No anon this pure and sole entertainment
>highlight text with a marker
>effective
no. notes are more effective if you write shit down yourself, but I don't think taking notes during a lecture has any utility. the only time it helps me remember shit is when I'm summarizing large amounts of theory and forcing my brain to connect the dots that way.
generally the only kind of active studying that works is doing math exercises, everything else is brainlet cope that could be replaced by more effective memorization techniques if necessary.
the best kind of learning is done through large assignments where you're forced to integrate new knowledge into something that works.
I realize now that lectures are for improving the notes you took reading before class
>is that even effective?
If its not STEM probably. I got away with reading the text a lot of the time in humanities classes just by taking lots of notes during the lecture. For my physics and math courses I did
Hello chad
I used that method to memorize all the English auxillary verbs for some stupid prize in sixth grade, and 25 years later I still remember the whole list.
This. I really don't take many notes. Just working through problems and effectively explaining and understanding why every step works is more than enough.
If anything, your homework SHOULD be your notes.
I used to spend a few minutes after lectires summarising what had been covered as a way to process it mentally.
>females
They're called women, anon
how do you know they are human?
messing around with words can bring out oddities
>women
>wo-men -> woe men
men that bring woe
>wom-men -> womb-men
men with wombs
>how do you know they are human?
Ingo swann wrote an interesting book about psychic sexuality
Back in the Ye Olde English, man used to be a gender neutral term - wereman and wifman (wif being connected to wife) were used for males & females respectively. The were prefix eventually got dropped for males in general usage, though survives in the word werewolf. Wifman gradually shifted to woman.
If you are doing Humanities it's a maybe, if you're doing stem probably not

parasocial scammers
It's literally just simp bait and narcissism.
highlighting text is moronic, just make notes with only essential information on it
I think people do it so they can instantly find the information once they get to the page.
Since there is a study thread i need help guys
My med finals are in 2 weeks and i havent studied a good deal of stuff what is the most effective way to cram
Try to mock lecture the topic you are trying to cram in, your stupid monkey brain will recall it easier if you do this than just blindly memorizing it.
>mock lecture
What do you mean?
Like explain it to myself?
Basically ask yourself how you would explain the subject to another student; reviewing the subject as a teacher helps a lot.
Isnt that how studying should be done in general?
I don't think it's the best for everything. For exemple lists like side effects or whatever I think brute force repetition is the best, but for more complex subjects it works well in my opinion
this
but with a sing-song sarcastic voice.
This is. Also if you have access to practice exams, past exams, or assignments, go through each one and keep track of how many times each type of question is asked. Then go back through them and answer the most common type of question on every exam/assignment it shows up on, then do the same for the second most common question, then the third, etc. I aced the final exam on a class I was failing using this method
quizlet flash cards. test until mastery
It can be effective for highlighting what information is important to organize what you need to study. It isn’t very useful on its own though. The best way I found to study is to physically write out the information you need to remember because it sticks in your head much better than passively highlighting.
>highlight text with a marker all day?
........Why can't they just write their own notes?
The only effective way to study is to write out all the information from memory without any notes to help you
Certainly write down the information as that cements it into your brain a bit, but you should be able to close your books and notes and, given a topic, write down everything necessary to know about that topic from memory
So many people have terrible "study" habits by looking at something, going "yep that looks familiar, I must know it". But recognition is not the same as recall. If you can't write it out from memory, you're doomed to fail.
Also 10+ hour day study is stupid as shit and reeks of laziness and putting things off until the last minute. I got a BS degree many years ago, I studied every day a few hours and partied every weekend and easily passed all of my classes. If you put it off until the last minute, that's on you, and it should not be admired that you have to study 10+ hours to make up for it.

This 1000%
People ogling at le 24 hour study sessions don't know that 99/100 times it's just out of necessity from being a procrastinating tard
