How to improve your MEMORY | LBCC Study Skills 

Why didn't I have such a teacher in my life? I adore his method of teaching!!! He's a genius.

I began to fall in love with this teacher watching a couple of his lectures. Incredible pedagogy.

This is very serious top-notch content, I bet many of the audience there didn't know how precious the lecture was/is.

This video is so helpful that i keep coming to it every week to remember how helpful it is

This guy is a hero. There're very few people who take time to address these issues and help you overcome them (referring not only to this but all of his videos). I wish i knew his name so I could email him and thank him.

I'd love to be back in college with this guy as my professor.

This teacher is awesome, I wish every professor was like this. VERY helpful videos

Absolutely one of best teachers I experienced in my over 70 years.

Wow, this changed my life. Seriously. This teacher is amazing. I am a visual person and this changed everything. Thank you. :) I even took notes in a paper and was really into it for hours. I even watched the second part, this is really helpful and making studies much easier. :)

Absolutely, ACRONYM is exactly that helped me in my secondary and postgraduate studies even in entry-level employment exams and/or competitions. It's been great! It works and really amazing!. Anyone can create the acronym that would be very familiar to his/her activities, hence, easier to remember. Yes, that's the keyword: familiarity, hence, easy to remember.

This gentleman is an excellent teacher. His classes are fun and that's the best way how to learn stuff.

Dear Scott Brueckner sir, I can recall since 1962 how when my classmates struggled with learning spellings (English) to me it was just the opposite. I could recall the real difficult ones (mostly, not always) without knowing mnemonic at age 6 just God's grace. Suffice to say every moment of your (nearly) hour-long class was interesting. I too started as lecturer in English in 1977. I imagine I can lecture not only when awake, ... that too is God's grace. There is a little secret you missed to impart. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom (King Solomon's own words). God bless you for sharing your secrets (tricks).

You really are something Sir! I can see the passion and dedication in you. May God bless you, and have more power! Thank you so much, I learned a lot!

Absolutely the quintessential professor who loves what he does!

These videos are so valuable they should be taught in elementary schools already. Today's curricula are just terrible and so many children have become so confused at the easiest of math formulas. I will be teaching my own kids these math tricks!

This man is just amazing, he is really good at what he does. Your videos are very helpful.

Thank you so much for this video, it changed my life as a learner.. 3rd time went to school again after 15 years, mother of 2 and this helped me so much. God bless your health, that's what I wish for you in return :)

I am somebody who, puts every minute I have to study bu then always ends up getting not better than C. that is depressing for me. I am gonna watch every video that you have provided to make my learning skills better. I hope this helps. thank you so much for even uploading these videos. You are saving a bunch of students.

Oh God, you are so brilliant. I wish I had met you thirty years ago.

I am 50 this year but this tutor is going to lead me back to college to catch up where I failed to achieve. Brilliant

Awesome presentation skills..! I wish I had a lecturer like this. Wow..!!! He is amazing..!!

this is the best teacher ive ever seen

This is amazing.. What the hell would I do without RU-vid ?!

You are the best teacher ever, this has helped my daughters so much. The wanted to put her meds just because she couldn't remember her sight words. I said NO then I find you and we figured out a way for her to remember . So thank you very much.

if only I have had a teacher like when I was at school !

He speaks really fast but clear, i want him to be my teacher. he has wonderful skills to teach and even the information he gave us is all useful. thank you for your lecture.

How I wish, I had a teacher like this during my years in schools.

Thank you, Mr. Scott Brueckner and Long Beach City College for your contribution; Brilliant indoctrination. 🙂

This lecture is awesome. Thank you professor Scott Brueckner. Great stuffs and fun.

Great teacher and method. As a non english speaker, i found it easier to understand his English than usual. Not to mention his funny too. Informative and entertaining. Love Scott Breuckner.

I want this man to be my professor . I like the tricks, they are so inspiring and easy to understand.

This is how educators should be. Thanks

Fantastic pedagogy! What need to be said is this - it is important to learn "how to learn" before you start learning (at least pre high school). Personally, I figured out how I learn a good 8 years after I graduated from college. I wish I had known a lot of this way sooner!

Scott Brueckner is a very relatable instructor! He makes me want to return to college.

I am fascinated by this lecture.Now I'll try using the techniques to improve my bad memory.My deepest thanks to sir Scott Bruekner

Good teacher creats the best students ..I would like to be one of them.

The best math teacher in the world Love from Philippines

Awesome lesson! Thanks a lot. I'm teaching a business English class this week and we have a lot of vocabulary to revise. I'll definitely introduce the students to these tricks and suggest they watch the video afterwards.

Now i can remember your name forever. Thanks Scott. I wish i had teacher like u in my childhood.

Hi Scott, you have made it so much clearer to memorize. I never knew how to do it. I was confused about how it works. With your video. I well and truly get it. Many thanks to you and my new journey.

indeed a teacher can be anything and not anothing can a teather! thanks for your teachings.

I have done that acronym trick in my 10th grade for remembering the whole periodic table myself, which was helping me in the further study 🤩

It is not only a lesson to teach me how to improve the memory,but also a good material to practice my English in listening,l love this guy!!!!

hahahh, I watched this 2 or 3 years ago and omy! I'm shocked that I still remember it and I still using the trick he taught.. just sharing 😅

i am super impressed, thank God i watched this, i really wish i had teachers like this

I vote to get him to do a TedTalks on this! :)

Such a positive upbeat teacher. Teaching starts at 10:45. He is Really helpful. Remember that.

i`m kind of moved by your memory strategies and they are so useful for every aspects of my life. Thank you very much indeed for your lecture!

Very very very good teacher, he says things in a very accurate, simple and funny way. This teacher is really amazing.

This guy is the best!! I still remember the street names and these tricks months and months after I first saw this video! How awesome and amazing that is!

If only I had a math teacher like him when I was in elementary level, ( like Wow )..........He makes it so simple............

HE IS A SUPER AMAZING TEACHER!!! I HAVE ENJOYED A LOT WITH HIS LESSON!

great lesson honestly I use your videos to improve my English skills and my kills in general and the best part is that I do not get bored from watching your channel !

I went to school in the UK and we were taught "Every Good Boy Deserves Favour" for the musical notes.

What also helps me to memorize besides visualising is the sound of words. Especially with names. Full names of each person make a melody when you pronounce them. I relate that sound with something familiar and that's how I remember names.

This is probably the best class I've seen yet on RU-vid!

Please upload video like this more often. I feel like i am student in the classroom. Its more make me feel better and feeling like study abroad.

This is great! Thank you so much for sharing this! The two digit squaring of a number ending in 5 also works for 3 digit numbers that end in 5 - 655 ^ 2 = (65*66) and stick 25 at the end = 429025. Harder to do in your head - but a lot faster than the multiplication algorithm. It even works for 4 digit numbers ending in 5 - 6755^2 = 675*676 and stick 25 at the end (I assume it goes on for longer numbers). Maybe you could do a proof of why that works.

I love this channel sir. I wish if you were my mentor that time I failed my high school. I am not even happy at all because I haven't got anyone new I don't have the memory tricks.

Smiling in a test is not always good. Sometimes it’s a hysterical smile knowing that you’re gonna fuck this one up 😩😭💔

Great teacher. I hope if I had attended your class before. Never late. You gave me a chance to improve my English. 👍👍👍👍

Thanks Scott. Your sessions are informative and funny. I did not think I could sit thru a 45 min video :)

My dream was to be a scientist but mathematics and it's calculations shout down my dream, I wished you were my teacher at that time... may almighty Allahu bless your knowledge...

These videos are so helpful and entertaining too! I just did the two-digit-number-ending-in-five-squared trick to my parents and they couldn't believe it :')

It's magic. I really like your ways of teaching. I can't imagine if my previous English teacher was teaching like yours, maybe my English will improve faster. Great job!

wow !!!! this teacher is awesome ,he kept my attention the entire time. I'm 38yr with three kids 16,13,10 driving me mad_ lol. You help me see that I can absorb things...life...kids..work..husband sometimes you feel you are in a brain fog of life!!! this made my evening thank you so much for sharing and enlightening my mind. God bless you I subscribe to your channel 🤗

you are the nicest teacher ..............Thanks for helping everybody.................really Thanks

Gracias maestro. You lecture was delightful. I enjoyed and learnt a lot.

We are very lucky generation we have internet, imagine without internet... it would not be possible to watch this awesome video. Thank you for whoever uploaded.

I use to remember names with my own method and that is, When I meet with a stranger and I ask his or her name, mostly that name I find in my relatives or friends or villagers or school mates or famous personalities or some time the name of places, so i relate he or she with those people or places and then it's easy to me to remember the name of that person

You sir have won the internet just brilliant, I’m terrible at math but you have saved me!!👍🔥🔥

Great teacher...wish africa had people like you. GOD BLESS.....SCOTT

this man makes me want to learn more, gbu sir !

In you description of S. P. A. C. E Tward the end you gave an very accurate description of Mankind's problem with the conscious mind, intellectualism..! The arrogance of intellectualism ! Intellectualism know what all of the conscious mind blocks subconscious mind from giving you answers to questions..! Because the intellectual conscious mind actually believes it's smarter than God..! And there is a constant fight between conscious and subconscious over this territory but here's the ridiculous portion.! Conscious mind represents 5% of our intellect..! Subconscious mind represents 95% + of all of our intellect from the day we were born everything we smell everything we saw everything we read everything we heard everything is recorded there ..! What people say what I couldn't remember it for the test they're actually giving credence to this intellectualism of the conscious mind and making an excuse for that conscious mind to continue blocking off the subconscious mind from giving an answer.! A conscious mind enabler of the mental block between conscious and subconscious, if you will I don't need to see a LION I already know what they look like..! Love your tricks going to learn from You let me tell you about one of mine! Consider this too, the conscious mind and subconscious as two arguing children that refuse to speek to each other while dwelling on their ongoing argument.! Because that's exactly what there's doing ,! When you can't remember something it's usually because of this arrogance of the conscious mind in daylight out here over the subconscious mind that never gets to speak..! If you change the subject like swapping out a toy with a child then the subconscious mind will give the conscious mind the answer to the question because after all the subconscious mind is 95 + percent of all of our intellect ..! That's what we're taught to do on a multiple choice question test go on to the next question in dealing with the next question with your conscious mind your subconscious mind gave you the answer to the previous one.! You can't remember something and then the subconscious mind will give it to you ! Simple it's a trick a simple trick..! How big is a trick of a subordinate bowing to the higher intellect of the subconscious mind to get an answer to a question...!! buy preoccupying the conscious mind with something else !! A trick of preoccupation if you will ! I use this trick and many more like it with the subconscious mind to write music! And because of it I found the worst thing that you can do in writing is to make a note or notes off your paper and go over your notes again to do a rewrite that is the absolute worst thing you could do! If you go threw a three month rewrite method..! Crumble up the first writing and throw it away or burn it and start over completely fresh when you do it the next time.....! and if your professor requires notes wait till the third writing before ever making your notes notes that you will never use for a rewrite because that just does not work your subconscious mind is way more powerful than that !! but using notes as a crutch will completely block off your subconscious mind.!

Mental Pictures, Acronyms, and Math tricks helped me a lot solving problems during working.

I would love this man would teach me how to remember vocabulary and English grammar!

the first multiplication trick works for numbers like 63*67 = 4221 (6*(6+1)=42, 3*7=21). Works for any pair with two first digit equal (both are 6) and the other two add up to 10 exactly (3+7=10)

He is awesome! He made the class interesting !

Yes . Very interesting content . Really like the way this teacher teaches.

When I first heard EGBDF, ~60 years ago, the sentence was "Every Good Boy Deserves Fun".

Amazing teacher offering wonderful memory tricks!

I've been using the below trick to easily memorize very long numbers (for instance pi to a hundred decimals) or long lists for years. The range of possible uses for this memory system are very broad. First study these by heart until they become natural: 1 = T or D 2 = N 3 = M 4 = R 5 = L 6 = Y or J 7 = K or hard C 8 = F or V 9 = P 0 = S or Z or soft C Now you can remember long numbers by making words with them. For instance: 3.14 would be 'motor' or 'mother'. (If you want to memorize Pi, then walk through the rooms of your house, where in every room you encounter other objects, starting with a Motor on the driveway.) [Note that I transcribed these number-to-letter combination from another language; some letter choices may not be optimal for English word forming. Change were necessary.] As an extension of the system, every number has a word or image attached to it: 0 Saw 1 haT 2 Noah 3 haM 4 eaR 5 owL 6 eYe 7 Cow 8 uFo 9 aPe 10 DiSh 11 DeaTh etc... [Note that 'w' and 'h' don't count as consonants.] Via these images it becomes possible to easily study al sorts of lists. For instance: List of fruits: 1. Banana 2. Apple 3. Pear Think of some crazy images: a banana wearing a hat, Noah sitting in his ark that is hewn out of a huge apple, you in a restaurant enjoying the marvelous combination of ham and pear. It takes two seconds per item, and with very minimal reviewing you will remember it for months or even years. Also, with this method you can quickly pick out any specific number on the list.

This dude is hilarious and his delivery is great too. Tough crowd

I am so glad i'm in college with so many internet resources to help me.

The camera guy finally figured out how to adjust the focus at about 1:40 -- but not before I'd already cleaned my glasses thinking it was just me~lol

The *Roy G Biv* had me in uncontrollable stitches 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 he's funny but an amazing lecturer 👏

Fantastic! I have utilized this system as often as I can and it works... thanks for the great reminders and tips!

Thank you for this awesome ideas Sir.Brueckner

This is exactly what I want from RU-vid not the time wasting reels.

Acronyms are great for learning anatomy! The majority of anatomy is lists like the 12 cranial nerves, or orders like arteries, veins and nerves reaching an organ. My favourite is "redbull addict victim" which means: in the Right lung from top to bottom you will find the Bronchus then the Artery and finally the Vein. :)

Wow. Crawled out of retirement an into college again. Pooh man. Memory???? Well, I've learned more in 30m from this guy than god knows how long. I tried a primitive hieroglyphic video version in chinese history class with all the dynasties and got a perfect score!!!! This guys great! Thanks you sir.

You just literally make my life easier 😆 Thank you Teacher 👨‍🏫

Very pleasant lecturer. I wish I had lecturers like this one when I was in college.

This man saves lives.

In fact for the first trick, as long as the last digit of those numbers add up to 10, the trick still works. Of course, the last digit can be from 1 through 9 only, for example 68 x 62 = 4216.

I remember the maths one multiplying by 11 several decades ago in High School!

Interesting, can't stop watching your workshops about triks! Thank you for the video.

This is so cool. I was stuck and about to give up anatomy because I couldn’t remember the organ system. Soon as he wrote nicer drums. I remembered all. Lol.

The best thing I learned is the new meaning of the word "tricks". Thanks.
