      I am a junion taking AP physics in highschool and I wanted to ask how you were able to ask all these questions during the lesson, as well as how are do you not get lost in just making more and more questions if for example you dont understand a topic and that topic is needed to move onto the next topic and since you dont understand it you are then not able to engage in the topics and so on. Should I just make sure I know the topic fully before moving on? or should I save all the questions for later and try and study on my own time?

    • @astroallycat
      @astroallycat Год назад

      If its related to the topic then yes probably a good idea to ask before moving on as you won't understand whats next, but be careful of getting behind, make sure you keepp up to date with the next topic. Repetition is also key, going over it before, during lectures and after lectures and using different materials is a good way to find new ways of describing the same topic and one way might click. My advice is keep going, ask questions and revisit when there is time@@fefington

    Sam, I’m not try to get overly dramatic but your videos blessed my life and really saved me from a life shipwreck. My story. I’m a 42 year old. I just retired from the United States Marines as a senior officer. I have undergraduate degrees in Mechanical Engineering and a Masters in Computer Science. I know how to learn and achieve. However, during my career I was injured in Iraq and have PTSD. Fast forward to now since retiring I’ve been pursuing my long time goal of becoming a dentist. Since it was 22 years from undergrad I decided to take all the prerequisites again fresh to do well on the DAT and well...just be a good student. My first semester was horr-r-ble! I barely passed. Barely passed subjects with skills I demonstrably mastered before. I was depressed and about to quit. I notice on my own how disorganized I was relative to my undergrad. I have a box that contains all my notes and exams from my engineering school. Neat and arranged. Going back to school today I was all over the place; total disaster. I didn’t mention I have 5 daughters now! Lol At any rate the long period of time away from school, the PTSD, the new life responsibilities, and disorganization point to some real executive functioning challenges. I have a much to work on the front but this semester as been so much better. Why? I watched all your videos and it motivated me. I got the IPad Pro 12.9 and I settled on Goodnotes even though I bought both apps. This organization is a game changer. Your video about combining notes, slides, and personal study were phenomenal. I don’t get as stressed out and I feel like I’m actually learning. I’d like to send you a study guide I easily made on Goodnotes; I’m kinda proud of it. Lol. Keep doing what you’re doing. I think you’re gonna be the Khan Academy of executive functioning. 🙏😃❤️ Ron

    This guy not only gave us a method for note-taking, but he also basically summarized how to study, learn, and even solve problems in our daily life that have nothing to do with school, and he did so in a smooth, organized, and coherent way. I really like this video and everything about it, from the film shots, to the explanation, to the editing, to the presentation. It's obvious he puts effort and thought into what he's doing and throughout the whole video I was just sitting there nodding my head. Great content, well done. ❤

    I’m definitely going to return to this video going into college in a couple months. I’ve done well in high school by just “coasting” by, but I want to go into college with a fresh mindset with my note taking and study habits. This video, better than most others, has helped me understand how I can best succeed with new note taking habits and ideas. It also makes me even more excited to utilize my new iPad Pro in lecture. Have you experimented with typing notes/questions you may have with a keyboard set up? If so, how does that relate to your overall process?

So before teaching them about the subject, i now absolutely will adress the methods that could be helpful for them. But what really hits me about your video is not the advice on how to take proper notes, but it is your approuch to learning (non-digital or digital).

In my Bachelors and some work experience of writing manuals, I excelled at breaking things down and even sometimes working with a quesiton-approach. Thank you so much for reminding me of this and even explaining how to actually apply it in a flexible and personal way. This is the BEST video I have been watching on note taking/processing new information and learning. One of my biggest struggles is that I always approached my notes as "having to be perfect" from the start. But it makes totally sense - knowledge and learning evolves and hence we need multiple versions! So happy I found you :)

And if you cannot answer the question that means you do not fully know the content well enough and you have to review and study until you can.

    Hey man, I want to thank you. I got my first good grade in math in about 4 years. I've never got any good grades and I tried a lot of things, but this helped me. Keep up the great work and you got a new subscriber:)

    I hope that I can be motivated by this video in my university life 4 yrs ago so that I would not be overwhelmed by all those knowledge and felt like get drowned. The problem is not only about the speed and depth of learning, but also the reluctance to learn. Finally, my gpa is somewhere closed to 3, which is not satisfying for me. I feel like I have wasted lots of opportunity during those years. I can absorb much more knowledge at that time, but it missed those chance. Through those years of working as an assistant civil engineer, I think programming is my true love. I am going dive into the sea of computer science now. Thank you so much for your video. Although I wasted so much time, but learning is a life time process, I think it is not too late for me to start it all over again, especially after I have overcome my fear.

    I tutor my friends’ kids/help them with homework. They’re at the late primary school level, so they’re not attending lectures and taking notes. One of the “tricks” I’ve taught them is to go to the questions first before reading the material. I think this better engages them with the reading material-it turns reading into a hunt for answers.

    in my times, all we had was college rule paper, a pencil, different color highlighter. by the time i changed my highlighter color, i missed so much of the lecture. you’re lucky you’re going to school during these times. good luck in your studies. thanks for the great video.

    My friend, thank you very much. I don't really know how to thank you. I don't want to be a drama. But this video made me want to cry. It opened my mind to points that I hadn't seen before. I watched this video a lot and I think I will continue watching.

    One of the most insightful videos I’ve ever watched on RUclips, it starts out as a concern that is so relatable and you end up having the applicable solution by the end. The best 18 minutes ever! THANK YOU!!!!
