I feel like he sees everything in a whole different way it’s like I have watched sooo many study videos and all of them are about how to remember stuff and good grades but he made me realise that you’re learning stuff, you’re specialising in them like you actually want to have that knowledge idk how to explain it but it made me feel sooo different about education in general it’s amazing
Please keep making videos. Your videos are a breathe of fresh air and ideas that make me think. Your content is amazing. Thank you for changing my life.
Me : yay, there's Samuel's new video talking about notetaking * sees he talks about a *subject not related to science* aka business law* Me, a law student : Omg he's finally talking my language *tearing up a bit* PS. Thank you soo much for the content you put ou there!
@@alexmirkovicc hmm that’s true, over in the uk, to become a doctor, you have to study medicine, I know, obviously, however the point in making is that you can’t study medicine as part of another course or not follow through to become a doctor as it’s mandatory to do work experience hours and make your Quota
@@WarrenKirkpatrick that's really interesting how the process works in the UK. Some US schools have the option to pursue a MD/JD for those who are interested in health law/policy or MHA/MD for people who want to go into healthcare management. Is this the same in the UK?
As a law student I wholeheartedly agree with everything you said! This is how I study too. And YES finally someone said it, it's fun to solve the problem when you understand the material. People look at me like I'm an alien when I say I had fun with a fictional case 😅
You finally sovled the biggest issue in learning. It's not newer or fancier tools, but adapting the existing tools to a process that supports our own individual way of learning
This notion -> keynote stack would have been awesome if I had it in law school lol. Good to see Samuel has so early already learned that the quality of the notes > quantity (bringing the textbook) for open book exams.
This makes me so happy and actually excited to get my law qualification. Thank you so much! And thank you for making Notion seem a lot less overwhelming. I definitely need to use it more. You’re the best 💛
Samuel, you are quite inspiring. I am 53 years old. I struggled earning my undergraduate degree. Fast-forward into my early 40’s and I went back to get a Master’s Degree. My maturity helped me quite a bit, and I feel that I learned a lot more than I did when 20. However, if I had understood the concepts (not the tools, because they didn’t exist back then!) earning my degrees would have been far different. Instead of a drudgery, it would have be a joy. I wish I had known then, what you have taught me watching your videos. Thank you! Well done.
Ive been procrastinating the whole day and I stumbled across your video and after watching it, I feel inspired and motivated to work now. Thanks a lot. =)
That's why you have such high ability to learn and produce: because you are not strongly bounded to your learning process and can abandon it to something else new and different. Sometimes we create some process and stick to it no matter what, even when when it is not helping us anymore. Thank you. You are giving me a lot to think about.
It's interesting to hear how you describe law because it's very similar to physics questions where you have to apply the concepts you've learnt to new and unfamiliar situations. It seems like it's the humanities counterpart of physics. I think because you were studying medicine, these types of questions didn't come up too often cause you mostly (not all the time) needed to memorise information for exams. I'm studying physics in uni and it's really fun if you enjoy applying what you've learnt to new situations! You also don't have to memorise too much because once you really understand a concept, it will stick with you. One thing that helps me remember stuff in maths and physics is to always consider how a new concept or equation relates to what you already know. To me, a benefit of studying physics is that I don't have to remember too much content :) Great video as always btw!
You are the most amazing studier I’ve ever seen. I can never even determine what information is relevant, I get FOMO and basically end up copying the textbook verbatim. What a skill to have to figure out what to learn and how to learn like you have!
I’ve just started my second semester of law school, and the way you describe the complexity of learning the law is soooo spot on. It’s a very unique subject in so many ways and I personally found the hardest part about law school to be learning *how to learn* in law school. Great video!
As a commercial law student... thank you so much for making this video, it’s only gonna make life much easier when making notes and studying for exams. Your content is a pleasure to watch, please keep posting more videos like this ❤️❤️
So I am a law student; my second semester is about to begin from monday and THIS VIDEO JUST SAVED MY DAY❤️ I have used notion for an year now and I really gotta say IT IS PHENOMENAL! Also, this is the exact same method I use to make my law notes, but this video gave me more ideas and I feel so happy now❤️ thank you Samuel✌️
This was amazing to watch. I'm a science student who switched to business. And this helps me make sense of what my peers keep talking about. Cause I've always wondered what the hell condensed notes mean.
“Learning is about breaking things down and building things up”, A wise statement from Suresh that changed how I think about learning, first time watching his videos and imagine getting this top-notch idea. Ready to watch more of your content and break things down😎
I’ve been watching your content for a while but couldn’t use your old note-taking style because I was a law student! It’s so interesting to see how you changed your technique!
Samuel, thank you for sharing your process. You’re such an inspiration...brilliant to say the least! Your critical thinking and problem solving skills is on another level (especially when it comes to organizing and synthesizing information). Simply put, if you ever create your OWN note-taking software or iPad Pro app...I’d buy it in a heartbeat!!! 🥰 Keep going!
“When the student is ready the teacher appears.” I’ve gone back to school in my 50’s after a career in design and honestly the program I’m in is so dense with information, that I’ve been struggling. Frankly, it feels like trying to drink from a firehose. Copying text, trying to capture every word in lectures, flash cards, spreadsheets just wasn’t cutting it. I was spending hours researching how to study, the apps I need, the programs…but I was not getting anywhere and falling behind. We have an assignment to turn in our notes from the semester, something we will use later in our practice and I was feeling stressed out- I hadn’t figured out how to format information yet. I decided to drop from full time to part time because honestly, while I was doing well, it felt like I wasn’t retaining any information and I needed to go back and review already. Having this space to process the information was a relief and I got in my head to do my notes visually and use my creative brain to learn in the process. It may take more time but I feel I’d actually learn it, which is the point, right? I got really excited about this idea. And then I found you. I got so emotional watching your videos. It was the validation I needed. I’m on the right track and your examples are helping me to explore my ideas more fully. I can’t thank you enough!
Goosebumps. This is the best ever explanation of the power of Notion that I have ever heard and will probably make me give it a try after all this time.
oh my gosh I can see your name all over textbooks in the future, and not just science textbooks. The entire textbook industry no matter the subject my god you're talented, those guides are beautiful
Law is not actually that hard. Depends on how your brain works. The hard part is having a science based mind and studying law suddenly. He is doing a great job using what he knows to learn something new.
this is the first video of yours i've watched, and somehow you made me rethink my entire approach to studying, one i've been using for years without really considering that other ways exist. so helpful. thank you
So for the past 5 years I have been taking physical notes and coloring it which is similar to what you have been doing but boy I never thought this can be done with such a less hassle. Thank You so much for this.
@@tbuglc If he's in my class, I would work a part-time job to buy his notes and take the same courses every semester throughout uni aka 'friends with benefits.'
Once upon a time; I have been a student and truly I,'my amused of the way you and your colleagues are able to adapt new technology methods into your learning process. Congratulations for you and your friends.
I have seen so many youtube videos for note taking medical lectures and always felt Business was always left out. As an MBA graduate, I completely appreciated this video!!!!
I cant believe you are using it the way I use notion. 😅 Just finished my masters in management last year. Notion helped me to understand theories and ideas by turning them into questions and use the toggle mode. It helps me to compile and group all info in designated places 😁
As someone who has a Business degree (Business Law major) and has now switched to health science....you are so spot on with the differences! Learning science is sooooo different! It's great to see a video coming from someone doing both. 😀
The fact we know have subjects in common makes me so happy! I hope it’s not too hard on you (i’m also a double major, english linguistics and business, so I know it gets hectic)!
You know I had the same experience. Until I started using LaTeX to take notes during my mathematics classes. Typesetting my combinatorics notes was sick and I never looked back. Now as a teacher all my notes are written using it.
I don't doubt the Notion part of the video. But what I really like and appreciate is the story you told around Notion - from your degree change to the law thing. Amazing!
Me being a student of Law in Brazil studying a kind of Law TOTTALLY different (since he studies Common Law and I Civil Law) and he still was able to help me. THANK YOU SO MUCH
I found your channel today and I already watched all of your videos. I can see that you are a very intelligent person with a simple way to explain things. I love this. New subscriber🌱
I’m a lawyer and I always found it a little hard to apply your med school note taking techniques to civil law (as it is mostly in my country). But with Notion it makes more sense. I wish I had come across this kind of content back when I was in college. You’re the best ❤️
100% on point. This is why we have SOO many books on the same topics because the truth is, success in every area of life is actually simple it's just not easy. and Knowledge is only really powerful when it's actually used and put into practice.
Watching this after i've finished my law degree and wishing someone broke it down for me like this because it was a struggleeee. ii did find a similar way was a really good way for me to learn so i'm a big fan of this method !
Yes! I study occupational therapy. It's a mix of medical science and dry theory . I have been using Goodnotes for taking notes and understanding. AND have been using Notion for active recall and knowing by head. It really works!
Honestly, thank you so much for your content. I'm a nursing student and have been struggling to find a good way to take notes and absorb the materials, and I came across your videos yesterday. All of your content is extremely informative and have inspired me to become a better student through better visual note taking.
I love your videos Samuel ! There are extremely enjoyable and helpful , I actually purchased an iPad last year because of your videos and I have enjoyed so much more writing out my notes on it and in return have achieved retaining my information way better. Wishing you the best of luck in your new journey of law !!
I really like your content, there is everything in it: storytelling, photography, passion, quality content. I really like that you are doing the reverse steps I made: I have a master degree in law, a post graduate degree in Wealth Management and right now I am 30 and working in a bank, but I decided to start a bachelor degree in Physical Engineering, so I am experimenting exactly the opposite copernican intellectual revolution you are doing. This video is perfect for me, because I have to balance work, study and life and I am starting to use Notion with GoodNotes, which is substituting Notability. Thank you very for your work!
I love your content! Thank you so much! You have no idea how much you inspire me! I also love organizing notes, especially digital ones!!! Studying is like my safe haven.
Finally someone said it! Finally a STEM student agreed that business is not as easy as many people think. Studying business is totally different and difficult people think business is easy I mean? In science, you just have to memorize stuff but in business you've to implement things in real life problems which is interesting but hard at the same time! Like he said, you have given a problem most probably a business case study with real life problems face by industry, govt or an individual company and you have to solve it with what you've learned in lecture and tbh it's hard sometimes courses like organizational behavior, business/corporate law, principles of management takes so much time on case study to be solved.
15:45 is exactly what lawyers do. This 4-part process is found in every case. It may apply to 1) legal rules (form), or 2) any area of substantive law (as varied as life itself when two or more human beings are involved). Law school class study relies heavily on outlines, and Notion seems to allow you to use toggle to hide/expose subparts of the outline. This allows you to easily test yourself as you review it. I -> A -> 1 -> a -> i each being a subpart of the previous one. Good law is incredibly logical to minute detail. Your process involves review of the material several times., which is critical (unless you have a photographic memory). Well done Samuel!
Its kind of a coincidence i was used to write my notes in goodnotes just like you then from this semester i shifted to typing my notes in CANVA and you did it too ..😂
I did law as an undergraduate and now a masters in law. Honestly it is extremely difficult but weirdly fun. Thank you for sharing your wisdom. Also, looking forward to your keynote video.
to organize the lectures and your highest levels in notion i recommend using gallery view and changing the cards to small and the view to none its super cool my friend calls them ‘bubbles’. Gallery views within gallery views are amazing for indexing complex fields and u can have toggles within the gallery pages that were in the higher gallery views
I started watching this channel before getting into law school and it was really nice to learn about the learning process. However, when I got into the law school I couldn’t follow the same approach he used for understanding concepts of biology because of the differences between the subjects . I am really glad that he came up with this video and now I can try a new approach for learning.
Thank you so much for uploading this video. I started studying law part time last year (in my 30s), whilst working full time and could not find a way to keep track of my notes and learnings. A lot of “study-tubers” have these fancy science and maths notes which just wouldn’t work for law. So thank you for your candid insights and perfect explanation of IRAC ;)
I have a strong gut feeling you’re going to invent something related to The ‘Process’ of learning efficiently & effectively because what you just lectured was pure gold. Thank you!
Sorry. I don’t get it. Now you are basically doing anki cards… the method you said in your previous videos that was pointless because it did not make sense of the content which ended in studying not learning… I am lost
This video is very meaningful because it may help other students who don’t study science. Samuel allows diverse students study to their extent and learn from that process. Ur awesome dude 😎
I study math, and the way you talk about how you study law really sounds like how I study maths. In all my classes I work the most on the worksheets we get weekly. Only when I try to solve a problem that I haven't seen before and reference the problems we saw in class is where the real studying is happening. Just though it was interesting that the degrees sound so different but the work processes are basically the same.
