@MisterMevs

Dude, you saying "that struggle is what learning feels like" just unlocked a new viewpoint in my brain, i don't know. I've never looked at it like that before. Thanks

1. Make your notes more visual 
2. Use notes as an extension for your thinking - not a replacement 
3. Don't just rely on your notes for exams 
4. Constantly update your notes 
5. Linear and non linear notes (non linear notes are better as you're able to link ideas)
6. Learn math with words at first, then apply with numbers 
7. Write questions

Notetaking Tips 

0:24 make your notes more visual
Mind mapping 

0:34 notes are meant to be an extension of you thinking.
Learn by struggling 
Write notes after class
Let your brain process info
Don’t be worried about missing info in class, as everything is in your textbook anyways.

2:01 don’t over rely in your notes
DO NOT reread your notes. This is useless.
Instead use methods like active recall. (Questions)

2:47 constantly update your notes
Version 1 - notes in class
Group info together in later versions

3:39 linear vs non linear
Non linear is more easy to visualise how everything is connected together 
Basically mind mapping 

4:46 the best way to start learning maths is WITHOUT all the numbers
Learn the math in words first 
Learn the concept then then the procedure

5:38 write questions 
Forces you to think like examiner
Great review tool for exams

@Shortandnerdyy

I feel like I'm guilty of struggling to write notes without even trying to learn. I'm in nursing school and this channel has helped me a lot

@e-genieclimatique

in brief:
This video emphasizes the importance of effective note-taking strategies for students. 
The key points include:

1. Make notes more visual: Use images, flowcharts, diagrams, or mind maps to better remember and process information.
2. Notes as an extension of thinking: Do not offload everything from the brain to notes immediately; instead, give the brain time to process information.
3. Don't over-rely on notes: Rereading notes can give the illusion of learning but true learning requires active recall.
4. Update notes constantly: Notes should go through multiple iterations to refine and condense understanding.
5. Linear vs. Non-linear note-taking: Understand the difference between these two methods and when to use each.
6. Note-taking in math: Start with a conceptual understanding in words before moving on to numbers and equations.
7. Write questions: Writing questions can help focus learning objectives, improve understanding, and create a useful review tool for exams.

Ultimately, effective note-taking requires engaging with the material, adapting to different subjects, and continuously refining notes to ensure a thorough understanding.

Hearing Number Two articulated aloud made me have to stop what I was doing for a solid minute and reflect on every academic struggle I've ever experienced. Videos like these, through your wonderful ability to communicate and creatively discuss how we think and organize our thoughts, have gotten me excited about learning again.

@Iddy267

I really appreciate that you point out what learning "SHOULD" feel like. It puts it into a new perspective for me.

@claud1able

Being dyslexic, and having a learning disorder has over the years been very hard for me educationally.  BTW I am now 72 years old, and I still struggle today to organize thoughts and process what people are saying to me.  So mind mapping, and visual notes have been the only way for me to survive.  I very seldom understand what someone is saying to me,  on the first pass. Because my processing time is very slow. It has been frustrating over the years but some how I managed to graduate from high school and college
Thank you I enjoy your videos and I am still learning

@Ashthegrey

It wasn't until college that I had to learn how to study and really discover these types of learning skills for myself. This is the best video I've found so far!

@tofiquemd1851

The chads who took notes of the video

@BalefulRogue

I was guilty of typing or writing notes during lecture, but I found that time was better spent making quizlets or flashcards of the lecture material. I was more likely to view and study them versus rereading my lecture notes. I also made the notes and turned them into questions to better help me understand the material and learn it.

@ThinkleaYT

You helped me a lot to recover from my failure in 1st year of Medical School. I was heavily dependent on notes, tried to reading and re reading, and indeed it creates an illusion. After closely watching your videos I m focusing on making mind maps and doodles, sketches to remember the concepts. The idea of writing everything in class really sucks. I will focus more on reading standard textbooks. Btw Thank you so much ❤.

@daryasmko6683

Man u have a deep understanding of what u are doing and it help us so much.

@yasminabloom2960

first I want to say, great video with many great tips which I definitely will apply. I now do take notes in class especially for anatomy/ pathology subjects, and doing this made it a huge difference. I do wish I could draw things out so i remember better, but the way the teacher moves on quick to next thing is a challenge I need to overcome.

2. Because of you (well both of you) I redid my test for anatomy, it went from 5,5 to 9,7!!! I worked so hard for this bloody test to prove myself I am not stupid (lol)!! so big big thank you!!! I realized anatomy is my favourite thing to learn.

@freyadcoding8244

the multiple versions of notetaking, writing math notes down with words, and writing questions for future reference are amazing!

@sherrycohen1824

Thank you so much for this video. My rising middle school son has ADHD and dyslexia and I've been trying to find ways to help him learn without fighting me. What you said in this video is applicable to his age group and older.

@technocera

00:00 Make visual notes and use them to understand the main idea.
00:51 Embrace the struggle of learning
01:38 Effective note-taking involves learning in class and not relying solely on notes for studying.
02:26 Rereading notes gives an illusion of learning
03:15 Condense notes through iterations and understand linear vs non-linear note-taking.
04:08 Taking notes on an iPad and stylus is ideal for conceptual learning.
04:59 Understand math concepts before memorizing procedures
05:48 Writing questions is a great practice tool for studying.

@stayanonymourios

the understanding phase of learning is to use note taking techniques i.e.
 Feyman technique, whole-part-whole, analogies, storytelling, t-tree, and/or the QEC, PSA and Cornell methods.

Remembering phase = Active learning and spaced repetition i.e. pre test, stop and recite, writing qstns,  immediate review of mistakes,
delayed review, interleaving topics, retrospective timetable, shoe box method, teaching from memory, apps with algorithms, Remnote, Trello, Quizlet, Quizizz, Toggles,  pnemonics, occlusion or fill in the blanks.

@Thermospore

I was a top 1% student in electrical engineering. my note-taking secret is I simply didn't take notes

notes are just a scattered 3rd generation copy of the textbook. just go straight to the source

1. show up to lecture blind. don't take notes, just try to follow along. you won't be able to, but that's ok. the lecture is just a primer so you are more prepared to read the textbook

2. ideally the next day (give yourself a sleep cycle for things to sink in) go read the relevant section of the textbook. like, actually read and think about and understand all the concepts, equations, examples, and how they relate to what you already know. the textbook is your notes. after following this process, I know where everything is in the textbook and can refer to it as necessary. there are almost always nice tables and summaries and whatnot to refer to. only on rare occasions would I highlight or annotate something

3. ideally the next day, do the homework. it should be relatively easy, because you actually know what's going on and you have had some sleep cycles for it to sink in

4. rinse and repeat. before an exam, skim through the relevant sections to refresh your memory, and make a note sheet if allowed/needed
