It takes time and sometimes is through trial<br \/>\nand error. Each class requires a different study method. For some classes flashcards might be the<br \/>\nway to go and for another class you might need to rewrite the notes. The study method to use all<br \/>\ndepends in the way you learn. I will explain the way I figured out how to study and how I have<br \/>\ndeveloped a routine for each class.<\/p>\n<p>As a visual learner, I like to study using drawings, diagrams and colors. I know the<br \/>\nmajority of students are visual learners. And many of us at first don\u2019t know what being a visual<br \/>\nlearner even means. The first step to figuring out a method to study is to find out how visual<br \/>\nlearners learn best. Many college classes use powerpoints to lecture, which at times only have<br \/>\nwords and no diagrams; they can be very bland. When I have courses that do that, I always take<br \/>\nnotes using different colors. Each color signifies the importance of the topic or relation to<br \/>\nanother topic and always bold and highlight what the professor emphasizes. When it comes time<br \/>\nto review your notes or study, you add a mood to your notes. If there are many vocabulary words<br \/>\nmake a chart with all the words or drawings that will help you remember when taking the exam.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.farmingdale.edu\/sites\/rambassadors\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/09\/katerin-melgar-blog.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3908 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.farmingdale.edu\/sites\/rambassadors\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/09\/katerin-melgar-blog-300x218.jpg\" alt=\"3 open books.\" width=\"300\" height=\"218\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.farmingdale.edu\/sites\/rambassadors\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/09\/katerin-melgar-blog-300x218.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.farmingdale.edu\/sites\/rambassadors\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/09\/katerin-melgar-blog.jpg 792w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>For the auditory learners, what works best is listening. Lectures are very long and<br \/>\nsometimes is hard to grasp all the information at once. For an auditory learner is best to record<br \/>\nthe class, and always with the professor&#8217;s permission. If they do not allow you to record their<br \/>\nclass, there are other methods to be successful. A method i have used that has worked for me is<br \/>\nrecording group study sessions. When you go back and listen you can hear for simple terms<br \/>\nother students use to understand, which may help you understand better. Another method you<br \/>\ncan do is record yourself reading the notes or the textbook, it may help you familiarize yourself<br \/>\nbetter with the material. Reading aloud always helps when reading something with<br \/>\nunderstanding.<\/p>\n<p>Verbal learners learn best by writing and speaking. When you have a hard class that<br \/>\ncontains a lot of notes, you may not want to rewrite all of them. For verbal learners, rewriting<br \/>\ntheir notes works best for them. When you rewrite your notes, you are emphasizing what you<br \/>\nwrote down in class. I don&#8217;t mind how long my lectures are but I rewrite my notes everyday after<br \/>\nclass, and once an exam comes I am able to go back and find myself very comfortable with the<br \/>\nmaterial. Verbal learners also can study by speaking; speaking to someone about the topic or<br \/>\nstudying in a group. When you teach someone else it means you understand the subject.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.farmingdale.edu\/sites\/rambassadors\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/09\/katerin-melgar-blog2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3909 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.farmingdale.edu\/sites\/rambassadors\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/09\/katerin-melgar-blog2-300x215.jpg\" alt=\"8 students sitting at circular round table studying.\" width=\"300\" height=\"215\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.farmingdale.edu\/sites\/rambassadors\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/09\/katerin-melgar-blog2-300x215.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.farmingdale.edu\/sites\/rambassadors\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/09\/katerin-melgar-blog2-1024x735.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.farmingdale.edu\/sites\/rambassadors\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/09\/katerin-melgar-blog2.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Not every method is going to work for everyone or for every class.
