Found me another study tool

Published

Since I barely have time to study... I've decided to try something new. I started recording my notes from the ppts. we get in lecture. We are not allowed to record the lecture in class... so I had to record myself. To my surprise this has been a huge help. I'm a visual learner, so I did not think this would work for me... I was so shocked about how much information I actually retained by adding this to my study ritual:rolleyes:. I'm going to use this in place of my flash cards.... However, I'll continue to make drug cards and utilize them. Just in case you're wondering, about my study ritual: I usually skim all reading and complete the objectives before the class the starts. Than after lecture I review ppts. over and over and over again. I usually answer a ton of practice questions. I write up drug cards and study those. I also refer to the book PRN for clarification. I hate reading text books, however I pay close attn. to charts and diagrams. :mad:. I'm a A/B student so,so far this works for me. And ofcourse this is done between 35 hours a week at work and 16 hrs. E.O. weekend for clinicals, and 6hrs a week for lecture. Please share your ideas as well :) Good by and happy studying. :wink2::heartbeat

we cannot record either (other than AP). I record them myself, but I get more out of the actual reading them outloud part than the listening to them repeatedly part. So much for that $75 voice recorder I just bought.

.

I suspect this is also the reason it works so well for the OP, if she is a primarily visual learner--the act of reading it is what is helpful; the listening is probably just icing on the cake.

Whatever works, do it.
