Document Summary
How cognitive science can help you get through school. Student who take notes by hand remember more than students who take notes on computers. People who write by hand are forced to process it and summarize leads to deeper processing. People can"t do it: don"t listen to music, watch videos, or sit where you can hear or see people talking or walking by. It feels like you can do it, but your performance drops. If you"re spending fewer than 20 hours per week studying, you should not be complaining about your marks: most students do not study enough. Time management: key to success: structuring your time, make a to-do list, marking every half an hour with a different task. Flash cards are great: example: anki, constant reminders will make you remember better. Students who went for a walk before the study period recalled 25% more words: walk, study, sleep, repeat. Prof: jim davies: writing is key to thinking clearly.
