Higher Education
Use your body: Learn actively – gesticulate, say it out loud, stand up, pace about, and act it out – almost as if you’ re teaching a class or tutoring a student.
Join a study group: Join a group of students( preferably from your own course of study) who are serious about their studies so you can motivate each other and bounce ideas and your understanding of the concepts off each other, etc.
How to recall if you’ re struggling
• Recall related information or brainstorm around it.
• Work on something entirely different; this could cue up the information you need to remember.
• Use the information: Teach it, review it regularly or talk about it. This maintains memory accessibility.
• Don’ t panic: If you have processed it, you will be able to remember it. Stay positive, remain calm, and keep going. Do other tasks if necessary.
