- If you spend hours and hours of studying, without improving your grades, or information retention, then learn how to study smart by Marty Lobdell. Lobdell taught Psychology at Pierce College in Washington State for 40 years. During Lobdell's career, he has taught tens of thousands of students and he wants students to succeed. After watching students cram for eight hours or more for a test without any improvement, Lobdell has developed a studying technique that helps the brain retain the information that you are studying in this video "Study Less, Study Smart"
Watched this at 2X speed. Took me 30 mins. Watch Less Watch Smart.
That was a great comment.
I did the same and it was 30 minutes so now I can take my 5 min break
@@angusandre487 omg
Use -> right arrow to skip through the bullshit and scroll down to read comments instead. Watch Less Watch Smart.
Was it useful?
1. Don't study for too long if you are not enjoying it. Take short breaks after 20-30 minutes.
2. Don't study in the living room, bedroom, etc. Study in a separate place dedicated to studying.
3. Don't try to memorize without understanding. Try to understand the concept first.
4. Don't always study alone. Studying in groups helps a lot.
5. Don't highlight text blindly. Highlighting doesn't help that much. It only indicates Recognization not Recollection of the topic.
6. Always take notes. Reviewing the notes after a short time helps a lot.
7. Always try to teach others what you have learned. Teaching is the best way of learning.
8. Sleep is so much important for pushing something into your long-term memory. Get at least 7-8 hours of sound sleep.
9. Use the SQ3R(survey, question, recite, read, review) method while studying.
10. Use Mnemonics. It's the best way to memorize facts.
👍
Thank a lot m8
Thanks a lot!
@@sigmaruler578 You Are Welcome.
@@armandguillen6149 You Are Welcome.
1.) Reinforcement vs. Punishment
• Things that are reinforced → we do more of
• Things that are punished → we do less of
◦ Don't turn studying into punishment
• The moment (your studying effectiveness) slides, take a break
• Break = something you enjoy (5 - 15min of petting your cat/dog)
• When you are done studying for the day, do something nice for yourself
◦ ex. drinking beer at a pub
• "Studying is a training. And if you train yourself, it becomes relatively easier"
---------
2.) Environmental Cues
• We are controlled by environmental cues
◦ ex 1. studying in a bedroom → bed calls you
◦ ex 2. studying on a dining table → food calls you
• Reconfigure & engineer your environment to minimize unproductive cues
• Reconfigure & engineer your environment to optimize productive cues
◦ ex 1. when your "study lamp" is on → study
◦ ex 2. when your "study lamp" is off → don't study
---------
3.) Learning Experience Optimization
• True learning experience changes your behavior
◦ Question: conversely, can your behavior change your learning experience?
• The more active you are in learning, the more effective
◦ What is "active in learning"? → recitation (ex. talking to yourself)
---------
4.) Rote Memorization
• Rote Memorization = memorization through repetition
◦ most of us are bad at it
◦ not very effective
---------
5.) Fact vs. Concept
• Q: So how can we be effective?
• A: Decide what you are learning
◦ am I learning a "fact"?
◦ am I learning a "concept"?
• "Sigmund Freud is the father of psychoanalysis"
◦ fact = Sigmund Freud is the father of psychoanalysis
◦ concept = psychoanalysis
• Futility of knowing facts
◦ "Yeah, so what?" → question raised to understand conceptually
◦ "What does it do?" → question raised to understand conceptually
◦ "How does it function?"" → question raised to understand conceptually
• "Can you put the concept in your own words? If you can't, you don't understand it."
• To understand something both factually & conceptually, make it meaningful to you
◦ "To make it meaningful is a struggle. Otherwise, it's a waste of time".
---------
6.) Make It Meaningful
• When you remember a piece of information, don't simply remember it.
• Remember its application & relative value (thus establishing meaning)
• ex. Remember 30 words (ex. water bottle) while:
◦ group 1: counting the vowels of the 30 words
◦ group 2: counting the application of the 30 words in a deserted island & their relative value from 1-5 scale
• Group 2 remembered 100% more words
---------
7.) Recognition vs. Recollection
• "If you look at it, go to the next one, read it, and then stop and go back to the one before, look up in the sky and in your own words, say what that was about" - drives recollection
---------
8.) Sleep
• "If you are not getting a good night, typically around 8 hours, you are not getting enough 'rem'; what you've studied doesn't become permanent"
• REM = Rapid Eye Movement.
It's a brain activity that consolidates & stores information. It occurs when you sleep.
•"There's no money to be made by telling people to get more sleep. So you don't hear about it on TV."
◦ ex. "Sleep is our biggest competitor" - Netflix CEO
---------
9.) Note Taking
• "The first moment you get after a class, ideally right after the class... sit down with your notes and expand on everything you jotted down. Give it depth. Flesh it out."
• 5 min investment of expounding & summarizing your notes can ensure permanent recall of a given information
---------
10.) Recitation
• How to reinforce your learning (recitation):
1. Ask other people
2. Teach other people
3. Talk out loud
• Other examples of recitation
1. Write it out
2. Monologue it out
• Study optimization:
◦ 80% = spend on reciting
◦ 20% = spend on reading
---------
11.) SQ3R
• SQ3R
◦ Survey
◦ Question
◦ Read
◦ Recite
◦ Review
• "If you intend to find something, you find it"
◦ Thus, survey a textbook (don't read) while questioning
---------
12.) Mnemonics
• Mnemonics: any system that facilitates recalls
• Examples of mnemonics:
1. Acronyms
2. Coined Sayings
3. Interactive images (the more absurd, the better)
4. Note-taking
att'n, @JohnChoo9145 :
Like your instructive & useful✓
comment. CZcams positioned the
comment too low for most ppl to
come across it & actually see it 🏆
Great
thank you @johnchoo9145
Great help it was
the comment I was looking for, thank you so much
He didn't tell one of the most important ways of learning/teaching and yet he' s doing it the whole time. Humans remember and engage most through story telling. This is why his anecdotes are brilliant because we will remember his classes from the way he is sharing and communicating with us. It's why having a good teacher is also important and knowing the type of style you learn.
👍👍
he did though
*anecdotes. Unless the textbook is poisonous!
2:12
And I see it in every class I teach but how long do we teach? 50 minutes. And yet probably most of learning, if it's gonna happen, is in the first 25-30. Okay. I'm gonna talk about a person cause I also like to teach by anecdote. Woman named Janette. I was a junior at Western, she was a freshman, ...
So true...
I took notes of the main points of this speech, and I wanna share them to anyone who can find them useful so you may not have to watch the whole video if you don't have enough time.
1. Study on periods of half an hour and then go away and do whatever enjoyable thing you want for 5 minutes. Return to your desk and repeat (I personally find more useful the 50-10-50-10 minutes combo).
2. Have a desk specially for studying. Have a room specially for studying and working on your projects. Have a lamp, a chair, anything specially for studying. Don´t do other things in that environment. Go to other room or chair whenever you finish studying or working. Doing this makes your brain associate that environment with productivity, studying and working.
3. Don't listen to music not designed especially for studying purposes (even classical one) while you're studying. This is because you will find yourself giving part of your attention to the music or the lyrics, and you don't want to do that. Be focused in only one thing at a time.
4. Learn to differentiate between concepts and facts. Facts can be forgotten. It´s natural. But the things you really wanna learn and keep in your mind are the concepts. How does it works, what is the function of it, how does it connect to other concepts; that´s where you wanna struggle with.
5. Learning something is about to put a concept in your own words. To be able to explain that concept to a friend, a partner of studying, whoever asks you for an explanation.
6. TAKE Notes! Your brain is not a Hard Drive.
7. Realize the difference between recognition and recollection. Our brains are extremely good "remembering" things (only recognizing) when we read again a passage after we virtually forgot it. The prove that you didn´t remember that is that you would´nt have idea of that content without the help that brought that old idea into your memory.
8. Sleep good. That´s the main way the brain consolidates long term memory into a permanent memory.
9. About notes. Right after class take 5-10 minutes to read and expand the notes. Make them deeper and explain the thing with your own words. If you don´t have anyone to explain or talk about it, write it down. That´s a very important factor on getting useless notes into usable notes.
10. Teach another person. If you´re teaching and you don´t remember something or you can´t get into a good explanation, then you know where are the gaps of information that you have and what do you have to study again or ask the teacher the next day. If you can´t or you don´t have anyone next to you, teach an empty chair. That´s nothing wrong with speaking out loud to nobody if you realize what you are doing. Or, again, write it down. Make a dialogue with an imaginary friend who asks questions and you have to answer those.
11. Textbooks. Use the SQ3R method: Survey, Question, Read, Recite and Review. First, you wanna know a textbook isn´t a novel. You can go to the last page and I guarantee you nobody will discover who killed the main character.
You can follow this path:
a) take a brief look to the chapter you wanna study, watch the images, look what is all going to be about.
b) Look for the main questions. Does the textbook have some questions at the end of a section or a chapter? Write them down. At least, remember them (but having both things in your brain [trying to remember the main questions and studying at the same time may be very hard to do] Or you can use the Closure Effect in your favor). Even if you write them, have those questions in your mind so when you´re reading the textbook you can find the answers and know what is important and what is not.
c) Read the bold words. Titles, sub-titles, names, main ideas, everything that is marked. If the author and editor market that, it means they want you to read and keep that information on particular.
d) Read the first and last sentence in every paragraph. It just works (not always, but if the paragraph is long, it will be useful). If the textbook is well written, the first sentence in the paragraph will be an introduction of the idea of the paragraph, and the last sentence will be an overview of what was all about. With that in mind, all your outlook of the topic will expand and there you´ll be ready for:
e) Read the whole thing.
f) Try to answer the questions you made before. If you can´t, don´t worry, because the next step is:
g) Re-read the chapter. This time with a marker and a pencil in your hands. You can mark, now that you know what are you looking for, the actual main ideas, and take notes in the edge of the page.
h) Finish answering the questions you made before, make new ones (you know what are the important topics you want to have an answer for), and
i) Make anything you want to explain the topic to a children. You have to explain it in your own words, using simple language a 6-year-old kid would understand. You can write a complete essay pretending being an expert on the topic, and every time you feel gaps in your explanation, go read the material again.
When you have your study done, you´ll have 3 materials to work with: a) a textbook with useful marks and edge-page notes, b) a list of the main questions of the topic answered, and c) an essay (or mind map, whatever) made entirely by you, explaining all of it from zero to one hundred percent.
12. Recall. Between each of the steps of last point (a to i), you may consider taking 30 seconds to one minute trying to remember everything you learned before only with your mind (close your eyes if you want). Try to remember as close as the original material as you can. Once you finished, go to the next step and repeat
13. Use mnemonics. If you struggle with knowing which of which two different, but similar words, is the one which does something, and if is that of the other one which does the opposite thing, use acronyms, associate those concepts with images, a coined phrase; be creative. That´s a good way to remember a very particular group of facts.
Books I recommend about this topic:
- A Mind for Numbers (Barbara Oakley)
- Atomic Habits (James Clear)
- How to take smart notes (Sönke Ahrens)
Matías Ortiz thank you so much matías
thank you! it's been proven though that 30 minutes is too long for most people, 20 minutes is optimal for allowing you to remember what you've been learning best. and yeah short breaks are crucial.
thanks man
Your future at Ted is on the way.
Thank you !
Here I am watching a video about studying, instead of studying.
2 am rn and i have exams today
no, i have not studied yet
Even the legendary commenter has exams to fear of, i guess I've just been living too much of a convenient Life....guess I'll start studying....
If your reading this : go get some fresh air and start taking your life seriously so that you won't have to regret it later, like how i did.....
@@troysato6145 how did the exams go?
Wtf I just saw you on nik nocturnals video comment section. What a weird leap
Just an invesment for the long run, not an excuse at all..
00:15 - Study breaks + Reward system
What to know:
- By rewarding yourself with satisfying experiences, you create good impression about studying and reinforce such idea.
What to do:
- Pomodoro Technique: gotta make the best out of these breaks 😊
- Give yourself a big treat again after done studying 😊
10:19: Dedicated Studying Area
What to do:
- Get a Study Lamp (exclusive for this) + a Study Table (stay away from the bed)
- Once you've completed your studying quarters (Pomodoro technique), get up and leave the place
-> You're creating a study area where some of your specific behaviors are encouraged
19:49 Active learning
What to know:
(1) it means that you actually understand the concepts since they're related to your previous knowledge.
(2) you understand what you're doing this for rather than just superficially read or memorize them. You brain is very smart. If you speak meaningless words to it, there won't be any effect on it.
32:49 Study groups
What to know:
It's easier to learn from people sharing same experiences with us. These shared experiences allow them to connect their elaborations to our previous knowledge.
33:58 Recognition and recollection are 2 different things
What to know: Recollection happens when you can explain in your own words
36:57 Sleeping (REM)
What to do: Get enough sleep (8 hours) -> enough REM -> enough to consolidate and store our memories
39:09 Taking notes
What to know: Right after a class -> sit down and expand on everything in your previous notes. Give it depth. Note down all of your impression.
41:20 Active recitation
What to know: 80% of our time is best spent on teaching it back.
-> teach an empty chair
43:22 SQ3R
What to know:
Survey + Question: Encourage you to look for answers
47:42 Acronyms + coin sayings + Interactive images
What to know: Creating an acronym/ Coining a saying is a way to make sense and make fun of facts.
Interactive messages: make everything seems weird (such a weird story!) -> easier to recollect it next time
This is so useful thanks so much
Thank you for being so kind to help us get a quick summary!
Saved me an hour! Thanks! :D

Wow💞
11 years ago...but this speech will never be dead
Kids should learn this ealier in school rather than wait until they go to University.
Sadly it is something that needs to be taught students will not spontaneously figure it out themselves.

Well, at my U, they won´t teach you this. And I think it makes a huge difference to hear these words from a teacher like this. If only all teachers were so passionate about their subjeccts...

Lol same and I just watched the whole thing
I used to be like that lady in the beginning of the story. I think I was actually worst than the woman in the story because I barely knew how to read. I was in speical education for 10 years. I double down and studied 12 hours a day. I refused to stay dumb my whole life. I went extremely slowly through the material and relearn the basics over and over again. This actually worked and now graduated from college with a BA and a math degree. I have a good job. I'm studying engineering now. Learning for me grew exponentially. I kept improving and things which seems impossible like science. I was able to learn. I think without my struggles, I will never developed great discipline and able to going through very uncomfortable stuff.
Found this video about 6 years ago when I just couldn't pass my final accounting exams to obtain my professional qualification, used Marty's methods and became a fully qualified accountant 4 years ago. Still use his methods to this day even to learn documents and processes in work! You're the man Marty, thanks so much 🙏

It only changes your life if you ...? Change your behaviour!
# Study Sessions
1. Cut up study sessions. More studying doesn't help because you start to daze off.
2. Take a short break of about 5 minutes, and do something fun in the break, something you enjoy. The moment you start to daze off usually about 30 minutes, you take a break. As time goes on, the 30 minutes turn into 45 min 1 hr. Your studying time becomes more with less breaks in between.
3. Plan something special whenever your studying time is done. Ex. After 5 hours of studying time, reward yourself with a beer or something.
4. Create a study area, have a dedicated study lamp that you only use when you study.
# Learning
1. Know the concept and not the fact. Put the concept in your own words. Make sure the concept is meaningful to you.
2. Deeply think about the concept, don't superficially think about it. Ex. Think how useful that specific item will be on a deserted island, instead of counting the vowels of that item to remember it.
3. Study groups help performance.
4. Active learning. Read a section then go to the next section, then stop, close your eyes and say what the previous section was about. You will not forget it.
5. Get more rest, brain stores information better that way.
6. After class review and expand on your notes. If you wait too long before doing this, then you will forget your own notes.
7. Best way to learn is to teach someone else. It reinforces your learning and it tells you if you really understood it.
8. Learning from text, SQ3R. Survey, Question, Read, Recite, Review. Survey - Go through the entire chapter and ask questions, "what is this picture about an apple, what is this about this." This is causing you to look for answers. If you intend to find an answer you find the answer.
9. Use mnemonics to study facts Types of mnemonics are -> acronyms, coined sayings, and interacting images.
Omg thank you

Cant believe i was missing this and wasting 11 yrs of my student life
I use to study by teaching my mom. I would start by "mom, did you know that..." and I would explain to her what I learned and she would ask me questions. I am so blessed that she was interested in what I was learning and would engage with me.
Karina Divin damn girl you blessed fr cause my parents dont give two shits

You’re so lucky! What wonderful parents you have :)
I could just imagine you on the dining table asking that and your mom listening intently and caring about it, too. It makes me wish I had done the same for my little brothers.

That's the way to do it!

"If you intend to find something, you will find it." That's a life advice. It always been there, it's just been waiting for you to be ready or to want to find it.
I am thankful and relieved to have stumbled upon this video with a college professor teaching not just his classroom students who will someday become their own mentors of his teachings by demonstrating to current and future generations of the world his great life lessons and sharing of intuition but to the global audience and viewers of this video as well. This was such incredibly resourceful and powerful information he just projected for us to further develop our life's end goals, passion and endeavors. Can't wait to hear what's next in store from this extraordinarily brilliant guy. He seems to be really passionate about his job too which only makes it all the better
This guy gets it. Some professors aren’t engaging and then they wonder why we didn’t understand their 2 hour lecture
You want to be engaged to your professor? Gross. Get a room you two
So true! This is like a user manual, not too many go the extra mile. They come, they talk, they get paid, they go.
@@halfyear2991 No. What they mean by “engaging” is that the professor’s lecture is boring. Meaning that students are having difficulty connecting and understanding what is being told to them.
I need to send this to my chem lecture that bastard

Thanks for the heads up you're the real MVP!
Best comment in comment area !! THANKS !!
Appreciate stumbling across this so much!! I'm a high-school drop out and I'm returning to get my GED and hopefully go to college and my mind was so mushy trying to learn the math I need for the test, that I started thinking 'maybe I've been out of school too long, maybe I'm too dumb for this and should just accept that school isn't for me.' I started doing some of these methods (including sitting on my porch and explaining concepts to the squirrels scurrying by lol) and I already saw a huge improvement!!!! I'm not too dumb to learn, I just had to learn how to learn! I'm so excited to level up.
Because of this guy I got 95/100 national exams thank you
omg congratulations 👏
I watched this video about 2 months ago, when i was just entering a very stressful time (had to study for 7 chemistry and physics exams basically at the same time) and i thought why not apply those tips and see what happens. Well, I did and i passed every single one of them, even better than i expected and now i have my bachelors degree. Thank you very very much mr. lobdell!
happy for u :) hope everything is going well
Ay good for you 👍
Wow! Good job and congratulations!!!😊

This professor looks so insanely into what he's doing. So much passion and actual human emotion goes into his lectures. He's actually invested into helping people and doesn't just do it for the salary. Respect
you should check Jordan Peterson for a similar experience - although more controversial, but that s for you to decide.

I want to thank you so much for this video Mr. Marty ❤️❤️❤️
I watched this video on my fresh year in 2019, I tried to follow your rules on my college career and this month I will be defending my undergrad thesis.
I'm not a smart person, I know that I wouldn't survive if I don't have the right mindset for college, and this is the only no nonsense video about study that I found.
Now, here I am, I got a gpa above 3.5/4.00, 3 internship experience, and I already offered a position as an associate consultant in a big 4 consulting company this December, before I graduated. (This is a huge accomplishment for me, since I'm coming from a rural area in a remote village).
For you guys who are watching him in your fresh year. It works (at least for me). Just put your faith into his talk and do it.
I was supposed to do my assignments but I fell asleep while YT is playing on my phone. Then this video played while I was sleeping. I guess this is a sign I should go back to studying. 😅

@Thomas Borisov While people watch your every move taking the test?
Did you miss the part with the study light?
@@earlgrey2130 no
u can create different part in your room even on the bed like a different side or something. just make your enviornment different than it is usually. just something specific for studying.
just like what he said , you can use the "study lamp method " where you turn on the lamp every time your studying and only study not other things , so that kind of set your mind to study every time the lamp is on .
I study ''how to study'' more than that I spend time actually studying.
thats good tho
Doesn't it actually count as studying as well
I was doing the same thing for a while. I think it's kind of like a spank me Daddy I've been bad syndrome rather than actually seeking to improve. Now I primarily watch this stuff between semesters.
Well it's better to learn first how to study than just study for hours just to realize that you learned nothing. This can be really frustrating.
lmao i felt that
He mentioned singing along to a song, and I like that. My friend actually listened to wordless music when he was studying. I started doing that and it really helped while alleviating my need of it never being silent.
I've watched this lecture so many times and still enjoy it so much that I watch 5 minutes of it every half an hour while I'm studying.
My friend: So what did you do today?
Me: Just ya know sat in my rom listening to a man telling me to stop being stupid
And to stop studying lol
hahahahahaha

Incredible how this is available on the internet for free. We are so spoilt, and I think It's great.
totally agree. 80% of my basic knowledge are straight out from ytb and the best part is that it's free. I hope sooner or later I will repay these content creators what they deserve. my life depends on it. the only worry I have right now is that youtube will be taken down from the internet.
legit same
students these days are so fortunate to have such luxury like these help videos. it wasn't until CZcams was big that we were still struggling studying for hours just to get a low or failed grade.
Internet is a free service in your country? Time to move i guess.
@@Kirai_ i think they meant that once you have access to internet, then you’ll be able to find this kind of information for free. Internet is not free anywhere i think, except for some cafeterias or other stores maybe, but they still give you limited time for access.
When you reach a level of procrastination where instead of studying, you watch videos about studying.

Imagine watching a video about studying, instead of studying.
1. Use pomodoro and make it fun
2. Use a lamp and switch lights to make study a habit
3. Learn the concept first and then facts from Google or reference books
4. Put the concept in your own words
5. Take notes and write in detail later
6. Study groups
7. Recognition and recollection are 2 different things
8. Sleep well
9. Teach others
10. SQ3R
11. Mnemonics(acronyms,coined saying, interacting images)
I cannot express the gratitude I feel for Marty. So I'll just say thank you, kind sir.
Man, every time i learn something on the internet i get emotional, how fortunate i am to get such valuable knowledge by being just a broke ass bazilian? If it wasn't for internet i would never get involved with intelectual activities, i would never had learnded english and discover a hole new dimension of information. It is just incredible how a lecture from 9 yeas ago is eternalized to help me and other millions of people with no geographic, economic and time related limitations.

@@naturalattempts4504 lolol
This is literally one of the best and most engaging lectures i have watched. That is what you call a teacher.
1. Pomodoro technique - reward yourself for
breaks
2. Give yourself a large reward after each long
study session
3. Create a dedicated study space for yourself
- keep it sacred
1. leave the desk every time you take a
break
2. focus your brain - don't listen to music
4. The more active you are in learning, the
more effective
1. decide what you are learning - fact or
concept?
2. you must understand the concepts - put
it into your own words to make it meaningful
for you
5. Take notes in the lecture
1. as soon as you finish class, review your
notes and flesh it out in 5 mins
6. Make use of study groups to increase performance
7. Highlighters make you confuse recognition
with recollection
1. continuously test yourself
8. Don't ruin good studying with inadequate
sleep (8h needed) - REM is important
9. The best way to learn is to teach someone
else or object - talk it out loud
1. write it out in your own words
10. Use textbooks effectively - they are so
powerful
1. SQ3Rs: Survey, Questions, Read, Recite,
Review
1. survey - look at subheadings, pictures
and raise questions for yourself 'what is x?
what is y?'
2. look for answers - if you intend to look
for it, you will find it
11. Use mnemonics to remember facts
1. acronyms
2. coined sayings
3. interacting images - work the best; the weirder the image the better
"If it doesnt change your behaviour you havent learned it. Its just in your head" amazing
but behaviour is in the head
"students can't focus on a lecture thats more than 20~30 mins long"
"anywayz, here's dis 60 min lecture lol"
It depends on the subject and how mental effort it takes. More the mental effort it takes more easily brain gets tired. In this case it's just informative listening
lmao
Well, for regular students yes---but he is interacting with them and his audience are all students who can relate to what he is saying--not domain specific knowledge that could be a mental torture. So, he made it through and we're glad he shared this with us.
LMFAO

I also have adhd and was able to concentrate for the full hour, that's when you know this is a great teacher

"In some cases studying more might make you do worse" - Ok now you've got me hooked
@@trembling3674 timestamp
I feel grateful that I'm able to watch this for free.
5 years ago I watched this months before I took the bar exams to improve my study/review habits. This is very effective (and I passed the bar). "The moment you start to slide, you're shovelling against the tide."- that stuck with me. It is important that this is done with focus and under a blocked schedule. And of course, personal treats is just as important too!
I went back to school in 2014 after originally having to drop out due to health problems. My first two years was done at a community college to save $$. In high school, I was lucky enough to be able to barely study at all and maintain a high GPA. That first semester back, I tanked *every* class. My second semester, I took a Freshman Symposium and they taught us a bunch of active study techniques. I still use them now, in medical school, and they've been a life saver. As a non-trad student, I don't have the luxury of being able to focus on school alone. I have to work. But I'm lucky enough to work in a hospital pharmacy and my PIC is very supportive. Without relearning how to study effectively, I probably never would have made it.
Hello Kirsten?
Sometimes the CZcams recommendations are a blessing and a curse.
ARE a blessing and a curse.... ARE. lol.
- Study for 25 -30 min slots. : Then take a break for 5 mins and then get back to study. Break can be treat to recharge your brain.
- Have a study area: Always use the study area. Use study lamp to be switched only when studying.
- Understand concepts: What am I learning : fact or concept ? Grasp the concept so you can derive.
- Expand your notes after class : Give it depth
- Recapitulate your learning : Go teach someone else, it reinforces your learning. Active recitation.
- SQ3R : Survey, Question, Read, Recite, Review. While starting, survey the chapter and ask questions.
- Rote Memorization : 1) Mnemonics 2) Coined sayings 3) Interacting Images (Use visualisations)
thankyou
You’re an angel
Thank you
thanks!
You're a boss. I didn't have to watch the whole video. Now that's smart.
The professor is a gold mine, he'll be an inspiration for generations of students.
An enthusiastic and engaging lecturer makes learning so much easier. Thank you Marty
I tried to summarize the whole lecture, and I'm really sorry if I made any mistake.
I hope it helps you:
1. Break it up into small chunks and reinforce it.
Find out what is funny to do during short breaks, and what is a great reward at the end of the consecutive studying hours.
---------------------------------------------------------
2. Create a study area.
Turn your table and chair to make your bed behind you, so that you don't look at it and remember sleeping.
Try studying at some study café.
---------------------------------------------------------
3. The more active you are in your learning, the more effective.
The way to learn effectively is first you have to decide what you are learning: facts or concepts?
Understanding the name of a bone is a fact, but understanding what it does in the body is a concept.
If it's a fact use Google, references... etc.
Concepts are more important.
Learning only the facts is a waste of time, for example, I remember the lyrics of thousands of songs but do I know what are those songs about?
I don't know what is 90% of the songs are about.
Can you put the concept in your own words?
If you can't; you don't really understand it. It's not meaningful to you, and to make it meaningful is a struggle that you need to do, or you're wasting your study time.
Take the time to discover the meaning of it.
What is the meaning of meaning?
A meaningful piece is a piece that relates to something you already know. Ex: a file system, that you've already established, you add a new entry to it so it's all neatly organized, and it's very easy if you got a file system to add a new entry.
A meaningless piece is a piece that does not relate to something you already know. So, how should you understand something brand new?
You have to create a new entry. You should break it down.
Tips of advice:
A. Study groups are powerful & great.
B. Read the whole thing (ex: 4 paragraphs) & then get back and read and understand the 1st paragraph again, one by one.
C. Sleep well, have a good rest for your memory.
D. Write notes during the class, and right after the class; sit down with your notes and expand on everything you wrote down, give it depth. If you want to do it after 2 hours you will have forgotten some of your own notes.
E. Look for classmates and ask them for help.
F. Active Recitation: The best way to learn is to teach somebody else. If there's no one, teach an empty chair, or write it out.
---------------------------------------------------------
4. How to use textbooks?
Use "SQ3Rs": Survey, Question, Read, Recite, Review.
Survey: a textbook is not a novel, so you can go through the entire chapter and survey it.
Question: you raise questions as you go through the survey, ex: what is X here? , what is Y..?...etc.
Read & Recite mentioned before.
Review: give yourself enough time to review what you've studied. We usually make a mistake when we start studying shortly before the exams which leaves us with NO time to review what we've studied.
---------------------------------------------------------
5. Acronyms and interacting images.
Acronyms help you remember and memorize facts, terms, and idioms.
Interacting images help you understand and also connect things together and memorize facts.
---------------------------------------------------------
Great job
Thanks
Thank you, this was really helpfull!
oh thank you so much
gonna screenshot this, thank you:)
Just invested an hour of my time learning how to study less and study smart. I wish I have known this when I was in high school and college. it's never too late to learn. Love it. thank you, Mr. Lobdell. The world needs more teachers like you.
yes
I d also argue it needs more students like you, ready to learn for life and not just up to their time in school and college!
Thank you for bettering your community!
Imagine if at the beginning of every college year all of the students had an hour lecture on how to learn and absorb information. I can only imagine how much more successful students may be.
czcams.com/video/eMlXwdPsfP8/video.html
@@WhatsThisWhoa well it would be great but most of them will only remember what was taught for the first 25-30 minutes of the class😆
Study for about half an hour. (3 PM to 9 PM)
Take a break for about five minutes to do something fun.
Something fun = call a friend / talk to a child, parent, or roommate, enjoy some music
If you've studied till midnight and after the last 20-30 min of your studies, give yourself a big treat.
Big treat in the sense you can even have a beer (only if you like beer)
create a study area.
use a lamp to study and label it as Study Lamp. That means you're not allowed to use the lamp for other functions such as dressing, eating, etc...
try not to study in the bedroom if you have a separate study area.
If you can't arrange a study room, sit next to the bed where you can't see it. If not your bed will call you to lay upon it.
Do rote memorization. That means reading or saying something over and over again. But yet not the most effective or efficient way.
Understanding the name of a bone is a fact. understanding what it does in the body gets into a concept. So, do both facts and concepts at the same time when studying. Don't ever forget about the concepts, because learning or memorizing only facts is useless.
If you highlight important things on papers, books, just recognize it, then go to the next page or chapter and look up in the sky and tell yourself in your own words that what was it about in the previous chapter.
Sleep better (8 hours)
Try to take notes right after you learn something like after a class.
Ask for you friends or teachers if you don't quite understand about something, and don't forget to teach someone else who doesn't understand something you already know.
Do the SQ3R as a studing technique = Survey, Question, Read, Recite, Review
Start studying early if you have an upcoming exam, not night before the exam... You shoul dedicate your night before exam for resting.
Sometimes a 'saying' help you remember things.
The best lecture in my entire life. The whole hour passed flying! Thank you for being a great teacher

I love this style of teaching, a good teacher is a master storyteller
yes, it's not a student's bad, the teacher is not good.
My english teacher used to take breaks when he remembered a funny story and he’d tell us about getting arrested for protesting and shoving stuff in meat truck exhausts or something so it wouldnt drive and stuff like that and blaming stuff on his twin brother when he was younger and we’d laugh and suddenly it was so much easier to focus for the rest of the lesson and remember what he was just talking about.

We have just successfully defended this video from a bogus copyright violation claim. The claimant admitted they made a mistake. This video is entirely produced by Pierce College, its staff and faculty and Pierce College in Washington State, USA is the legal copyright owner. Please enjoy Professor Lobdell's video as everyone has their personal, successful study habits and, as a teacher for decades, Professor Lobdell has seen many different styles.

I had gone through several years on research and self analysis to get into learning and studying, what I learnt most is presented in this video clip. He explained in a way as I already perceived that. I bookmarked this several months ago but the time which came today to watch it. Anyway a man will be there to explain a thing like some human psychology and more! Cheers✌🏻🤝🏻🤞🏻
This is a great example of how teaching is as much about charm as it is intellect. Super lecture.
I decided to watch this video after I wanted to change my ways of studying to get better grades, so I took my time and took notes. Here is the result for anyone that doesn't have the time to watch the full video:
-cycles of 30 mins study with 5 mins break to always stay efficient 100% or at least 90%.
-create a study area
-"if it doesn't change your behavior, you haven't learned it"
-what am I learning? concept or fact
put the concept in your own words- if you can't, it doesn't matter to you and you won't remember it.
-make things meaningful, add files to already established files
-recognition is not remembering. Tips :
*study term A, study another term, go back to term A, look into the sky and rephrase in your own words
*if you don't get 8 hours of sleep, what you study doesn't get stored efficiently nor permanently
*you need to give up some other activities : sacrifice is key. We all have hours that we waste in superficial things.
-Take notes, write immediately after the class; it takes only 5 minutes.
-If you want to ask a question, don't say the (I don't understand), be specific.
-Teach another person. If you don't have someone, teach a chair. (my personal favorite is teddy bears as a group of students haha)
-SQ3R - Survey, Question, Read, Recite, Review, to get the most of of textbooks.
-Normally, before a test, you should only be touching up and reviewing. Putting all-nighters and late studying only results in poor performance.
-To recall what you study, use Mnemonics - Acronyms, Coined sayings, Interacting images (the weirder the images, the better).
I will be applying these and seeing if my performance and grades get better ^^

- no music except certain study music
- special desk/ room for studying/working
- learn concepts before facts (be able to explain things in your own words)
- take notes
- teach another person
- use mnemonics
- for textbooks:
-- feel free to move to different chapters- it's not a novel
-- for each chapter: see images, main points and questions
-- write down questions in the book
-- read bold words, titles, names, main ideas and marked text
-- read first and last sentence of each paragraph
-- read the whole book
-- try to answer questions
-- reread the book and answer questions you couldn't before
-- reread with a marker and pencil
-- answer questions, come up with your own for the main topics
-- write an essay for topics that a child could understand
-- get between 7-9 hours of sleep every night to improve memory and efficiency when studying

Ceren bienien has its only wasting time if you don’t learn or change from it.
It IS NOT wasting time if you actually TRY to put effort
Don't think that way. Because you are not learning from them. So try to write some notes while you are watching and then only one lecture would be enough for your whole career as a student

"If you haven't changed behavior, you haven't learned it." Wow, that's so true.
They should have been applauding. Thank you Marty Lobdell for this excellent presentation!
You're a legend sir! I always come back to your video every once in a while. Thank you so much sir!
00:15 - 1) Don't study for too long if you are not enjoying it. Take short breaks of 5mins after 20-30 minutes.
07:50 - 2 Reward system
10:19 - 3) Dedicated study area (Behavior Reinforcement), Don't study in the living room, bedroom, etc. Study in a separate place dedicated to studying. Special desk/ room for studying/working
19:49 - 4) Rote memorization vs. Active learning. Don't try to memorize without understanding. Try to understand the concept first. (be able to explain things in your own words)
32:49 - 5) Don't always study alone. Studying in groups helps a lot.
33:58 - 6) Highlighting books (Recognition vs. Recollection)
36:37 - 7) Don't highlight text blindly. Highlighting doesn't help that much. It only indicates Recognization not Recollection of the topic. (Recognition vs. Recollection)
36:57 - 8) Sleep is so important for pushing something into your long-term memory. Get at least 7-8 hours of sound sleep. (REM Sleep)
39:09 - 9) Always take notes. Reviewing the notes after a short time helps a lot.
41:20 - 10) Active Recitation, Always try to teach others what you have learned. Teaching is the best way of learning.
43:22 - 11) Study from books, Use the SQ3R(survey, question, read, recite, review) method while studying. 20% reading 80% reciting
47:42 - 12) Use Mnemonics. It's the best way to memorize facts. (Acronyms, Coin Sayings, Interactive Images)

شكرا
nice
you saved my life bro, thank you sm
Wow thank you man!
❤thnkss bro.. u just saved me an hr
just started watching, I will be severely disappointed if he doesn't take a break at the 25-30 min mark
How was it? It's actually quite easy to watch and not a heavy topic imo
Bro I've watched the full video without looking anywhere, he's not teaching rocket science c'mon
"It doesn't take a half hour break to recharge your batteries"
Me watching this after being on "break" for 6 hours: haha yeah
breaks are unreal!? lol
what kind of brain`yack's brain breaks??
I was a freshman 4 years ago in college. Graduated with a bachelor's degree in criminal justice-police science. I found this video when I was trying to study for my first then. I ended college my senior year with a 3.9 average just under a 4.0 with Magna Caum Laude award. This professor's tips work!
I was really upset due to my grades. And have taken a gap year to work on my self, identify my study methods. And improve my habits........ Thank you so much professor! I'll surely comeback after getting into my desired med school to thank you for the motivation and these really special methods! 🙌🙌
That is exactly how I study. I focus on learning for 1 hour and then relax about 20 to 30 minutes before continuing. My grades are doing pretty well too. My other classmates study for extended period of times without breaks, they even sometimes skip sleep to study more and they do much worse than me when it comes to grades.
1.Pomodoro
2.Study Area
3.Active Learning(understand the concept)
4.Study Group
5.Rest
6.Study notes right away
7.Talking out loud
8.Preread with questions(causing you to look for answers, activates search mechanism)
9.Small sayings
Deep focus, short breaks, reward at end
Designated study area
Concepts vs Facts
Break down concepts, make them relatable
Recognition is NOT remembering. Practice recall.
REM sleep is crucial.
Study groups are very useful.
Practice explaining to others, own words. Talking to chair works too (talk out loud).
Review notes DIRECTLY after class. Best 5 minute tradeoff.
How to textbook: Survey, question, read, recite, review (SQ3R). (Bonus: SQR4 is +relate)
Mnemonics: acronyms, coined sayings, interacting images.
REWARDS.
Cool. Thanks for the summary!
You skipped over the reward section
Evian Things Thx! Fixed
pomodoro isn't perfect, he says when you start to drift off take a break. Which is different for every person
