We all know how to learn,
don't we?
After all,
we've been learning
for a long time.
But stop a moment.
Very often we focus
on what we're learning,
not how.
Knowing how
to learn is important.
You can reduce
your workload
and get better results.
Interested?
Of course!
So, what's
the shortcut to success?
Here's the bad news:
there's no single path.
Good news?
You can find the way
that's right for you.
How?
Reflect.
This means to think
deeply about yourself,
not look at
yourself in the mirror,
so you can understand
how you learn best.
Let's go back in time.
Think about
a good learning experience
in the past.
Why was it good?
And a bad one:
what were the difficulties?
How did you feel?
And what about now?
Which aspects of study
do you struggle with?
What comes easily?
You can keep a
learning journal as
you continue studying,
to understand your strengths
and weaknesses.
And consider your
motivation for studying.
You'll begin to
understand yourself better.
All this can help you prioritise,
and to make a study plan,
including selecting the best
tools for you.
Not those kind of tools:
study tools and techniques!
Why not pause the video
and look them up?
There are lots more.
And we're here to help you
learn how to learn.
In this series of videos, you'll
get practical tips on
note taking,
thinking critically,
writing assignments,
managing your time
and lots more.
Because once you know
how you learn best,
you're in the driving seat.
