1. Don't skim the chapters. Take the time to understand it. If you don't understand the concepts, then you haven't learned anything. When that exam comes up, you'll have a difficult time answering the questions. 2.Teachers test comprehension not vocab or just highlighted concepts. Again, I cannot stress enough the importance of comprehension. 3. If you get bad grade and say because you weren't born good at it, its because you're not working at it or practicing enough..not because you weren't born good at it. it the time and hard work. Naturally, those two do not guarantee success. 4.Weaker students don't study as much as stronger students. They think they don't have to study as hard because they think they're smart already.
The four beliefs that make you stupid (for my chem 101 homies): 1. Learning is fast 2. Knowledge is composed of isolated facts 3. Being good at a subject is a matter of inborn talent 4. I'm really good at multi-tasking Metacognition: a student's awareness of their level of understanding of a topic.
I found this out the hard way in college, and once I got it, there was a huge increase in my academic performance. Now I teach Elementary and try to get the kids to develop this sense of awareness at a much earlier age.
Intermittent repetition is the best way for you to retain the information. Continuous study the night before may work to pass the exam the next day, but you will not retain the information. That's why advertisements are so effective, and we remember their commercials. At 2:09 he reinforces this idea. I hope this helps.
I have at one point and time was over confident and clearly was put back into place as soon as i got my results back, I now no longer get overly confident and now read everything that is assigned. Great video.
A very good video. I truly realized how bad my studying habits are after entering nursing school. I am in the BSN program right now and for the pre classes I took like Anatomy/ physio I never had to read the book. I just paid attention in class and went over slides. Now I am realizing to truly have a great understand of any material especially for nursing school it is important to read everything. It takes me the entire day to get through two chapters.
Bravo, Dr. Chew. This series of 5 videos is outstanding! The points made are valid and eye-opening. I see so many students struggle at college because of the reason you've identified. A wise student would benefit from implementing these strategies immediately.
Anyone can get an A on an exam, we are all capable of doing it, why doesn't every get A's though? Because studying is simply a GRIND, no one wants to spend hours and weeks in advance studying topics, most students get distracted within 5 minutes after opening a book or they cram chapters of material in the last two days. The way to success in school is slow, continuous hours of studying ALL material weeks in advance of the exam date. Doing well is a huge study grind, that's all it is
+CommentAccount interesting points ,if anyone else wants to discover how can i focus my mind try Megarno Fast Focus Magician(just google it ) ? Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my co-worker got excellent success with it.
But grinding is so much more fun in games where all I have to do is kill that pesky monster that keeps running away or spawns and gets killed by the other eighty guys nearby all waiting for the same thing.
So I just watched these 5 videos for my Biology 1 Class. This video is helpful and shows how bad my study skills are.. I will attempt to do better now but its just so hard. Some teachers are just out to make life a living hell just because they had teachers that made their life hell in school. It all depends on who you have as a professor..I try to find the best ones that are easy and make it easy to understand.. I feel like sometimes teachers are asking for too much when most of us probably wont see/need the info in life. Well I am going to try these skills and hope to pass atleast with a C+ because I graduate this semester!
@Bassil zzstu Adam Hi. lol I ended up with the final grade of a D, I was so upset but I still got my associates degree I was in the liberal arts transfer program at a community college. I havent went back to school since 2014 though just trying to make life out of being a graphic designer although i dont make enough to be happy lol. Thank You hey I hope things turn out for you also! wish you the best of luck man
Oh my gosh, can he get more exciting than this with his mellow tone voice almost putting me to sleep?! I came here on my own wanting to learn, oh my goodness, please sir, help me!!
At 2:50 "You just need to work really hard." No, literally, some of us are physically incapable of the levels of math expected of us. Source: I have dyscalculia.
Im sure for some people this helps out alot, but for me this video (and the others) pretty much states the generals of studying that should be common sense if you have ever gone through middle and high school, and states it in a fancy, more intellectual way. Idk if its just me...
To be fair public schools don't really do anything to incentivize learning how to study If you show up to your classes and aren't retarded you can pass about 90% of them
Excellent! Well done, a great resource. I'll be promoting these for many of our students. It's so important that we promote some level of metacognition for students, so they realize that studying is much more about quality, not quantity. Two hours studying ineffectively does not equal two hours of effective studying...not even close. Much better to put what we know about learning and psychology to work!
This is not only an excellent presentation describing cognitive theory and learning strategies...but a video presentation that utilizes the full benefits of video media as a delivery mechanism. Dr. M Eastern Oregon University
They are other factors that affect a student progress, unnecessary distractions, unrealistic expectations from certain groups, spiritual forces and unnecessary attack, jealous and hateful professors and students. The best student can fail due to external factors, Thank you Dr.
thank you sir, but I gotta say, it's sad that we didn't really get to practice our metacognition in hs, all we got was a simple recall of everything we discussed 🙄 so much for preparing us for the future
Of all those beliefs that make me stupid, over-confidence in multi-tasking would have to be the biggest for me. I've always had the tendency to get very distracted very easily while trying to get something done, but I refuse to use it as an excuse while studying or learning or anything else. The only thing I'm confident in is that every day I'm getting a little better at fixing that weakness as well as all my other ones. :)
I'm glad that this video mentioned the fact that doing well in school does not come with inborn talent! Anyone can do well at any subject, regardless of their inborn talent.
Thank you so much. “The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace.” (Numbers 6,24- 26)
It seems to me that believing one isn't good at a subject ought to be explored; it's complicated, particularly when considering the reasons a student may have for their belief, and the chance that their belief is based on a logical deduction that the subject is arbitrary.
Professor Chew's face actually made me laugh at 1:50 . The simple look of disbelief wasn't only spot-on, but amusing because I'm pretty sure we've all given that same look at someone claiming something similar to the student's own claim. "No you didn't, what you really meant is you half-did what you were supposed to do, and then flaked out on the rest."
When I started college last year, I absolutely underestimated how much work it is to teach stuff to yourself, because at school I only had to review my notes one or two days before an exam. But now I know learning is different from revising...it takes lots of time and maybe also discussion and rethinking. However, I find that colleges don't reinforce students in understanding concepts, because they have few teachers and use MC exams.
I would like to add 2 tips that are part of the memory on the learning act: The psychologist P. B. Ballard discovered something interesting about the reminiscence phenomenon. He discovered through experimental tests that the human remembers information more efficiently some time after the assimilation of the information. For example, what you are reading here, you might remember 30% of it after you finish reading, however, you might remember 70% of it tomorrow.
This is great for me because i now know how to progress in my studies tecniques.now i know that i should study trying to comprehend the concept of what i study. Ana Isla
“Always plan for assignments to take longer than you think”- I fell short on some assignments because I believed it would’ve been short and easy. Now, my main priority is time management.
i wish i could attend all your lectures.. but then there's no way i could do that from all the way here..that plus the costs.. i hope youll continue t post more of your lectures here.. theyre a big help. thanks so much. for more " Elumpa simple studying alchemist " search on google
After spending hours on internet I think what the hell I am doing with my life, serious studies from tomorrow. But that never happens. " power to learn = 1/ number of days left for exam " More days means less concentration, less days means You are a memory champ. :p And that's how my life goes. No matter how hard I try to change, I just can't stop myself. Can anyone help.
I have the same problem, and i would also really like some help. I always leave sudying for the last day. Also, I've noticed that sometimes i get exelent grade without studying at all. How should I actually study for an "A"?
What I do is; read the information slowly from a textbook- write the key points/summary in a notebook- do it for the entire textbook- then revise the key points from the notes and never use the textbook again(only for reference). Is this sufficient because I find it works but very time consuming while my lazy friends don't do anything and get 10-20% higher grades than me?
Change from 100% summarizing (transcribing mainly) to: 70% summarizing and 30% reflecting and applying knowledge to new 'problems' such as you might see on the test. Make up your own tests and you will have a preview of the real test!
The problem is, even in university there are still the tests prevalent that just check for definitions and how much you memorized of the subject matter. I would prefer the exams to test for comprehension and understanding, but those are more time-consuming to make. That's why they will never outnumber the abovementioned.
When you read you should open up an blank document. Outline the page you just read in the book by memory. If you can't that means what you read didn't stick. I used to passively read a lot too. Also once your done outlining just review that a few days before the exam and you should be ready.
I'm a student at VVC in Victor Ville and I took math 180 I think is the college Algebra and I did not good cause it was to much work and it was a hybrid class and it was really different for me to learn.
i failed highschool 3 times. i was bulimic and depressive for 9 years. now i am 22 recovered and i am trying to finish it. Never thought of it to be so hard to finish this last year :( i just want to past this so bad! i will work hard and archieve it!!!!
Good for you, work hard and move on. I'm back in school after 30 years of finishing high-school. It's never too late to do something you have a passion for. Keep moving on dude...
I still have on question though: does listening to music help you focus? Because it makes sense to me that when listening to music, background noise is reduced, therefore you can focus better on your study material. But on the other side if you are listening to your favorite music then you will most likely to sing along or humble the beat. So should you, or should you not listen to music whilst studying?
You tube is a great source of study music. Baroque music is said to be the most effective for improving concentration. It is pretty simple to search for "Study music" or "Baroque study music" on RUclips.
I listen to classical and chew a certain flavor gum when I'm studying, when i take my test, I chew the same gum... it brings me back to what i studied because my brain relates the flavor with the information.weird. I know.
It is sad that a student in high school gets so little preparation for college~ in learning, life in general. We should be asking ourselves why this is!
@anonymous4chantroll Depends on the type of college you go to. None of my college classes have extra credit... Also if you go to a specialized institution chances are you wont end up taking as many classes you don't want to as in high school...
Good afternoon... How would you classify someone who is confident that he studies alot, using several different strategies. I too am confident that I know and understand the work, I have done extra lessons with 3 different tutors which also tell me they can see I understand the work. Although when it comes to test time, my confidence is completely diminished and after the test I feel like I barely made 30%. (I haven't got my mark for the most recent test which I feel went terribly). When I do past tests or test examples I seem to get them right, it is only when I am in the test that it seems the questions given are questions I have never seen before. I have also been to the University Physiologist, which said it was my study method and went on a course showing us different methods which I have also applied, but to no avail. Is there anything different I can do to help me pass my tests?
Going to bed early, is also a good trick, cause the (stress) hormone cortilso in the body has a circardian rythm that starts to get higher at about 2 in the morning and then has a peak at about 8:30 in the morning, making you more awake and able to focs.
I find that putting off studying makes you later on feel more inclined to repeat the process. Therefore, when i need to study, I immediately do it not waiting for an excuse to do it later. Its hard to begin to study, but once you start, you just naturally breeze through it, that's just my experience anyway.
who else is here because you had to come here for homework

Me

who else got distracted by reading the comments and delayed their study time

Me right now.
hahaha yep im like 40 deep
I said to myself. Oh gosh, now I’m here distracted in the comment section.
I was multitasking as I watched this video and had to watch it over again because I didn't take in the key points lol
I did the same...very true
xD Busted - Same over here haha

1. Don't skim the chapters. Take the time to understand it. If you don't understand the concepts, then you haven't learned anything. When that exam comes up, you'll have a difficult time answering the questions.

Thank you.
Are these the 4 misconceptions?
Kendya Reyes point 4 is great,also known as metacognition
There is one more about "Multitasking" actually.
I don't know. That might be true in most cases. But there is probably some people who really don't understand.
i'm watching this because my school told me to do so 😂😇
hahaha same
same
Me four.
And did the school end now. You are from which country.
I thought it said "Stanford" I was like "YES!" when i read it said "Samford" I was like "OKAY!"
Oh crap HAHAHAH I just realize...... after read ur comment!
I should probably get back to studying . . .
+Anthony Valparaiso me too
+AbdulHalim Mire me three
metacognition is a student recognizing how much they know and understand about the topic that is being studied.
The four beliefs that make you stupid (for my chem 101 homies):
1. Learning is fast
2. Knowledge is composed of isolated facts
3. Being good at a subject is a matter of inborn talent
4. I'm really good at multi-tasking
Metacognition: a student's awareness of their level of understanding of a topic.

Describe what you learned in this video and specify how you can use what you learned to help you better prepare for the first exam.
Study high, take the test high, get high scores

That was exactly what kept coming to mind whenever this guy or my instructor talked about metacognition.

I like the music at the end, psychologically making you think you had a good time. Master at the craft xD.

Is this sufficient because I find it works but very time consuming while my lazy friends don't do anything and get 10-20% higher grades than me?
Change from 100% summarizing (transcribing mainly) to: 70% summarizing and 30% reflecting and applying knowledge to new 'problems' such as you might see on the test. Make up your own tests and you will have a preview of the real test!

When you read you should open up an blank document. Outline the page you just read in the book by memory. If you can't that means what you read didn't stick. I used to passively read a lot too. Also once your done outlining just review that a few days before the exam and you should be ready.

Positive correlation, its ok strong, sorta linears, looks like residual line work best for this graph
I still have on question though:
does listening to music help you focus?
Because it makes sense to me that when listening to music, background noise is reduced, therefore you can focus better on your study material.
But on the other side if you are listening to your favorite music then you will most likely to sing along or humble the beat.
So should you, or should you not listen to music whilst studying?
Listen to classic music. Avoid words with lyrics
You tube is a great source of study music. Baroque music is said to be the most effective for improving concentration. It is pretty simple to search for "Study music" or "Baroque study music" on RUclips.
I listen to classical and chew a certain flavor gum when I'm studying, when i take my test, I chew the same gum... it brings me back to what i studied because my brain relates the flavor with the information.weird. I know.
Yessss classical music is great. I listen to solely piano works, and the compositions by Chopin and Liszt are awesome.
Yes. Music is very relaxing for me.
It is sad that a student in high school gets so little preparation for college~ in learning, life in general. We should be asking ourselves why this is!

(I haven't got my mark for the most recent test which I feel went terribly). When I do past tests or test examples I seem to get them right, it is only when I am in the test that it seems the questions given are questions I have never seen before. I have also been to the University Physiologist, which said it was my study method and went on a course showing us different methods which I have also applied, but to no avail. Is there anything different I can do to help me pass my tests?
Going to bed early, is also a good trick, cause the (stress) hormone cortilso in the body has a circardian rythm that starts to get higher at about 2 in the morning and then has a peak at about 8:30 in the morning, making you more awake and able to focs.

I find that putting off studying makes you later on feel more inclined to repeat the process. Therefore, when i need to study, I immediately do it not waiting for an excuse to do it later. Its hard to begin to study, but once you start, you just naturally breeze through it, that's just my experience anyway.
This guy is such a comedian!
