How to successfully pass the session without cheating: Tips seasoned student
Forming Motivation / / December 19, 2019
As you know, all self-respecting students preparing for the exam on the last night, before that spent half an hour near the open window, furiously touting "free". Night "brainstorming" organizes each in their own way. Someone carefully writes Spurs, believing that all will be passing the course material in the head (such students a little - the method does not meet the realities of the time, when the Spurs sold on every corner). Someone looking for a friend who tomorrow morning will agree to sit "on the phone" and help pass the exam thanks to modern means connection (such greater since it is not only what is called, in the spirit of the times, but also a kind of adventure: "Professor, burdock, welcome! "). Well, someone (such very little), cursing myself for not having caught himself before carefully bison.
And we must sympathize with that, and another, and the third, after heavy share of the student. However, the third can not only sympathize, but also to help. There are a few simple rules that will greatly facilitate the process of remembering and at times will increase the efficiency of the brain.
Rule 1. Give yourself proper installation
It is difficult to find a student who has not studied philosophy, even more difficult to meet someone who would have thought of it more than a "Hegel created a doctrine of absolute spirit ...". And not because the subject boring and rather complicated, just most of the students perceive it as "unnecessary" and taught philosophy on a "pass and forget." This setup works fine: just received the coveted stroke of the pen in zachetke, erased from the memory of the student everything he learned. And nothing can be done about it - psychology. So it is important before starting the preparation for the exam give yourself installation, that the material you need for the future career and a successful career.
Rule 2. Do not try to grasp the immensity
How the teacher would recite you a lecture? Semester? That is, even if a week for 1 lecture per semester then received an average of 25 pairs, 20 hours. Too much for one night, right? Even if you managed to read (not learn!) All the student cafeteria for a long time you can not visit, and eat cereal out of your head. Therefore, do not try to grasp the immensity! Rather, the lecture should read everything there was to the overall picture, the concept of studying the course, but do not need to read carefully and thoughtfully, and visibility, the main thing to catch the essence. Try to remember this when common terms and phrases (and thus you will build conceptual system) and pay attention to the examples - they will help you find out faster theme.
Rule 3. Think logically
We have already decided that not necessarily memorize all the lectures, like a poem, the main thing to understand their "salt". This is easiest to do, logically comprehended the material under study. And for this, as they say, all good: imagine a picture visually (as two small atoms "met" on a deserted street and decided to "live together", united in the molecule), draw charts and tables, ask a friend to give a lecture and explain "their words. " The main thing that you have understood the process well and could easily talk about it, just based on logic and your understanding of how it works, how it happens. Indeed, psychologists have long proven that memorizing, based on the logical comprehension of the information is 4 times more effective than mechanical cramming. To fix the logical comprehension of the material, try to build a reverse chain. For example, describe first the function of a single bank, and then the Central Bank of the Russian Federation and then the entire banking system of Russia.
Rule 4. learn the definition of
Many students underestimate the importance of definitions. In fact, the determination (the "technicians" - also claims), really need to "fly away from the teeth," as this usually requires teachers.
Firstly, in the determination of well-written, as a rule, it contains the answer to a question of the ticket, and sometimes more than one. For example, the question "The concept and features that whatsoever" in 99% of cases can be answered, knowing only one definition, because in the long and "zamudrennyh" definitions, and contains all the features:
Right - this is a system of mandatory formal-defined rules of behavior in society. Signs Law: consistency, commitment, formal definitions.
Reveal the signs and the concept in more detail, you can thanks to form a general idea of studying course.
Secondly, in any academic discipline definitions that you need to know and that I need to be able to use not more than 30, that is, it is only 30 proposals. They can learn in 30 minutes on average, but that they are not forgotten in the morning, repeat them in an hour after the learned, and then another 2-3 hours and be sure before you go into the exam.
And finally, thirdly, how many times have you crushed by your "knowledge" to hear the teacher: "Although definition of Economics (philosophy, political science, pedagogy, etc.) as a science and let me, I will set thee "Three"? "
Rule 5. Do not overload yourself
This rule is well known and obvious: every hour or two to prepare to do a 5-10 minute breaks should stand up to stretch their legs, breathe fresh air, to go to another room, etc. This is necessary to attention and memory did not work in vain, as all mental processes are slowed down and blunted with continuous access them over 60 minutes. And, most importantly, if you feel that you "can not anymore," his eyes closed, and the textbook falls out of hand, you should not "rape" itself and drink gallons of coffee. It will probably be more correct to go to bed, because the exam you need to go with a "fresh" head.
Break a leg! :)
