Hello my dear hivers!
Maybe it's just me but I seem to have a ton of ways of studying. The first thing I do is to study the lesson and then I jot down the important terms. After that , I open the violet app to make flashcards, and then I create a reviewer on Docs and print it right away. I have found out that doing various study methods enables me to comprehend the lesson better, reading helps me get the idea, writing the notes makes me remember the details, and flashcards help me test myself. Using all these together makes the lessons easier to recall.
This method is quite powerful for me, actually. By doing this, I am able to grasp the lesson more and it also enables me to memorize the things I have studied. It even boosts my self-esteem as I am sure I have put in enough effort to understand the topic from different angles.
My class starts at 1 PM, by the way. So , even if we don't have quizzes or exams coming up, I still go over my lessons prior to our classes. I am more comfortable when I have an idea of the topic during discussions because I am more prepared for the instructor's questions. At the very least , I won't be completely clueless.
I left the house already by 11 AM. The weather today was great, one of those days where the sunshine is not too harsh, and it's just perfect for traveling.
As I explained before, our class starts at 1 PM but it takes at least 30 minutes to get to the school from our house. Besides that, I also want to come early so, when I get to the room , I can both review and relax for a few minutes while waiting for the instructor. Getting there early is also good for your mental preparation of the class because I am not a person who likes to be rushed or feel panicked.
It was only me in the room when I got there and it was very quiet. Naturally, I was also in the mood because this was exactly my plan, to study quietly and relish the few minutes of calm before the hectic class hours.
We went downstairs right after the first class since the room for the second subject is on the 2nd floor whereas we had our first subject on the 3rd floor.
Once we got to the 2nd floor, we stood in the corridor waiting as there was still a class going on in the room where we were to be. I took a photo while waiting because the weather was great and the sky was very clear. Days like this just make life seem lighter , and it gives me more energy to stay positive.
In short, when the time came for us to enter the classroom and the discussion started, I could actually share my ideas with the class, and my understanding of the lesson became deeper . It was a great feeling of accomplishment to see that my early review had really made it possible for me to be confident in my participation.
That is all for today's blog, my dear hivers!
