1. Introduction
What are study skills? How do you learn more in a given time? This video is an overview on study skills. We talk about different types of knowledge, reading skills, how to build good study habits and use your time efficiently.
Three types of study sessions
Most study techniques belong in one of three categories:
Before: Overview, preview, planning.
During: Active learning.
After: Repetition and reflection.
3. How to read course literature
Reading academic literature isn't like reading fiction. We need to read course books in several steps or stages. We start by familiarising ourselves, then we go into the details.
4. Get it done: Building habits and routines
Study skills are not just about learning, it's also about studying regularly without putting things off for tomorrow. What techniques can you use to build regular habits and avoid procrastination?
5. Problem solving
To study mathematics or technical courses is a bit different since a lot of the knowledge is about applied problem solving, in addition to theoretical understanding. This is a practical skill, which we have to approach in the right way.
6. How to remember what you learn
Memory is not a fixed quantity. We can improve our memory power by using well known strategies. Clever association techniques combined with good repetition strategies makes all the difference.
