[@Maximilian-gu8ex]

I feel like the visual process mapping method lacks the strategic component of studying. We answer the question of what study process we are doing in a study session and why, but we don’t answer the question of what we are studying that we are applying that study process to. We aren’t diagnosing the task (say of doing good in an exam) to identify the critical points that maximise output per unit effort put into them. These critical points aren’t necessarily specific areas of the syllabus but could be radically different approaches to performance and how you view preparation. I am sorry if this sounds confusing but the point of I am trying to make is that method of studying and strategy making are two different skills that are required for excelling academically and the VPM method does not acknowledge the latter.

Could you create a beginner video that’s tailored for complete newcomers? Thanks!

[@L84PA-T]

I've had a sour aftertaste because of how the video started. Oh, a problem that can't be seen and the only person that could help me is the one telling about the problem? I've endured the ever-present 'pain-solution' pair, and was pleased to hear two very valuable points that I feel the need to write down. An idea that a person is a sum of their choices is rather common. It is reinforced here and applied in a sense that the outcomes of learning will stay the same, as long as the strategies one picks up along their academic career don't change. In practise, when faced with a familiar kind of challenge, a person is likely to utilize familiar tools, however suitable they may be, in favor of searching for new tools. Which ties in nicely with another idea that observation precedes understanding precedes control. It's established that, before changing your habits, you must study them. Visual Process Mapping is the suggested framework to use here. Value of conscious attention and conscious practise is crossdisciplinarity, really. Nice to see it here.

I too wonder about this - effectiveness of mind mapping for math. Mind mapping is about building a mental map of your subject, an understanding of how things are related. IMO participants also seem to have that. I listened to one on KZbin who spoke about developing a mental map. For math it seems it is about distilling the global ideas of problem solving besides the conceptual understanding of the domain.

[@taufeeq8269]

[@brendanbudniak2261]

If you wanna do math from a conceptual level it's quite unintuitive but it works once you really get it. You have to understand the problem your solving in words first and then derive the approach to solving it then relate the formulas. You also have to approach problems from the point of view of 'forms' understanding what form of equation you are in and what substitutions you can rewrite it as and relate that to the problem

[@martinwilches6583]

when it comes to math, I always, drop the numbers. try to explain the concept of the theorem, proof etc that you are trying to learn. Sometimes we tendo to rely A LOT on the proofs already done ( since they WORK) without understanding what is happening deeply. Math is one of those subjects that is very easy to tTHINK you know

So I'm just gonna write a comment about what I do, I read, I write, I think (make connections and encode), sometimes I rarely test myself, and I get good grades. Also for math I just do the problems until I get them or see a solution and try a bunch of ways of solving them and the related concepts come to me after seeing the solutions a few times. I don't take notes, I don't do active recall unless it's testing myself but that isn't a habit. I do practice recalling a lot while reading or doing the problems but this should be obvious. I did the test and most of it applies to people that do a bunch of stuff so when asking about notes, which I don't take, I have to answer something even though it just doesn't seem to directly apply to me. My recall is good and my encoding is good enough to get good grades but I lose the info after about a month if I'm not thinking about it actively and to start thinking about it I have to read something about it, even something slightly related works or a conversation in a related topic will do. Basically my recall, interleaving, and over learning is plenty good I think my encoding could be better and faster and that would solve things. If learning how to take notes would help I would do it I just haven't found the right method for them yet. In short I don't care about school I am doing plenty good there I just want to be able to hold lots of info encoded well (make it stick better) and recall it easier than necessary for school. Edit: Forgot to mention there is one thing I am trying right now which is trying to actively remember names and what they studied especially and which papers I have read. If their in multiple fields of study so I can at least easily look up the things I'm looking for.

Hi mr sung from youtube, You make really high quality videos and in my opinion easily the best educational ones on youtube. And for that reason I have gone through many of them and learnt greatly. Since im approaching higher years in school, I realized that it would be a good idea to start learning properly. Unfortunately I would love to join the webinars where you explore your topics more but obviously it must be paid services(i assume) as nobody would give away such good wiseness for free. However, money is not the easiest to spare right now. btw i dont believe the free webinar shenanigans because there is always cost involved in those stuff. TLDR:(dont bother reading above) Anyways I have been sidetracked. So my original question was that you talk about so much stuff and i am really overwhelmed, but i would like to know which ones are the most to least relevant. Or the videos that may be the most most important to learn first for my circumstances. I did take your quiz thing(on another account) and it said my studying weaknesses were extremely bad priming and reference. And also do you have specific tips to focus on these two currently. the others are ok and i somehow got 100% on overlearning which is the most useless one super unlucky. I know you are a great person and i do really want to improve on my learning but in your videos there is so much info that i don't know where to start off. I did borrow some textbooks for the higher years so that i could maybe prime myself but then again how should i approach reading those textbooks? Please help!

Why are the resources necessary to extract value from a "main learning event/lecture" put under the why column of the visual process mapping sheet? This seems like putting "to consume gasoline" as a reason for driving your car, when the "why" for that is actually "to get to work." If the answers to the questions arent sensible, how good can such an exercise ultimately be? This seems like an opportunity to embed some instruction on how to maximize lecture time, and I have no better reasons to list than "to uncover knowledge gaps" or "to ask questions," and neither of them were put in any "why" column at all, so are they not really answers to "why" attend a lecture?
