    Hey friends. So this is a 3 hour evidence-based studying course that I filmed a few years ago and put on Skillshare, but now I want to make it available to everyone for free. In this class, I'll take you through the well-kept secrets of how to study effectively and organise your workflow to be ready for exams when they come around. We'll also discuss why studying effectively and efficiently is one of the best ways to maintain a work-life balance.
    We'll break down (1) how to understand our content using techniques like the Feynman Method, Active Recall and various note-taking strategies, (2) how to remember our material with Spaced Repetition, Interleaving and various memory techniques, and (3) how to maintain focus while studying, from developing the motivation and discipline to do the work, to taking appropriate breaks and maintaining a healthy work-life balance.

    1 - can you explain it to a collegue? Can you explain it to a 5 year old?
    2 - active recall: your brain is a muscle - train it by testing!
    3- notes - summaryzing is controvercial.
    Alli's theory:
    *in class*
    - handwritting is better than typing
    - Helps you keep awake
    *out of class*
    - consolidate different sources ( he uses notion)
    - you don't need to take notes for every class
    - Cornell notetaking sistem is useful for active recall (with the help of notion for it)
    - you can turn thise notes into flashcards
    4 - scooping the subject
    - understand where the subjects fits into the bigger picture
    - subcategorize the topics
    **** 🎓 importance of understanding
    Coherence withing your mind
    5 - finding a syllabus for yourself
    - you have to create a limit to your knowledge ( you can't know everything babe)
    - master the syllabus rather than gather more information
    6 - remembering and spaced repetition
    - the more you repeat the topic, the longer it takes to forget it (but remember, it's a SPACED repetition)
    - the more effort you put, you memorize better
    7 - retrospective timetable on notion for revision
    - you decide on the day what you are going to do
    - you can do it on notion
    8 - spaced repetition journal
    - alternate to revision timetable
    - predetermined subject
    - try it like: 1 week, one month
    9 - Interleaved repetition
    - mix topics to make it harder
    - brain is a muscle, making it harder to make it stronger!!
    10 - rereading
    - there are better ways to study, bc rereading is very passive
    11 - how to highlight effectively
    - low utility
    - helps you concentrate
    - it's better to highlight than to reread something already highlighted
    12 - flashcards
    - use anki ❤❤ or google sheets
    - usually it's better to make your own
    - do it consistently
    - isolated facts
    - essay exam: you can memorize chunks of essays
    DO NOT:
    - don't make flashcards of everything: only a about what you really have to know, or what you didn't get it right
    - don't make it after you only studied the subject once
    - use cornell method for more information (aka easier stuff, or what u don't really need to know)
    Google sheets for flashcards:
    - free
    - fast to create
    - color code
    - hide the answer putting the letters in white
    ** my personal opinion: doesn't look as fun as flashcards, probably woudn't do it
    - is good to do questions in order (good for clinical study of diseases)
    - better to visualize the lacks of knowledge
    - low commitment
    - flshcards: isolated facts
    Google sheets: general understanding (like whats the deal with...)
    13 - mind maps
    - broad understanding
    - where it rit

    The only video you'll ever need about studying. Wish I would've had this when I started uni. The ones that helped me the most by far are spaced repetition and active recall. It got a uni degree while attending barely any lectures. This is because you're literally practicing what you do on an exam with exam recall and spaced repetition makes sure it gets solidified into your memory. Can't recommend those two techniques enough.

    - active recall (test yourself)☆
    - take notes
    - understand the broad picture first and then narrow down
    2. remember (forgetting curve)
    - develop a syllabus/ outline to limit urself

The transparency and structure, the conciseness of EVERYTHING you need to know about studying effectively and the evidence-backed opinions and information (so it’s not just some flimsy “this worked for me” type of vid) are what make this masterclass spectacular. I appreciate you making it free a lot Ali as in the education system during school you aren’t really ever taught how to actually study, except for the typical, take notes, re-read them and do past papers and make colourful flashcards if you like.

    Hi, Ali! I sincerely appreciate your videos. I recently began studying pharmacy this year, and I'm thinking back on both my academic and personal achievements. I genuinely believe that I am at the lowest point in my life. Sleep deprivation, excessive procrastination, disorganized habits, uncontrollable stress, low grades, and the possibility of my scholarship being revoked are all contributing factors to my uncontrollable stress. I also find it difficult to concentrate, feeling as though I have wasted my study time and am now far behind my classmates. These thoughts make me feel depressed about my current situation. And finding your channel sparked what's inside me to strive the greatest version of myself. I am really thankful to you for offering this free course, and other videos.

    Thank you Ali for such an interesting content.
    I watched till 45 min. And what did I learn!?-
    Active recall.
    Test yourself frequently.
    Hand writing is better than typing.
    Scoping the subject.
    Focus on "more" not on "everything".
    Spaced repetition to combat against forgetting curve.
    Use time tables and check lists.
    I will continue tomorrow.
