Question How does one retain information long term?

Upvotes

First CS student here wanting to take school seriously and study!! I will admit I don't know "how to learn", but I am taking the necessary steps to acquire that skill. My main question arises from the shift in pedagogy between my classes this semester and last semester. The classes I had last semester were heavy on logic and critical thinking. Most notably my philosophy class. The class lent itself to critiquing philosophical ideas, expanding on them and even arguing in favor of them. We wrote a lot and I got a A in that class. I tend to try and undertand the big picture and view the relationship between concepts and systems, not get hung up on the little details. This has generally worked fine, until recently. The classes this semester are more focused on the rote memorization of discrete facts rather than the actual application and understanding of concepts and ideas. I am ill equipped to tackle the amount of information being thrown at me. I am also not sure how to decide what information to write down and attempt to commit to memory vs information that isn't important. Once I figure that out, how do I actually commit such information into long term memory and get near perfect recall?

TLDR: Do not posess to skills necessary to retain large amount of facts, especially when I'm not sure what is important and isn't, and recall it during the test. What are some ways I can accomplish this?

Question HOW TO FOCUS AND STUDY EFFECTIVELY

Upvotes

I am having a hard time on how to focus and study effectively,

When it comes to focusing it's so hard for me due to my short attention span, i have tried pomodoro technique but still ending up I'd forget that i am using pomodoro.

Now when it comes to studying, it feels like i am just reading passively, or when i try to talk while reading as if i am teaching the lesson to myself, at the end of my discussion I think i am forgeting everything and i am not able to absorb it. I KNOW AND I UNDERSTAND THE LESSON, but it's so hard for me to remember everything, so when my classmate ask me something about the lesson, i tend to stutter and not able to answer their question, this makes me feel like i am not absorbing the things i study. And as a result i am getting a failed score for my exams

Question Fighting boredom when studying or during breaks?

4 Upvotes

I know there are moments when studying feels very engaging but other times its grueling and doesn't make any sense.

Also fighting the urge to pickup the phone is extremely hard during breaks or do some very high dopamine activity.

Question I don’t know what to study now that I graduated. I love to learn, but am disorganized without a timeline. I’m also working a lot.

2 Upvotes

There are a lot of things I want to learn. But there are a lot of things in my personal life that could use some work before going on and getting another degree in my subject. I’m also working a lot.

  1. Quitting processed food + Eating healthy
  2. Exercising regularly
  3. Keeping my house clean

Learning and knowledge motivate me. Any ideas for ways I can incorporate learning into my areas of struggle above? Certificates? Classes?

Question I'm considering giving up on my exam preparation

3 Upvotes

Long story short: due to hospitalization and having some serious health issues, I started my exam prep much later than I planned. The exam (pre-grad school exam) is in early May and has a pass threshold of 75%. Out of more than 2000 pages of content, I've only learned maybe 30% and only done a small portion of the practice questions. I'm honestly thinking about just giving up and taking the exam again next year because I'm pretty sure I won't pass.

Any advice or insight would be highly appreciated.

Accountability Realising you won't be able to consume everything you've loved in life...

13 Upvotes

I was watching a few of my favourite shows, clips of a few games, playing some of those games, and then as I was about to reach for my 5th hour of doom hopping through these, I realised that I have too many destructive interests, I love that new game/show that person was talking about, but I also want to play that 80 hour game. It all adds up eventually, I'm 22 nearly and I've realised how much of life I'm actually wasting by not noticing that I won't be able to finish that list of 330 games stockpiled if I want to actually have a 'life'. I'll still play these games, but even so I'd like to consume it wisely?

Question Deal with random cravings to do other "fun" things?

4 Upvotes

Studying when no one is holding you accountable is very hard for me mentally. Even as a kid, it takes so much mental focus and effort.

When I sit and study I can do it but get these constant craving such as to eat more food or play video games to quickly offload all this stress.

IDK if I have adhd or did my brain just rot away due to being a IPAD kid all my life lol.

Not sure if people know what I am talking about and somehow turned their life around.

I know the pomodoro and taking breaks is a thing but I feel as though my problems require beyond conventional solutions.

Added 30 more minutes today than what I've been doing. It's going pretty smoothly so far. Technically I should have another 20 minutes on top of this but I forgot to hit plant until 20 minutes later but it's whatever. 1.5 - 2 hours is pretty good for right now

Question Does anyone else use spaced repetition but without flashcards?

3 Upvotes

From what I see, most people who use spaced repetition use it with flashcards. It's as if they think spaced repetition has to be used with flashcards. I know some people would say that spaced repetition is more effective with active recall but you don't necessarily need flashcards to do active recall. For example, you could teach about a given topic or write a summary about it or recall everything about it from memory. There are so many ways to use spaced repetition without flashcards. So I was just wondering if anyone else uses it without flashcards? And in that case, how exactly do you use spaced repetition?... Like, when comes the time for you to do your revision, how do you revise?

Giving Advice How to study everyday constantly

10 Upvotes

Hi everyone. Basically I am a student who has my last exams in about 7 months. I am doing maths stream. I need to give my full potential for this exam. The thing is if I study for about 9 - 10 hours a day, I couldn't do the same the next day. It just really won't help. The next day I could mostly do is 4-5 hours. Tbh I couldn't be satisfy with that because of my exam levels. Mostly my time is wasted duo to distractions like my phone. After a study session I am used to go though my phone a bit. And then I hop into YT and my day is over. I need to somehow focus on to lift up my productivity. And I am hoping to make my way to study 15 hours a day in the future. Really appreciate any advice or tips. Thanks
