For all you brainiacs, students and geeks...

depends on how you learn best. everyone is a little different. for me, i read and take notes and highlight information as Im reading. i have to write stuff down to get it. my reading comprehension is horrendous. which is weird, cuz IM a total genius.

lol, you see that's it, I'm a total genius as well but it's like i get all uptight when stuff is not making sense.
I highlight, but I never write shit down. I just think my brain will recall everything.
Now I'm into the real formal medical stuff and I panic

I'm going to write it all down

thanks

For me, I learn best by speaking out load.

I'm assuming you have several diagrams that you are memorizing. Read each label out loud. Focus on pronouncing the word correctly. Form a sentence with the word. Say the word to your self a few times, without looking at it. Then write the word down, as you are saying it out loud. - Kinetic, Audio, Visual learning all wrapped into one!

Reading the text out loud is also very good. It makes it impossible to haze over and start scanning the words, or not paying attention.

Then, when you think you have a good understanding of the material. Try and teach someone else what you have learned.

Great advice, I sometimes read out loud. Of course when I know something, I am so friggin self cenetered I make everything about me and talk about it over and over. So that part is NOT a problem...haha!

If you were a genius, you'd write shit down.

Hmmm... Where to start?

1) Pre-read before class. Don't go into great detail or try to tackle it all -- just get familiar with the general info. Don't use class as your first time to see specific material.

2) Get to class a few minutes early every day. Get settled-in and comfortable. Review where you left-off last time in your notes.

3) Don't transcribe what's on the board or what's on his charts. Read everything and write it in your notes your own way. If he's doing a chemical reaction, reverse the order or the products. If he's listing structures, write them in an order that's more meaningful to you.

4) Fit things into organizational taxonomies. If there are five reactions to learn, but two are just variations of each other, learn them that way.

5) Write everything multiple times. Your exams are written, right? Then write as you study as if you're doing it for the exam.

6) Study and practice problems like you would for the exam. Use the same pen or pencil. Sit upright (none of this couch studying).

That's all I got for now. Good luck!

so sleeping with the teacher is not an option?

There are no formal classes, I'm doing this with a private school and a private tutor. Hence why I'll be in the poor house after this is all said and done.
I would sleep with my tutor but I think he's gay ;-)

True, I never even write down amazing recipes I create. I then go back to try to recreate and forget what I did the time before

I'm like an idiot sevant!

Sleeping with the teacher is always the first option!
