Learning

[Gabrielle Collinge]

How did you learn!? What studying techniques did you use? Did you use flashcards, read and highlight, write and rewrite, Pictures and diagrams? Did you study use videos? Did you study with friends of by yourself?

Usually I can just hear or read something once and I've got it. That's how I got through paramedic school. Right now I'm actually having to do the studying thing though. The method that's been working for me-

Read everything once, word for word, highlighting potentially important information.

Go back and read the highlights, underlining high-yield information.

Go back and read the underlines, writing information in the margins that may be contradictory to what I would have expected, or very specific facts.

In between all of that, throughout the day I mentally quiz myself on pertinent information.
