It hurts a little to know that the majority of people can watch a video or lecture or read a chapter of a textbook and simply... understand and retain information from them. If anyone is reading this, I hope you never take that for granted. I have to work so hard just to process the words and turn each paragraph or lecture slide into notes that I can understand. Then I have to review my notes multiple times and make them into simpler "summary" notes. Then I review these notes a bunch more times, quiz myself on them, and then "teach" them to my partner to see if I actually understand the material. Then I have to review and practice repeatedly to remember anything. I wish there were more resources for people with learning disabilities. Neurotypicals can study "inefficiently" and still be successful, but there are so few people out there trying to help people like me optimize our studying even though we desperately need it.

@Presley Bohlmann agreed! I take a lot of notes to make sure I keep up with the lecture and don’t just space out and miss things during it, and I also make little diagrams/pictures and I word and organize the information a little bit differently. Also if the lecturer gives a hint that a specific topic is important and might be in the test it’s easy to mark it in the notes right away with a specific color and then maybe make practise questions or flashcards based on that after the lecture.

@@deivisony Its another process of learning, known as chunking or mindmapping. This helps you group information into categories and you can recall it easier. So if you are taking notes take mind maps or bullet points which are under a heading. Taking no notes is quite bold and isn't easy to implement, so if you do want to take any take it during class and it already helps with understanding. But obviously it is time consuming so I don't reccomend doing it outside of class.

The interesting thing about learning it's the fact that there is basically two phases: understanding + remembering. So FOR ME there is the active reading or the taking notes part + lecture that helps me to understand the subject. But than it depends of the content to know how I'm gonna test my self to remembering ( mainly anki if it's fact information and questions and problems if it's applicable information). So you need to find your understanding process + your remembering method. Than YOUR study method is complete.

Going to go against the current a bit here. I followed the advice in this video and my performance in med school actually declined. I immediately reverted back to my original learning process. I believe that learning happens in stages. The acquisition and synthesis of lecture content through taking notes/organizing the material prior to implementing active recall and spaced repetition through Anki(or any other program) is a necessary step in the learning process. I vehemently disagree with the idea of only watching a video then using Anki the rest of the time. You’re skipping the step in which you can organize the material so it makes sense to YOU. Be it through diagrams or schematics, the process of organizing and synthesizing material is incredibly helpful. ESPECIALLY, prior to implementing active recall strategies. This trend with KZbinrs antagonizing note-taking due to evidence of decreased efficiency towards retention of material completely misses the mark on why note-taking is primarily done to begin with. We take notes in order to help synthesize and/or organize material, to increase our UNDERSTANDING and to build a mental framework of the material (especially in concept heavy courses). Retention can then be taken care of later on with Anki, practice questions or any other method. Please stop antagonizing notes for views.

Yeah it's pretty obvious why this approach failed. You didn't know to use it properly. The step you're talking about that occurs before Anki and wrongly crediting note taking for is called "understanding". Everyone says that you have to understand the material before using Anki. It's pretty self explanatory but everyone stresses this in all the Anki and "How to make good flashcard " videos. That's the exact point of this videos. To understand the material. Like he says in this video ,he previews the material before class. This double go-through the material ,again, facilitates understanding. Heck,the process of making Anki cards yourself also does exactly what you claim that note taking does.When You make Anki cards ,you try to synthesize the information in a way that makes sense to you. Heck,the whole concept of Active recall is just that. You kind of made it clear yourself that you don't grasp how this works since you literally that "Retention can be done later with Anki". Anki isn't just for the spaced repetition. You have to use it for "Active recall". I think that's where your problem was. You didn't active recall and rather devolved Anki into a tool for rot memorization. My suggestion would be to go search on videos on how to increase your understanding of the material.

@@abdullahahmad4239 Anki is not and has never been a panacea for learning content. Many before us have excelled without it, although it is an excellent tool. You have two main flaws in your argument one is that you’re trying to draw a parallel between note-taking and anki, the two have mutually exclusive limitations and benefits. The “process”of note-taking allows a student to piece together ideas and connect them VISUALLY in one living document, which you can then review and recall regularly. It’s only passive if you allow it to be. Anki becomes especially inefficient in concept heavy courses that thrive on the connection of many ideas, the random assortment of hundreds of cards becomes a frenzy of disconnected data points. The other flaw is that you’re equating “watching a video” or “previewing the material” as a substitute for note-taking when in reality neither of the two offer the same benefit. Note-taking is an opportunity to interact with the content and reform it to fit your own understanding. Im not saying anki is ineffective, it isn’t. What I’m saying is you need to realize it has its limitations and be able to recognize when other methods may be more efficient.

Note taking is a skill. I take notes and refine them when needed. Notes are your self defense when you practice medicine, it is a must. On my residency training, we had frequent debates with fellows and when you have your notes organized and study it consistently like a priest and his bible, no one wants to mess with you. So please students organize your notes unless you are a genius freak that can remember overwhelming information for the rest of your life.

Thought I was crazy and disrespectful to the professor for not taking notes. As a new college student I would go crazy with Cornell notes and I wasn’t able to get through reading a chapter before my instructor moved on. I fell behind, felt discouraged, and ending up dropping out, but three years later I restarted for nursing. No notes, just reading and really trying to learn the chapter without interrupting my thought process with notes. I usually read the chapter before class, attend zoom lecture, do practice quizzes, labeling games, and explain what I’m learning to my husband in ways that he’ll understand. I’m a year in and have a 3.8 gpa. If you’re struggling don’t be discouraged, just find a new study method that works for you and remember to work smarter not harder!

I really don't get the hatred so many people have for highlighting. You just need to do it right! When I read the material for the first time ill highlight the important point of the paragraph, for example in a paragraph about a hormone having a particular effect in a blood vessel I'll highlight the hormone name and the effect. This is so helpful for every next time I'll study cause I can run through the material, quickly see what each paragraph says and think "do i know this? " If it is something I know well i can just skip it and this whole process takes a split second. And when i encounter something I don't remember well I immediately realise it and focus on the issue. Highlighting works, you just have to highlight the important stuff

Be very careful with overtaking someone else's study technique especially if its a drastic change like this. It's much harder for me to understand big concepts when i immediately go for doing flashcards and dont write/sketch it down in my own words before. My current technique is to make summaries on paper and then do active recall on them/feynman by covering parts that i want to recall. It maximized my efficiency by about 300%

Although geared towards med school, I think this overall approach is super solid, preview, practice questions, spaced repetition. But for more heavily application-based courses (chemistry, math, physics), don't be afraid to take notes and write! You 10000% cannot get through an "problem-solving" class without writing haha

So here‘s some notes (:-) I took about this: Plan the evening before what you‘re going to do next day. A very short list. Preview (prepare) for the next day. Requires you to know or guess what‘s coming. That makes you more prepared. Make short question / answer cards, als known as flash cards*) about the material to come: How would you quiz a friend on that material? Basic idea: if you hear about a topic in class for the first time, you were not well prepared. Think about class as a meeting. You want to honor everyone‘s, and your, time by being well prepared. View: While in a lecture / class, don‘t waste your time making notes**). Listen and engage actively, and ask meaningful questions, and in class, or immediately after class: Review those questions that came to your mind, and make some short question/answer cards if you found good questions. What might you as a teacher quiz on a test about what‘s being explained right now? Practice Test: Do those flash cards often, space them out over the days so that you come back to material regularly. Do that every day. Add more questions like what you were having problems with, or what you found elsewhere. *) He speaks about „Anki“, which is an application for flash cards. That‘s great and I am all for using technology for learning. But plain simple little paper cards also do. When I studied, I literally had shoe boxes full of them **) If the teacher insists on you taking notes, then do so, but in this case mark up with some colors, on your notes, clearly „Q“s (questions) and „A“s (answers) you‘d later be putting into flash cards. Essentially, what he does is to prepare, engage actively, and regularly with the key points of the material coming up with questions and answers that he finds relevant.

Thanks for mentioning Anki and the spaced learning method in general! I am at the top of my (non-medical) field, and I used Anki 15 years ago to help me pass the most difficult certification test in my field. I recently did a very high profile consultation and needed to recall a very specific, but very important, detail from that training to help them solve a problem that had gone unresolved for months. I instantly remembered the mnemonic I made 15 years ago and drilled into my long-term memory using Anki, wrote it on the whiteboard, and walked a group of 15 highly experienced engineers through something that I haven't touched in 15 years! Spaced learning, through flash cards or digital organized flash cards like Anki are absolutely the best way to commit concepts to your permeant memory. I'd love if in the year 2035 you come back to this comment and post a similar situation. I'm sure you will have it!

Maybe, but I would simply review my notes later and never made flashcards for some subjects. For others, if I needed to basically memorize something verbatim, I would rewrite key notes on separate pieces of paper or bring out note cards to write things down repeatedly a couple of times and then from memory. I would also read my notes aloud to myself over and over if something was not sinking in just by reading.

​@@letsdomath1750 I get this but it seems like taking notes and translating them over is just a time sink. Using Anki straight away It forces me to be fairly terse, and it's less work over time. I was wasting so much time writing notes then turning them into useful cards. I just went straight from slides/lectures/text to cards and it's been pretty useful for me. Worst case I see a card that's silly on review and delete it. That being said, what works for everyone is different. Many folks memorize better when they physically write out notes, and there is research that this is a more active method of studying, as long as the notes are in your own words and not just your brain transcribing the lecture.

@@tybera1114 Yeah, personally I would only write cards if I needed to memorize stuff word for word starting the week of the assessment, especially definitions or long proofs of theorems that I needed to write down quickly on an exam. For biology and chemistry, it depended more on the course and instructor. For some, I could read my lecture notes the night before and get an A, but for others, it would have been worthwhile to study over a longer period of time. My grades were fine, but I procrastinated a lot with a heavy course load, lol. Also, I was always able to internalize formal academic jargon pretty quickly, so I wouldn't need to paraphrase to casual speech that much. Writing helped me to focus on steps and sequential details, and it's great for remembering formulas: just write them down over and over for every relevant practice problem. Writing was also useful for memorizing the enzymes and substrates in the Krebs cycle for biology classes. Creating my own mnemonic devices was actually helpful to retain information years after the class was over. It also helped that I was a tutor, so teaching concepts to others was something I practiced a lot and helped me retain and understand concepts better.

disgregarding the click-baity title, this is actually the best advice one could ever take in medical school. active recall over ANYTHING. it's a bitch at first and on some days i wish i could just skip reviews for that day - but it's so worth it. not only do i have so much more time to do fun stuff (video games i guess), but getting up every day and spending a few hours actively studying has made studying for finals so much easier, because you've been actively studying for a longer period of time and don't have to stress-cram everything in 2 weeks.

@@cutie.nerdy12 What I'm trying to say is that his method of studying works well with subjects that require a lot of reading and memorising, as opposed to logical reasoning and problem-solving. For example, with my limited understanding of what studying medicine is like, to study medicine you need to be able to memorise a lot of stuff written in textbooks but solving exercises is not part of the way you learn. In contrast, computer science students must both read and memorise quite a lot of information but in this case solving exercises is very important for a deeper understanding, which I assume is not the case for medicine. So, if a computer science student blindly memorises flash cards as shown in the video, he will not have any practical or deep knowledge nor the problem solving skills require to properly study the subject.

For people who do need notes in order to learn (as we are a little slower with processing and retaining information) try not to fill your paper with every single thing on a slide or what your teacher is saying...as cool as it looks, you actually don't retain much of it as you are too busy copying rather than actually learning. If you must take notes or are just very comfortable with it, try to write "big points" of the lecture with sub-points that summarize what you are learning, this way you can go home and review each thing without looking at a block of text and wondering how tf it got there. I like to start with the topic the class is doing at the time, lets say the topic is "Addition and Subtraction" that's the topic, now you add a subtopic. Lets say the subtopic is "How to add with negative numbers" and write a quick example like -2+3 = 1 , it gets much harder as you get into more complex subjects but if you try to simply pick up on the key points of the lecture/class and write them down it'll help a lot. The last thing you want is to arrive home and be like "crap, I need to review but I'm not sure where to start". If you took light notes with the main points you could quickly scan the notes and figure out what you need to work on. Sorry about the long block of text, good luck with school, and remember; the real learning starts when you get home.

Wow I'm so happy I got this video in my feed! Thank you very much for sharing this new (for me) and very interesting way of studying. Honestly I always felt a bit ashamed of myself when I didn't take any notes during the lectures, it always felt like cheating. I mean everybody does that, therefore, it should work better than anything else??? It was right at the end of my freshman year when I finally felt like taking as much notes as I did took me too much time and energy but I could never get a result this big. So I just tried reviewing some materials before lectures and actually listen and think during classes. And I immediately spotted a difference! Now I have a nice and thought out plan. Thank you for that! I will definitely dive in your channel

@@cinnamonsizzlepersonal9775 not really. It’s not just the making of them but how you use them too; reading notes is an entirely different learning experience than flash cards. You put less effort into making flash cards aesthetic and put that energy towards summarising and consolidating the knowledge better.

That's a good question! I think the note-taking that he's referring to is the one that you do in a lecture. Like copying the slides, jotting down what the speaker says, etc. Making flash cards is literally writing info too but it's different because you're doing it outside the class and, generally, while performing active recall. Flash cards have concise and answer-demanding pieces of writings compared to the traditional notes. Hope that helps ^_^

Hello, I do exactly like you and I've improved my grades in medical school! Active Recall is so much more efficient that I've completely taken away the passive methods such as re-reading and highlighting! The only downside of never taking notes is that if I make the anki flashcards too soon and don't keep reviewing them regularly I have to go back to the "raw" source before I can start to challenge myself using the flashcards+question banks.

What about when it comes to exam time and you want to quickly refer to your notes for revision? How do you revise if you study using this method? Also, this might be fine for 2nd year med school but I'd be interested to know if its still working come final year when you've accumulated so much knowledge that you need to be able to refer to something as a reminder. I graduated med school 3 years ago and I studied in a load of different ways, but since there's so much material to cover, I definitely relied on some good note taking! 😊

I'd say if you've been reviewing your ankis well then you wouldn't need to go back to review it because it should be in your head If you really wanted to you can always make a filtered anki deck and review a specific topic from the beginning But personally I never had to do that for example I had a chemistry exam last week and I was the only one who got an A without revising (I used my anki and practice tests before so I didn't need to cram) and by no means am I a genius because just a few months ago I kept getting C and B because I just made notes, read notes, barely did any Q's until the last minute

It lacks a perpective for final exam of the year. We have for eg 8 committee examinations, after the year ends there is a final examination covering all the committees for eg. circulatory system, digestive system, urogenital system and so on. Without anything written it would be harder to revise whole year for the final exam which is counts for 40% of the score for the year. It requires Anky cards to be even more comprehensive. So it is kind of taking notes eventually.

If you actively remind all of the subject by doing a recall every time to time you wont need to take back everything at once at the end, i think the most important is to keep the info fresh in mind regulary so at the end you just need to look for the details that you might have more difficulties to remind
