@UsernameDP Год назад

As a high school student, having been developing this sort of studying pattern for about a year(without realizing it), I can definitely see where you're coming from. I used to be that one couch potato that would binge watch RU-vid videos and play videos games for hours after school, but I completely stopped one day and gravitated my attention towards math. Before, I would only do the minimum work my tutor would assign me, but because I had much leftover time due to giving up video games, and because I didn't have any hobbies, I ended up doing homework my tutor would assign me next class so I'd have more free time. Gradually, I graduated from having to take tutor, and began self studying math entirely for fun and self growth. What I can most agree with your video is that organization and deep level of studying. I found math to especially accel in this department, as math has the tendency to build up understanding as you go to higher levels. What I found most useful for getting into that 1 and 2 level of studying for math and possibly other STEM subjects is to 'understand' how everything works. To give more context, I mean trying to prove theorems, formulas, and what certain principles are implying. Eventually, I gained the ability to prove most of these theorems and formulas myself, and doing so helped me connect the dots within math even further. Additionally, during this period of improvement, I attempted note taking. I was of course only an elementary at the start, and just like what you said in the video, I would take notes as soon as I learned something(just to get that stress out of my head). Overtime, I would take notes only after the end of each chapter, and also came to realize my style of note taking, which was to not just write down formulas for the sake of memorizing, but also add proofs(for those formulas), questions, and what exactly I was thinking while exploring a certain unit or topic within math. This allowed me to look back and my accomplishments, and gain self-esteem from them. But I should also add that I think taking notes in this style is a far more tedious than learning math itself, but that was able to trick my brain into thinking that note taking was far more difficult than learning something in math, when it may not be the case in reality. Lastly, one of the best methods I found for pre-studying is to look over the material before solving any problems. For example, a single level of rudimentary math(geometry, algebra 2, calculus,etc.)normally has 14 chapters in total, and I would attempt to finish about 1 chapter a day. Each chapter can consist of about 5-10 sub-units, and I would just read over them for about 45 minutes just to see the intuition behind each information(as a way of categorizing the information), this not only tricks your brain into thinking the amount you're doing is substantially little, but can give you an idea of what all the informations are 'leading up to'(the end result/kind of like a spoiler). As a closure, math is currently my favorite subject, and I am gaining more interest in other STEM fields because its styles are similar to how I would study math. From my perspective on this matter of "thinking/studying like a genius", I can say with complete certainty that it isn't something you can obtain by studying for school, but is only possible through self-studying. And I should add that this style of thinking shouldn't be too stressed about, but it is rather a natural process as a result of letting your curiosity flow. (I wrote this on my phone, so there will probably be a lot of Grammer errors, but oh well)

@webbymeppy3423 Год назад

I really relate to this alot except I have always gone for higher learning my whole life. It's only getting harder as the teachers are unwilling to answer questions they think are stupid or unessacery to "learning" the material. In spite of this I can still obtain a low level of memory and understanding in my classes as well as in my own personal studies. It sucks seeing that not many people know about this way to learn. I guess it is something we knew innately but chose to ignore because memorizing was faster and easier.

Hi, Justin. I'm retired, unemployed, disabled, 70 and a lifelong learner. After watching your video I wondered how I was the top student in my class and graduated with high honors in college being stuck at level 4. What a shame! That probably shouldn't have happened! I immediately started using your technique literally minutes after I watched your video with my Great Courses. This is mindblowing stuff. I'm hungry for more. Keep it coming!

Justin, please--write a book! The subject matter of your lectures is a really important body of skills, but, as an educational psychologist, you know that lecturing is one of the worst possible ways of delivering them. That's why people say that your videos are long. They are actually no longer than they have to be to cover the content, but listen--we are all highly trained and experienced readers. We read 10, 000 words in 20 minutes, but it takes nearly an hour to listen to them. We can go back and forth in a book, highlight passages, fold down page corners, all that stuff. If you write a book, I promise I will buy it and recommend it to others.

@tytsam72 2 года назад

@Jim Mcdonald According to my perspective. The main reason why Justin is not writing books or Blogs as opposed to giving Lecture through RU-vid videos is Unavailability of TIME. For Justin's tight schedule. He is not able to take out time to write the concepts or his teachings. On a side not quite probably he is planning to write a book, gradually. But for now he is taking out some blocks of time in between his routine & schedule to reach out to more people by using one of the faster methods than writing, Lecturing. Of course there are lots of whys to what he is doing, i.e. why is he making youtube videos, 2 of them being: 1. Philanthrophy 2. Marketing/Advertisement for his Course Hopefully this gives some different angle to your request. Regards.

@shortpitched713 Год назад

Delayed note-taking is a huge one. We often feel a social pressure to make it look like we're doing something during our lectures. But I've failed courses because I didn't apply this rule, and instead took a lot of notes during lecture and ended up wasting precious lecture time. So make sure to follow this rule! A trick that can help in this is to also make sure to try and ask a meaningful question at a point in the lecture. This can both help you ensure you're taking an adequate cognitive load, when formulating what's hopefully an intelligent question (doesn't need to be rocket science). And it also is "doing something", in case you're like me and feel the discomfort of "not doing anything" during the lecture process.

I actually do the deep learning thing naturally. Factually everything you say is correct. It is logical that just knowing "1=sin(90)" doesn't get you far, as humans don't operate like a hash table, but knowing that it is a triangle in a circle with a side of it going around the clock is the correct way. This is a huge difference .

@@popcat6683 I'm not an expert and I think you'd be better off listening to Justin. However, I'm gonna list here the things that helped me the most: 1) whatever I study, I look at topics a couple sections away to see the big picture of what I am currently learning and I try to understand the relation of what I am learning now with the whole thing, and I try to think of what this can be used for, or what questions that might come up on the exam this material that I'm learning will let me answer. 2) When I'm studying, I focus only on studying, and pay as much attention as I possibly can. 3) I believe in myself 4) I take breaks

I am bad at remembering lists. So, I study them using aconyms. I first take a list of words, or a list of sentences, and for each entry I assign a letter. Next, I combine the letters in a meaningful way to form the acronym. Then, I memorize the aconym, and I quiz myself on what each letter means. Over time, at the start of each study session, I quiz myself on remembering the acronyms themselves, and then on the meaning of each letter of each acronym. Throughout an entire semester, I end up memorizing a page or two of acronyms, and recalling them is no longer difficult. I believe, although I have not tested this, that were I to return to quizing myself on any page of acronyms years later, I could regain the knowledge with only a moderate level of difficulty.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR VIDEOS After watching your videos, I felt like I am actually smart, it's just that I have been studying wrongly all these years because although I sometimes see the relationship between concepts, I tend to focus on isolating the concept and memorizing it. Now I am just focusing on learning the bigger picture and trying to see how everything is connected. I also used to just take down notes linearly with a thinking that : since I have all this information written down, I can just memorize these next time (basically notes now, learn later). What I am doing now is actually understanding and encoding things in my head DURING lecture by trying to connect things I have previously studied during my pre-study session

@lowveil 6 месяцев назад

In order to be able to relate huge networks of information and prioritize for stage 1 like he said, you need knowledge of a huge network of information. You need to experience many different things. Geniuses are geniuses because they know a lot about a lot of things. Vastly different things, which makes their understanding of individual things more expansive. I've watched this a couple times, and rewatching it now I realize why I struggled so hard to reach those higher levels of learning. I didn't really expose myself to a lot of information, shutting myself out from learning about anything I can. With the internet being so big, I struggled to see that I could learn anything, focusing more on the idea that I will never learn everything.

I've been programming myself to apply your concepts for awhile and I think I finally understand how it can work for me! One thing you said in this video that clicked was that your brain is not ready for that level of detail when you recite small bits of information. Currently I'm trying to learn to code and I find myself trying to master the small sections of my online class (which doesn't help me when i immediately apply what i learn only to fail when I cant solve a Code Wars problem). Instead I'm trying to understand the overall concept and how the information applies to me and how I can use it to build programs and websites. Long story short, learning is a little bit more fun that way instead of cramming detailed information that feels useless to you and haven't build a connection yet. I appreciate you for taking the time out to explain this strategy. You might have changed my life lol

@gigigem5631 Год назад

When you started talking about mindless note-taking the first thing I thought about were my last history classes. At the past, with the other teacher, we were actually discussing topics, she was asking for our opinion on things we learn, also many times we needed to recall something from long ago lessons and it all was just being placed right in the brain. Some students were most of the time note-taking and they head real struggles when the task was to retell in your own words, they would memorize it... Some, on the other hand were deeply involved in the "story", to me it was like an interesting game, I felt involved and that made me remember parts of Netherlands, Greek and English history, but my own... There was just too much, too shallow, too fast and another teacher who didn't really care or knew how to explain things well, we were listening and writing which was not at all efficient. Grades were fine, although. But I wasn't much interested in all that, thought I'd try to teach myself things, again, by myself. But I still don't remember much from the entire year of History class. I remember a lot in Physics. That was an absolute opposite. No note-taking at all. And very memorable. He was explaining in words anyone understands. And I remember much compared to other subjects. It actually made me very curious about the subject itself after all. If I teach myself something I dive deep, I try to first introduce myself to the topic slowly, then search some related articles, examples, compare various concepts and then I have some kind of upper level understanding, not deep. Because, to actually remember and be able to recall the things I learned I need, and anyone needs, otherwise it's pointless is - practical use. Find ways to do so, maybe some quizzes for the warm up, small projects, problem-solving using the new learned tool. That's what makes the deep understanding and builds some confidence around the thing you're learning.

Really appreciate for what you taught in this video. I'm a freshman at my university and as you know the beginning is always very tough, challenging. I literally do not know how to learn effectively in university because the information I gained seems too much, and I get overloaded when reading it. Thanks to this video, I really think I know how to analyze the information to deeply understand it instead of trying to passively remember it. Last week, I did a presentation about the decision-making process, and my teacher said that nearly all my presentation was just something I read from the book, not what I knew. I was pretty sad because I truly made effort to understand it in my way but it seemed like I did not understand the lesson enough. After watching your video, I feel more confident to do the next presentation and also gain high scores in the class. Thanks for all your sharing.

@rahuln1998 2 года назад

I dont think its going to be too different with maths either. I dont know exactly where you struggle but as he said in the video try to relate that stuff to whatever you have learned before. Maths is basically a chain of info everything related to everything else. For ex for integration, integration is area under a curve. So if you know aabout parabolas and other types of curves, from there you can build that info to integration. Maybe you can try thinking the purpose of what you are trying to learn and then from there figure out what else did you learn before this that is related to this. Hope this helps.

Without learning first everything. This will allow you to remember the questions and its strategy better.

Trust me, I've tried competing with bonafide geniuses before who didn't even have to study for them to ace their exams (well, some of them only need to look once into to the topic to retain everything what they have learned) and why I know this is because I hang out and became close with these people. It became a habit to compare our academic test scores every now and then. Occasionally, I can beat them but most of the circumstances? They always held the majority of higher scores in comparison to mine. If I take an estimated win rate ratio in terms of these overall competition I'd say its 35:65, with them winning 65% of the time. I've also thought of changing my study habits back then to surpass these kind of people but nothing really worked in the end. That's where I accepted the fact that natural born geniuses are way superior to those who're just trying to become one (like me ofc lol) Overtime, I lost my edge in competitiveness and I no longer harbor any inspirations to achieve something far bigger than I used to be. Something about that realization made a mentality that I should take things comfortably because there's always someone out there who's better than you.

The only difference is, I no longer believe I know most things, but I can learn those things if needed and wanted to.

I think in some extent that good "intuition", and specially the good sense of logic, is a result of actually doing high order associations(after some time). Because as you get more organized with your ideas/knowledge, you have all that high order knowledge that could fit with something new. I am not a genius but often times I go to other knowledge when learning something new. And as you get more into high level associations it becomes easier, I am not actually that much into them as I would like so maybe I could make the simple experiment of actually improving in that aspect and check it.
