I was doing now was understanding the concept, phrasing it in my own words. The reason why I struggled so much in my last semester was probably that I put too much effort into learning how _they_ wanted me to translate it, which is a fact, instead of fully understanding the meaning and usage of the grammar. Now I am learning the concept. It will probably be a lot easier to learn how they want me to translate later if I go back to university next year, now that I am properly learning the concepts.
I am going to try this, for now, learning the concepts and not caring too much about the facts, and then closer to exams, cus I am still taking a single subject, I will focus more on memorizing the facts I already know the concepts of.
Good luck! I wish you all the best!
And remember, the best time to get started was yesterday but the second best time is now
woah a reflection
Hope you’re doing well!
Good luck mate :)
It's time to ace your subject, you know you're the best!!

The best 9 year old vid youtube ever recommended so far.
if a 9 year old finds this video, they are going places in life
@@naturalattempts4504 lolol
Here are my notes, hope anyone finds them useful it took me a lot of time:
1. Time how long I can study with full focus by stopping when I feel like I read it but it's not coming through and I am wasting my time.
Then let that time be my study sessions' duration, and increase it by five minutes monthy. Divide my study session's length by 5 mins and that's my breaktime in between them.
2. Set and build up a cue for beginning studying like only turning my entitled study-lamp on when it's that time, or studying in a dedicated room only for that.
3. Active learning with frequent recalls
Rote vs active memorisation;
First decide if the information I need to learn is a concept(which we need tolearn by understanding how it's working logically, like how my nervous system or photosynthesis work)/a fact(a piece of information which I cannot comprehend the working of in a logical manner, like learning a poem or a name of a bone.)
🤔🔬🧬🕵How to study a concept:
Discover the meaning of it.
Find a way to make it meaningful for me, which usually involves frustration, but that is necessary to learn it effectively.
In other words think about it's application, and use.
A meaningful piece relates to something that I already know.
Don't believe myself that I've learned it, when for example just seeing it. To make sure that it's not my incredible ability to confuse recollection with recognition, first focus on another topic and then go back to the previous to recite it in my own words to prove that I've grasped the concept. Thereby I prevent not studying something that I only have recognised, but thought that I've understood.
🌙Moving learned things from short to long term memory, in other words consolidation requires rem sleep(~8h).
If I want to do something else instead of going to bed, ask myself: Are those other things as important as studying and learning, which are the most important things that I am doing as a student? If those other activites turn out to be not that fundamental, I maybe need go give up them.
⌛🕘If my excuse is that I don't have enough time, bring into attention that everyone has the same amount of time available, the difference is that some use it well and others not so much.
📝Take notes by expanding on them right after class in detail for about 5 minutes so that I'll don't forget what they are about. If I get stuck then ask about it from a classmate or the teacher what it was about. Don't worry about interrupting teachers, they want me to suceed.
🗣👥🧸🪑The best way to learn is to teach somebody else, because it reinforces my learning and tells me if I've really understood it or not, and if not then I can go back to it and redo it. If others aren't interested in this or there are no others talk to a duck/an empty chair. (Talking out loud alone is only abnormal when I you are not aware of it)
💭🧑🏫🗣Only 20% of my learning should be passive like reading or listening and the other 80% should go for recitation, recalling actively.
📚How to use a textbook:
SQ3R:
1. survey & question: raise questions about the pictures and also about some things I don't understand, therefore when I will be reading I will look for those answers so that I will remember them more because I was searching for them (like first creating and organising the boxes for the data and then finding the answers for them I organisably can just put those info into the boxes/ like putting the hanger first in the wardrobe and then putting the clothes in instead of inversely).
2. read and as above look for the answers for my questions
3. recite the gist of what I understood
4. review more and more rarely (spaced repetition)
🧩🧠💆♀How to study facts:
Use mnemonics(a system that facilitates recall; techniques like notetaking are inofficial ones) like:
• Acronyms: put together the first letters of only the fact's words that must be there, we don't need to involve auxiliary words like if it were a sentence, this is in order to simplify. Then put the formed acronym into some relatable context afterwards, e.g. RADIO as for the heart's right atrium has deoxiginated bood, and inversely the left carries oxigenated.
• Coined sayings: make a little perhaps rhyming sentence like for unscrewing something say righty tighty lefty loosey, or to memorise the planets from the sun outward you can say: My very good mother just served us nine pizzas.
• Interacting images:(best mnemonic) Convert some part of a fact into an image by perhaps the identical pronounciation(,but different meaning), and also invent an action for it with sounds, emotions and connect them. The more weirder the more memorable. E.g. fat has 9 calories per gramm-> A fat german lady saying nein nein(nine) to a cake.

You’re a legend
Because of this video I'm an engineer today. I wish i watched this way back would've saved me so many years. Thank you
im currently in my 3rd semester but i couldnt pass all the exams so im not "truly" in the 3rd, i hope this helps me progress and succeed, im jealous, nice job dude
Nikhilify wow... that’s inspiring
BioWiener don’t give up dude. It’s hard for all of us.
BioWiener Look into RUclips Jason Stephenson videos like Exam Success and Study Music. He's great. He has sleep videos where my young one can sleep within 7 min of listening to his Guided Imagery/Sleeping videos. Before it used to tk him more than an hour to go to sleep. I'm going back to studying. Blessings.
@@biowiener7825 Update?
I study ''how to study'' more than that I spend time actually studying.
thats good tho
Doesn't it actually count as studying as well
I was doing the same thing for a while. I think it's kind of like a spank me Daddy I've been bad syndrome rather than actually seeking to improve. Now I primarily watch this stuff between semesters.
Well it's better to learn first how to study than just study for hours just to realize that you learned nothing. This can be really frustrating.
lmao i felt that
I want to thank you so much for this video Mr. Marty ❤️❤️❤️
I watched this video on my fresh year in 2019, I tried to follow your rules on my college career and this month I will be defending my undergrad thesis.
I'm not a smart person, I know that I wouldn't survive if I don't have the right mindset for college, and this is the only no nonsense video about study that I found.
Now, here I am, I got a gpa above 3.5/4.00, 3 internship experience, and I already offered a position as an associate consultant in a big 4 consulting company this December, before I graduated. (This is a huge accomplishment for me, since I'm coming from a rural area in a remote village).
For you guys who are watching him in your fresh year. It works (at least for me). Just put your faith into his talk and do it.
I'm a phd student, so I have to study a lot. So I start watching videos on how to study, and I keep watching and watching, and then it's midnight and I have to go to bed!
same but different field of study lol
Me too
This guy looks like the best professor in the world. I was able to keep up my attention the whole presentation. Wonderful! ✨👏😦
Same!!
Same here i swear ..
Exactly!
I took his first advice and divided my watching of this lecture into parts. I feel like i understood way better than if i had watched the whole this at once
I'm gonna to do like u
Whats the advice ?
This man is a genius, I've learned more in this hour than I have in high school and 4 years of university combined! Thank you, I can really use this information now I've started med school at the age of 31...
I also have adhd and was able to concentrate for the full hour, that's when you know this is a great teacher
Found this video about 6 years ago when I just couldn't pass my final accounting exams to obtain my professional qualification, used Marty's methods and became a fully qualified accountant 4 years ago. Still use his methods to this day even to learn documents and processes in work! You're the man Marty, thanks so much 🙏
ruclips.net/video/eMlXwdPsfP8/видео.html
congratulations!!!!!! proud of you 💞
The Professional Course is CA Or CPA
Wow, I'm also studying for my professional certification. But between school and my other responsibilities, I'm quite nervous of how well I'm going to do
@illumini seven7 Fighting ✊💙. Thank you
I graduated college 7 years ago. One thing I miss about school is those teachers that were really enthusiastic and passionate about what they taught. Marty seems like one of those great types of teachers. Cheers to you, Marty! And thanks for the useful knowledge!
the moment when a five minutes break becomes a whole week.!
so true
this is my story
my breaks still going... since 2011
Revan Onarsi lol Damn 😂
Uday Aggrawal ROFL
This needs to be spread and implemented in middle schools and high schools as well.
Indeed ...actually i shared ds to my students..
"If you haven't changed behavior, you haven't learned it." Wow, that's so true.
This is internet gold. Should be required viewing for everyone, but especially students.
👏👏
so true
cool
5 years ago I watched this months before I took the bar exams to improve my study/review habits. This is very effective (and I passed the bar). "The moment you start to slide, you're shovelling against the tide."- that stuck with me. It is important that this is done with focus and under a blocked schedule. And of course, personal treats is just as important too!
Me and a friend each reading a different chapter for 20 minutes than explaning it to each other while the other person tried to ask questions that the explainer could not answer - was fun and very effective also that way we could learn for hours.
Now thats smart
Love this! I find that one of the best ways to learn is to teach. Helping someone else to understand something can help you to better retain it as well.
I LOVE THIS GUY! His personality is amazing. I love how he cracks jokes while explaining things and also love how he simplifies everything! What a great dude.
ruclips.net/video/lqVEgVea4Dg/видео.html 😊
He didn't tell one of the most important ways of learning/teaching and yet he' s doing it the whole time. Humans remember and engage most through story telling. This is why his anecdotes are brilliant because we will remember his classes from the way he is sharing and communicating with us. It's why having a good teacher is also important and knowing the type of style you learn.
👍👍
he did though
*anecdotes. Unless the textbook is poisonous!
2:12
And I see it in every class I teach but how long do we teach? 50 minutes. And yet probably most of learning, if it's gonna happen, is in the first 25-30. Okay. I'm gonna talk about a person cause I also like to teach by anecdote. Woman named Janette. I was a junior at Western, she was a freshman, ...
So true...
I just noticed that after 18 minutes I started to go through the comments. It's exactly what he said about the time period one is able to concentrate. incredible. And very helpful to know.
I only got 15 minutes...
I only got to 53 seconds
i went straight to the comments
wonder what that says about me?
@@guenevere704 same ahah and well it was a good idea cause someone summarised it all
You got me! I went to the comments at 18:25
watched this 2 years back when i was in 11th grade, this man helped me score a significant score in my 12th final exam. So i can certainly say, if you apply what he said it’s inevitable that you’re going to succeed!
Study❎
See a 50 minutes video about how to study✅

SASkC . VDQAo
So.... did you implement any of it and win back some of that time?
@@anneworks I'ma try to
Lol same and I just watched the whole thing
just started watching, I will be severely disappointed if he doesn't take a break at the 25-30 min mark
How was it? It's actually quite easy to watch and not a heavy topic imo
Bro I've watched the full video without looking anywhere, he's not teaching rocket science c'mon
"It doesn't take a half hour break to recharge your batteries"
Me watching this after being on "break" for 6 hours: haha yeah
breaks are unreal!? lol
what kind of brain`yack's brain breaks??
I was a freshman 4 years ago in college. Graduated with a bachelor's degree in criminal justice-police science. I found this video when I was trying to study for my first then. I ended college my senior year with a 3.9 average just under a 4.0 with Magna Caum Laude award. This professor's tips work!
The professor is a gold mine, he'll be an inspiration for generations of students.
I'm 36 at the moment and even though I've managed to get an engineering first degree (locally) and a masters degree (abroad), I still wish I had seen this video once I got into secondary school because I would have done a whole lot better...the information within is so empowering. I always knew there were more effective ways to study and learn but they "hardly ever" teach that in this part of the world. To now listen to Dr Lobdell just feels like such a relief I've been waiting 25 years to experience. Thank you so much Marty for such an incredibly enlightening video.
"Students can only truly study for 25-30 minutes, yet our lectures are 50..."
Video about how to study: 59:55
He must be paid by the hour and/or love the sound of his voice. No respect for the time of his listeners.
@@richardnimo Still, I believe it was a very very useful lesson that would well repay the extra time spent by improving other classes.
@Officer Barbrady Please say "Nothing to see here"
@@ShinryuZensen Move along people, nothing to see here! Just read the comments.
@@richardnimo It's not a problem of respect for his listeners, an hour would be deemed very normal in terms of the amount of time a lecture takes up. You'd be very surprised if you did a quick google search on the average time a lecture takes and how long the longest college classes are.
I wish a lot of teachers would copy his style especially teaching via anecdotes, he seems really easy to engage with and genuinely learn from but maybe it’s just this topic
I don't think it's just this topic, and I agree with u, more teachers should copy his way of telling and teaching things. it's highly effective and easily understandable.
Yes!!
I was really upset due to my grades. And have taken a gap year to work on my self, identify my study methods. And improve my habits........ Thank you so much professor! I'll surely comeback after getting into my desired med school to thank you for the motivation and these really special methods! 🙌🙌
He killed it , wish he was my professor

Chris: Yeah: You're next!
killed it ? is it good or bad?

This professor was amazing and his students do not realize how blessed they are to have such a great and enthusiastic professor. Sadly, I remember my professors as egotistical and bitter and that doesn't foster any desire to learn.
Same thought I had. I truly hated most my college classes because my professors had no optimism.
@@techfan1017 well said! My professors lived in a bubble which made them detached from reality and extremely bitter.

OMG I can't believe I came across this video again , I watched it years back and got so much to learn from it but then I lost this video , I looked for it over over but couldn't remember professors name , Very relieved and happy to have found it in right time 😄
im a senior in high school, and last semester i would study until 3 in the morning and completely fail my tests, and carried a C average. but this semester, ive applied this method in the video and im currently sitting at an A average. tbh if i saw this video last semester i would have done so much better and my mental health wouldnt have struggled as much as it did
kaiya deppiesse I’m glad you found this video.
That's what I'm doing right now!!! I wish I could of seen this 2 weeks ago as I have 5 tests next week, first one starting in 2 days and I'm stressingggg

What he has taught us, trying to remember, 1) study 25 min after that moment you think you r not getting any thing, get up, take 5 min rest.
2) buy a lamp, and have study room.
3) sleeping 7-8 hrs
4) revision , try to revise moment you finish study
5) try to teach other by your own words.
6) try to make summary, and highlight most important line.
7) book reading method RQR3 STANds research question reading recite review
8) mnemonics
8.1 acronyms
8.2 forgot
8.3 images( most important)
I USED THESE TECHNIQUE IN MY LICENSURE EXAM AND BY GOD'S GRACE I TOP THE EXAM FOR CRIMINOLOGIST IN PHILIPPINES THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
I'm 24 and still undergraduate, and next semester I'm going to take my final exam which is relating about thesis, this is so helpfull, I really learned a lot of understand more how to have a better comprehension towards study material, I really very thankyou with this video so so help me alot.

What specifically grabs your attention in this presentation?
I'm about to cry, if only i had seen this video before starting University....
jeez im lucky then... im in uni next year.
Maxwell Moradi As someone who failed uni but then changed his ways and passed... Don’t memorise things. Try to understand them intuitively. Question them. And don’t study days before a test/exam... Study weeks prior. And the most important thing... Do past papers. Your first few papers, do them open book - look at the question, find the topic in your notes and answer it.
Goodluck :)
@@ImmyMoh Thanks! I'll keep all those things in mind!
@@ImmyMoh I agree with you here. Understanding and mastering concepts is always going to be more valuable than just straight trying to memorize things. That's why the teaching back method is so powerful. Super inspiring that you persevered and made it

copied
1.) Reinforcement vs. Punishment
• Things that are reinforced → we do more of
• Things that are punished → we do less of
◦ Don't turn studying into punishment
• The moment (your studying effectiveness) slides, take a break
• Break = something you enjoy (5 - 15min of petting your cat/dog)
• When you are done studying for the day, do something nice for yourself
◦ ex. drinking beer at a pub
• "Studying is a training. And if you train yourself, it becomes relatively easier"
------------------------------------
2.) Environmental Cues
• We are controlled by environmental cues
◦ ex 1. studying in a bedroom → bed calls you
◦ ex 2. studying on a dining table → food calls you
• Reconfigure & engineer your environment to minimize unproductive cues
• Reconfigure & engineer your environment to optimize productive cues
◦ ex 1. when your "study lamp" is on → study
◦ ex 2. when your "study lamp" is off → don't study
------------------------------------
3.) Learning Experience Optimization
• True learning experience changes your behavior
◦ Question: conversely, can your behavior change your learning experience?
• The more active you are in learning, the more effective
◦ What is "active in learning"? → recitation (ex. talking to yourself)
------------------------------------
4.) Rote Memorization
• Rote Memorization = memorization through repetition
◦ most of us are bad at it
◦ not very effective
------------------------------------
5.) Fact vs. Concept
• Q: So how can we be effective?
• A: Decide what you are learning
◦ am I learning a "fact"?
◦ am I learning a "concept"?
• "Sigmund Freud is the father of psychoanalysis"
◦ fact = Sigmund Freud is the father of psychoanalysis
◦ concept = psychoanalysis
• Futility of knowing facts
◦ "Yeah, so what?" → question raised to understand conceptually
◦ "What does it do?" → question raised to understand conceptually
◦ "How does it function?"" → question raised to understand conceptually
• "Can you put the concept in your own words? If you can't, you don't understand it."
• To understand something both factually & conceptually, make it meaningful to you
◦ "To make it meaningful is a struggle. Otherwise, it's a waste of time".
------------------------------------
6.) Make It Meaningful
• When you remember a piece of information, don't simply remember it.
• Remember its application & relative value (thus establishing meaning)
• ex. Remember 30 words (ex. water bottle) while:
◦ group 1: counting the vowels of the 30 words
◦ group 2: counting the application of the 30 words in a deserted island & their relative value from 1-5 scale
• Group 2 remembered 100% more words
------------------------------------
7.) Recognition vs. Recollection
• "If you look at it, go to the next one, read it, and then stop and go back to the one before, look up in the sky and in your own words, say what that was about" - drives recollection
------------------------------------
8.) Sleep
• "If you are not getting a good night, typically around 8 hours, you are not getting enough 'rem'; what you've studied doesn't become permanent"
• REM = Rapid Eye Movement.
It's a brain activity that consolidates & stores information. It occurs when you sleep.
•"There's no money to be made by telling people to get more sleep. So you don't hear about it on TV."
◦ ex. "Sleep is our biggest competitor" - Netflix CEO
------------------------------------
9.) Note Taking
• "The first moment you get after a class, ideally right after the class... sit down with your notes and expand on everything you jotted down. Give it depth. Flesh it out."
• 5 min investment of expounding & summarizing your notes can ensure permanent recall of a given information
------------------------------------
10.) Recitation
• How to reinforce your learning (recitation):
1. Ask other people
2. Teach other people
3. Talk out loud
• Other examples of recitation
1. Write it out
2. Monologue it out
• Study optimization:
◦ 80% = spend on reciting
◦ 20% = spend on reading
------------------------------------
11.) SQ3R
• SQ3R
◦ Survey
◦ Question
◦ Read
◦ Recite
◦ Review
• "If you intend to find something, you find it"
◦ Thus, survey a textbook (don't read) while questioning
------------------------------------
12.) Mnemonics
• Mnemonics: any system that facilitates recalls
• Examples of mnemonics:
1. Acronyms
2. Coined Sayings
3. Interactive images (the more absurd, the better)
4. Note-taking
As a "hardworking med student," I can get fidgety and have some "ADHD" type tendencies and so I tend to adopt 3 main strategies: 1 - bargaining with myself - ie. "I don't feel like studying right now... unless I get a cup of coffee.... or unless I choose a topic I'm most interested in today." This helps me find ways of convincing myself to do it. The second is: mixing it up, keeping it fresh; so if I'm not studying well at home, I go out, maybe to the library, or to a coffee shop. If I'm getting bored of reading an article or book, I watch a video or do a case scenario. Keep it interesting! And third: jump on opportunity. I study best in the morning so I utilize this motivation to get lots done early. But I'm flexible. If I was going to do something else later on but realize I'm in a studying mood now, I jump on it! And conversely, if I settle in for a long session and realize early on that my mind keeps jumping to something else, I may stop early and get back to studying later, and without any self-judgement. Taking a break to do something fun, as was taught in this video, works wonders! Cheers!
thanks! i wish the best for you!!
The early part where he identifies losing focus, clarifying what that means, and what to do about it, are very good. Whenever you have a functional procedure for something (that is repeatable), this is a permanent tool that you can always fall back on and increase your efficiency. With continued use, you can even further refine, adapt and evolve it.
A dedicated study area is largely a luxury, which is why I liked him pointing out something like a study lamp to try and fake out your state of mind. It'll be a luxury because life doesn't always go the way you want and you are often not in control of your environment, conditions or the people you have to work with. Again, you need to have some kind of procedure on how you study. Should have a core method, but then that core should be supported by various methods. Each method will be more applicable to a different situation or material.
As for methods, something that he said needs to be repeated. Notes. Notes are key. Take notes during, if possible. However, don't sacrifice the moment for notes. Fit notes in where you can, anyway you can. Immediately after, dump everything you can recall into your notes. Don't organize. Getting it on paper is the priority. If you have trouble, rewind, picture yourself and what you were doing. Try to relive the moment. Every sound, smell, facial expression, discussion, argument, emotion, whatever. Any association you can think of to hook and recall information. Retrieve it and write it down. Once it's all down, then you can organize it. Organize it, review it, and find out what's missing or confused.
For notes, I used to use the cornell method. I moved away from that and simply took notes on front only. Leave the back blank for either more notes (as my understanding improves) and/or various memory hooks such as drawings, examples or references that further clarify information. As your understanding improves, refine and rewrite. The front and back should then firm up to be more concrete. Text on front. Drawings, examples, graphs, etc on back.
Memory Hooks/Memory Palace. Stories, mnemoics, limericks, picture association, etc. This is an area of study on it's own and should be explored and see what works for you.
Book studying. This takes some preparation, but what I do is research what I have available for books on subject. Instead of using one book, use at least three. One book should be as basic as possible. Another book should be heavy on illustrations (or similar) and another should be more advanced (theory). Match up their chapters and study them simultaneously. It'll be like you are piecing together a jigsaw puzzle. Don't focus on facts, focus on how it works. Use the basic book to study overall purpose, the theory on how to explain why and the illustrations to give you a visual reference to tie them together.
Using the multi book method also breaks up the fatigue you get from looking at the same [book] material. Each book will also have some overlap, which is what you want since each author will present the material differently. You'll be forced to view the material from different angles/viewpoints. Comparing/Reconciling these different viewpoints will be their own exercise that will force you to think differently. You may also find that one author makes more sense than another in a particular area. Eventually, you pull everything you need from those books and consolidate it into your own. Then guard it like it's made out of gold, because people will try to steal it if they see it.
Don't underestimate your subconscious. While you are actively bombarding yourself, your subconscious will be chewing away at all this stuff and the differing viewpoints/material will help speed up the AH HA moment. When you move from one book to another, your subconscious will be picking up on these transitions and will be on the look out for things that stand out. It will eventually put them together. You'll be in the shower, making dinner or on the toilet, and eventually you'll be like: OMG.
No marker highlighting. Ever. If you absolutely have to, use a vertical line (in pencil) next to paragraph you need to look at. If you need something specific to pop out, you should be making notes in the margins (in your own words).
If you are very lucky, you'll eventually come across a book on the subject that will stand alone on it's own once you've made some margin notes. Unfortunately, they are pretty rare.

I see you listened to his lecture
He knows how to attract the attention of everyone and to make them engaged with the lecture. He knows how to be serious and fun at the same time. He’s amazing
Yep you are right.
11 years later still relevant. I DON'T KNOW how I got here, but I'm happy now course I'm about to start to study in university. actually 11 years ago I was 9 so I'm glad to have an opportunity to listen to this lecture ☺️
how i study smart :
1. Feeling not motivated enough
2. Waste my time with watching motivation videos till sleep
Ceren bienien has its only wasting time if you don’t learn or change from it.
It IS NOT wasting time if you actually TRY to put effort
Don't think that way. Because you are not learning from them. So try to write some notes while you are watching and then only one lecture would be enough for your whole career as a student
This video has literally changed my life! Thank you so much! It's been 6 weeks since I've started following much of this advice and it works so well, I still can't believe it. I still like to use highlighters when reading a textbooks because I like to be active when studying (writing is much more my cup of tea than reading) but I have now started to re-read all sentences that I marked as important after having marked them and it works really well.
Also the little study lamp trick is wonderful! I can't walk away from my desk when taking a short break because it'll take me like half an hour until I sit down again since I easily get distracted, but I turn off my lamp when taking a short break, turn the chair around and play a short game on my phone while having a timer for when to return to work. Also, since I've started taking short breaks whenever I feel tired I can go three times as long as when I started without getting tired. This is so cool! For the first time in my life studying has turned into a positive experience for me :)
Glad to hear that :)
Keep going!!

Study for about half an hour. (3 PM to 9 PM)
Take a break for about five minutes to do something fun.
Something fun = call a friend / talk to a child, parent, or roommate, enjoy some music
If you've studied till midnight and after the last 20-30 min of your studies, give yourself a big treat.
Big treat in the sense you can even have a beer (only if you like beer)
create a study area.
use a lamp to study and label it as Study Lamp. That means you're not allowed to use the lamp for other functions such as dressing, eating, etc...
try not to study in the bedroom if you have a separate study area.
If you can't arrange a study room, sit next to the bed where you can't see it. If not your bed will call you to lay upon it.
Do rote memorization. That means reading or saying something over and over again. But yet not the most effective or efficient way.
Understanding the name of a bone is a fact. understanding what it does in the body gets into a concept. So, do both facts and concepts at the same time when studying. Don't ever forget about the concepts, because learning or memorizing only facts is useless.
If you highlight important things on papers, books, just recognize it, then go to the next page or chapter and look up in the sky and tell yourself in your own words that what was it about in the previous chapter.
Sleep better (8 hours)
Try to take notes right after you learn something like after a class.
Ask for you friends or teachers if you don't quite understand about something, and don't forget to teach someone else who doesn't understand something you already know.
Do the SQ3R as a studing technique = Survey, Question, Read, Recite, Review
Start studying early if you have an upcoming exam, not night before the exam... You shoul dedicate your night before exam for resting.
Sometimes a 'saying' help you remember things.
what an awesome prof. I just wish we had more individuals like him, not just in college but in high school or even elementary.
This is actually really true. After 30 minutes of the vid, i needed to pause for a sec bcs i was already mentally spacing out. Very helpful, thank you so much
I got to 30:23 and started struggling understanding what he was saying first time round/getting distracted by objects in my room.
I’m at 37 min. I’m going to pause and finish it later. Really good stuff.
me at about 40 something.
I watched this until I started really thinking "This must be the 25-minute wall he was talking about, it must have been 25 minutes, it genuinely feels like it's probably been 25 minutes." But then I checked the RUclips progress bar and it was only at 12 minutes ::((
"Procrastinating by not studying but watching a video about studying." is what I was aiming for before watching this video...
After it, I learned much more than I thought was only an act of procrastination :>
00:09 The typical college freshman can effectively learn what they're reading within 25 to 30 minutes.

Professor you have great way of explaining
Cornell student here, how I study:
1. Cry
Do you like this essay I wrote for you, professor? I wrote it with my tears. (Spongebob college meme if you don't know. Instant way to de-stress.)
lmao!
Feels.
Singaporean hey！
Cornell has the highest suicide rate for a reason
