Filmed at Jalinga Studio in Shoreditch, East London (ad.jalinga.co.uk/?.... Luckily, I've been able to get a lil deal for you guys. If you state my name, you can get an hour free trial at the studio to record something of your choice. I love how interactive, clear and quick filming at Jalinga Studio was - I absolutely cannot wait for you guys to get access to the whole course.
Since 2018, I have been developing a research thesis report writing course. I've taken all the feedback and questions from my videos over the last few years and complied the ULTIMATE guide for writing your thesis. Everything from creating a blank thesis template on Word, devising the research question, searching for papers and writing each chapter is included. For each chapter, I have provided a list of words and phrases that can be used as sentence starters, to guide you smoothly through the writing process. I know how daunting it can be, especially seeing that blank page and with no clue how to begin.
Over the next week, I will be posting one video a week with a little sneak peak from different chapters to show you some of what is to come. When released (next week), I will update this description with the link to the complete course.

I now see why you chose to become a doctor! You were born for this level of collegiate education! Thank you for this. I felt myself getting rusty since graduating grad and I decided to take up an extensive reading hobby. However, I want it to be a decade(s) commitment. So my plan is to use this system you shared with us for each book I read and my data will be compiled in Mead notebooks. I’m giving my further self and descendants something to look forward too and read. I keep a journal, and now I have a reason to scout & buy a second chest. 😌

[@fadwafitriani9642]

Can you tell me how to use this theory on quran memorisation

[@hello-iq2ug]

@@fadwafitriani9642 Thanks for asking. In this video sister, Amina told about various methods of effective learning. You have to start your Quran memorization with MISRI QURAN Because these techniques can be easily applied to it. Example.-> Preview the text, as we all know it's easy to memorize but difficult to always keep in our head, for strong hifz, we have to revise(Preview the text on the daily basis). ->Analyse and look for patterns and repetitions. Repetition is the mother of learning, looking at patterns of different ayat and memorization then helps you to not be confused, in recalling them in the correct sequence.. While repeating, again and again, makes the page permanent in your memory. Similarly, there are many points you can learn from this video, most important is to take the start. because there are many points that, I cannot explain in words, but in order to learn them, you have to feel by yourself. For that, you have to start your Quran memorization journey All the very best jazakallah :)
