(also see “Effective Study Techniques” handout)
Try to remember a forgotten fact by association - when or
where you first heard it or read it, or some closely related facts.
Use memory aids such as mnemonics whenever possible. (These
are explained in the “Effective Study Techniques” handout)
Earlier we mentioned using a notebook for formulas etc.
Cover one side of the formulae with a piece of paper and try to write the part
of the equation you have covered. Remember to test the first side of the
equation as well. Flash cards can also be used. These are especially good for
formulae and learning languages. Put the question on the front and the answer
on the back.
Diagrams can be helpful e.g. a time chart for historical
events.
Often it helps to explain verbally to a friend the main
points of various concepts within your course. By acting as the teacher and not
relying on written material you get the concept clearer in your mind.
Don't forget
to review any practical experience, excursions or work done outside the class
if these are going to be included in exams. (You should have already included
any important points from these in your summary of each topic).
