Now that I am halfway through my first semester, I have my second wind. Only 7 weeks to go! I want to share some study hacks that have helped me through this semester. Hopefully, they will help you too.
Listing to lectures on the go is a great study hack especially with how easy it is now because of smartphones! You can get your cardio in and get your learn on!
To build on top of that, I started using Microsoft "Office Lens" and "OneNote" to snap pics of the whiteboards from lectures as well. I think it is available for both andriod and apple. I find that listing to lectures and reviewing the whiteboards within 24 increases my retention.
Thanks for the hack... keep up the great vids!
I can't believe that I'm half way through my first semester of graduate school! I've been so focused on completing all my assignments, while simultaneously trying to keep my head above water. It feels like once I'm done with one exam there's another exam to prepare for.
In this weeks vlog I decided to share 5 study hacks that I have used throughout this semester.
Some highlights include
Study Hack #1: Dictate your notes and/or papers to your computer - (MAC Computer Dictation Instructions)
