[@silverharloe]

I already forgot most of this video. I guess I'll watch it again in an hour, 3 hours, 6 hours, 12 hours... And write the salient points on cards, and quiz myself with those cards. But not too much all at once.

[@JeremiahTatola]

I forgot what he said. had to re-watch

[@ReadtoFilth]

Jeremiah yeah I was distracted by his face

[@JeremiahTatola]

minh Le I was distracted by his eyebrows those things are HUGEEEEE bless his educational soul

[@ReadtoFilth]

Jeremiah i never heard eyebrows are affiliated with one's intelligence

[@JeremiahTatola]

minh Le you literally commented on his face like ???

[@ReadtoFilth]

Jeremiah I mean by how he is very attractive. I wasn't being particular about his eyebrows

[@lukemeyers1007]

This is probably the most useful thing on KZbin

[@justinward3679]

Mah boi!!

[@lukemeyers1007]

Justin Ward aye!

[@NickGhale]

you probably have very limited experience being on KZbin

[@lukemeyers1007]

Nicholas Petrick probably

My favorite science teacher taught us stuff the interactive way by coming up with stories and stuff. We had all short answer tests and everyone passed with A's. The school thought that her tests were too easy since everyone was doing good, but once they realized it was all short answer they realized she just had the best teaching method.

[@maxfiialkovskyi5346]

Oh Good God, I Can't stress enough how important this is! This is what has to be mandatory education! I knew most of this since high school, tho not the exact science of how it works precisely. I explain it a little simpler: "Memory can count only till 4. Memories grow when you don't look at them, but has a self-destruction timer on it. You reset the timer by recalling it, (not it looking up). The stronger the memory the longer is the timer" and then you do following to memorize stuff: 1. Group information into bits of **4 obvious things** 2. Visually imagine one bit for 6 seconds 3. Recall 4. Wait 30 seconds. Recall. 5. Wait 1 minute. Recall. 6. 10 min. Recall. 7. 30 min. Recall. 8. 1 hr. Recall. 9. 3 hr. Recall. 10. 1 day. Recall a few times. 11. 2 days 12. 4 days 13. 7 14. 15 IF you fail anywhere THEN GOTO 1. Last year I started preaching this thing to everyone I meet in my travels. I also always made an example by learning a bunch of random words in their language *while* teaching the method. Thus I know Arabic, Chinese, Turkish and Kurdish numbers and a whole lot of people learned Russian ones.

[@waadoda1263]

Probably the most useful thing on KZbin

[@rc660]

Visit his channel! It’s really helpful as well :)

[@jaggerjdm9787]

Nice comment copying skills

[@thatchannelyoudontknow]

Story time. I was barely scraping a pass in my Physics class in High School. Like, we're talking I got a D on my mock exam. The rest of my class felt like they were totally screwed as well, because our teacher wasn't teaching us everything we needed to know to pass the exam. None of us were too happy about it. Out of nowhere on one night after the mock exams had taken place, I decided that I would read through our entire Physics textbook and make notes of EVERYTHING, divided by formulas and the different sections of the subject, on Quizlet. I started working on it at midnight, finished at about 5 or 6am. I proceeded to send it to a few of my friends in those subjects, and asked them to forward it around. We all used it on a regular basis for revising. I went from barely scraping a pass with a D to getting an A. And all of my friends who thought they were going to fail passed with As as well. Don't underestimate the power of making your own notes and going over them repeatedly to strengthen your memory. Seriously.

[@claireh5839]

Pro-tip: If you have difficulty remembering a word or date, set it as your passcode. That's how I can spell prosopagnosia

[@omarmoustafa8634]

Anyone else believes this is the most efficient and practical course that shall benefit us in our lives??

[@AstroLizard]

6 thousand likes and 60 dislikes. That does accurately show how good this video was. Great work!

[@BossSev38]

YES! THE DOORMAN! FROM ADVENTURE TIME! AND FINN AND JAKE IN THE BACKGROUND!

[@plastictaste9423]

Ikr! I was so surprised so see him here

[@janyvesadizas716]

hated that guy

[@taralewis8530]

his name is door lord one of my favorite adventure time episodes season 3 episode 10 what was missing

[@ScattMatt3000]

this is the single best crash course series. even though it's only 3 episodes

[@notgate2624]

I've read 3 different memory books and have read a lot more online about different memory techniques and how it all works. You guys covered it perfectly. Really well done.

[@BTSINBLOOM]

i was about to give up on youtube but i found this golden channel and i'm stuck here now, thank you so much for everyone who got the idea to start this channel! you guys are a blessing!!

[@StubbornPrincessEmii]

This will really help with my medical terminology studies from my college class! Thanks, Thomas Frank! You're awesome + fantastic = awesomestic (made up word)!

[@amisawsan]

franktastic

[@wokekoala3888]

i was actually thinking of civ 5 when he talked about caravels, nice

[@kyledolor5257]

I have.

[@aaw6325]

That made my day

[@CrabOnABeach]

Civ 5 is my favorite Civ

[@NotZeex]

Who else looked behind them when he said "their are ninjas behind you"

[@Longspout15]

I didn't because I'm not an idiot.

[@PheseantNetsuke]

Derpy Zeenat I didn't. I had absolute confidence that I would have sensed them (also, I had my back against the wall).

[@TheEpicnightmare666]

their are..

[@Thomasfrank]

There are extra ninjas behind you in particular

[@Kesukyou]

Ninjas, and even a bear...

[@senpaisnipeftw2582]

6:28 is that the amazing spiderman reference? (Stan lee as a librarian with headphones when spiderman and lizard are fighting)

[@morgansmith3601]

Yeah it was, but what was the yellow thing before it?

[@senpaisnipeftw2582]

Morgan Smith a buff jake from adventure time?

[@BossSev38]

No, that was door master from "What was missing" Finn and Jake were on the background little after

[@senpaisnipeftw2582]

Dima Buchek it was meant to be a joke.

[@suncu91]

I don't understand why would your joke work.

[@siddhiraskar5464]

6:25 Is that Stan Lee cameo'ing' in crash course

[@evolonten]

informs us on how memories work, overwhelms us with loads of information

[@garretthamilton1929]

I think i stored a new book in my library today thanks CrashCourse

[@margony6921]

As soon as he said caravels I couldn't think of anything but Civ 5! That unit was awesome!

[@rayanrhomari2496]

Here's a tip: If you can't concentrate while reading, read along with the audiobook.

[@armorsmith43]

Onyx Rex or read aloud and move around as you read?

[@KarolineTheEmpath]

Rayan Rhomari For MacOS users there is already a feature which is the speech. When you use it for anything you want to follow as you listen the audio as you are following along. It’s useful! For for other operating systems it will be different.

[@StevenandStefanie]

I'm going to try the notes at school notes at home method where I take sloppy notes in class and then re-do them all pretty at home. People said this works well for them, hope it does for me too

[@infinite5g486]

I got ADHD so i needed to rewind quite a bit. but i understood the video in the end great work 👍

[@jawadhaidary4343]

All this fantastic information for free on KZbin! That’s what we call HUMANITY!

[@JiroTheOriginal]

Great courses plus looks like a great app to use to learn information to pass time. I will look into it

[@gracie8110]

I honestly love CC's intros.

[@anuel3780]

I learned more from this video than I did in school. After this, I will learn more from school than I did previously.

[@ghakal007]

I was just thinkin about how to apply the Leitner system to tricks in skateboarding to work on my weakest tricks and then u mention skateboarding woohooooo 🔥🔥🔥

[@guilhermemorais8898]

Crash course is the most amazing channel on KZbin. Greetings from Brazil :)

[@ConnorCu]

I freaking love great courses plus!!

[@tulsaTMR]

Genius. This crash course is so awesome!

[@AijalonBishop]

I love how this guy explains this topic 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@jiayuli2244]

Really thanks for sharing.If only I have watched this in my early life,not too late though.Initially I just want to practice my listening in English ,then I just get trapped!! Luckily I have chosen the series first ,then I can apply the learning skills to other specific subjects!😇

[@TaiChiKnees]

Fantastic advice; I'm passing this on to my students!

[@violetrose740]

One of the things I like is trying to pause right to read the small "stick notes" and "info pop-ups" on the screen

[@notamirror]

There's a great book I read recently that explores many of these ideas in greater depth called Make It Stick by Brown, Roediger and McDaniel. Great for teachers but also great for students.

[@sjege]

On the last point, talking to your fellow classmates (or anyone really) about a subject greatly increases your retrieval strength. This is because you are recalling it instead of reading it and because you trick your brain that the info has social value.

[@TSistheBEST13]

I love how you guys put adventure time in your videos

[@deekshagopal9555]

Crash Course is just the best! Thank you so much! These videos are just Life Saviours!!

[@kais3427]

I LOVE THIS EPISODE AAAHHHHHHHH

[@thegogglebros.9655]

"Particularly intense emotional experience" This man used 4 words to say Truama

[@castle7088]

I blanked out at the part about breakfast, then I zoned back in when you talked about the ninjas behind me 😂

[@BlackMamba-vl4ks]

This guy is so good. He could teach me anything.

[@dawn899]

This is so helpful! Really enjoying this study skills set !

[@naomia3797]

Really like the flash card box idea! Will definitely be trying it to help for exam topic study! Thank you

[@OrdonWolf]

The fact that something like the Spacing Effect exists blew my mind! It explains SO much!!

[@snighdhashaw978]

It's so good...probably the best video😁😁😁

[@helpfulhelper6854]

This would be good for my Study Skills class.

[@hunterst.arnold6646]

6:08 I think that was the most random _Adventure Time_ reference I've ever seen. NOBODY references the door guy!

[@CDeruiter5963]

Love the references in this video! This whole series is wonderful.

[@ssridhar484]

WOW! This video is simply amazing.Thanks a lot Thomas...its surely helping me!

[@anirudhakumar1653]

What a great session! I now know why I kept scoring bad in semesters while working hard.

[@magnumopus8202]

I can't believe it, this guy joined the team 😃

[@aii5748]

I'm gonna have to rewatch this many times to fully utilize it. It is extremely helpful though so it's worth it. ✨👍

[@melho.martinez761]

Wait, what? I didn't know Thomas Frank was a crash course member! :) Pleasantly surprised. He's a great KZbinr!

[@008slomar]

Still waiting for that make up tutorial....

[@abcvideoyoutuization]

I have taken different study skill course last year. In that course there was emphasis on limiting study time to below 30 minutes and to not do more that 5 study sessions a day. Study sessions should only happen, at most, 4 times in one week. How does this fit into your skim of studying 5 times in one month? How can you progress in a book if you are stuck on page one for one month. I will review your video again but if the answer is not in there could you post something here.

[@roosarepo9980]

Thomas: "...Helsinki is the capital of Finland..." Me, always stunned by when someone from outside Northern Europe knows that Finland exists: " Torille!"

[@amritbaba4904]

This is definitely helping with my herbal studies. The long term goal is to have 150 herbs memorized. Latin name, common names, properties, chemicals, folklore, cultivation, harvesting, identification, and origin.

[@MechaLeonidas]

Omg. I know this is late, but... how's it been?

[@rodrigobalderasjuarez4113]

Hey CrashCourse , thanks for these great videos with Thomas! One question here. How to make the Leitner system systematic? I mean if you are studying one concept and you start adding knowledge and reviewing it and then you add some more information how you organize your studying sessions. For example imagine you already are going to review one topic in the third session (7days) but then in the assignature they give you more new topics, you are going to have to review them in a 1rst and 2nd session right? Now imagine you have 8 assignatures. How you can organize all these studying sessions following the new and old topics you have been teached. I hope I explained myself. Thanks!

[@kunnapvivian]

A hell hole with sharks jumping out? Yeah that accurately describes where I live 😂😂😂😂

[@XavierGuillaume]

Starting my semster at university in one week and this is one of the most useful videos I could possibly have watched. I am definitely going to try the study cards in the boxes for my vocab and concepts learning. Also, the study fact concept of gradually prolonging study intervals to maximize learning potential is something I might have to try. I will have to create some sort of calendar system though to keep track of what to study and when which feels kind of unyieldy especially with continuously growing intervals. I might get the hang of it though. Fortunately I am not working while in school so I can just focus on learning. :) Yay!

[@Home_of_Heartes]

No, no flying cars yet.

[@dianacolvin4472]

Very helpful while cramming for my Neuroscience final!!! 😀🙏🏻

[@aaronogletree5875]

Those footnotes though 😆 10/10 for me 😏

[@ahmedmamdouh3964]

=Do you have flying cars? -No we have coronavirus now

[@muhammadnorakmalsaipudin9253]

Kind of surprise finding you here Thomas. :D

[@lixoshi]

YO IT'S THAT DOORMAN DUDE. I'M SO HAPPY THERE'S AN ADVENTURE TIME REFERENCE. I had to look in the comments to see if anyone recognized him.

[@joseramonrodriguezgarcia207]

Thomas, I´m freaking out with this stuff, the most useful on CrasCourse. If you can make an episode on nootropics, it would be great

[@thatkayleegirl50]

Crash Course is going to change my life

[@molsondutch93]

Awesome video, thank you!

[@ibrahimx9560]

ohhh you play civ 5 too I liked you and your style now I love it my nerdy bro

[@mayrazuniga6819]

Can you do one for adhd students

[@jordanroyal9762]

Wow this course came right on time I needed dis

[@fabricetimo2378]

Great to see you on crash course

[@azultheangelcat2706]

Oh my thank you so much! I'm taking a Japanese Class Right now and I believe this year I learn Kanji Thank you for this method of studying them.

[@theotherVLF]

I decided to watch this in hopes it would have tips on learning some of the more ridiculous things I'm studying, i.e. Japanese. Thank you so much for these!! No wonder I keep doing really well on the same 120 kanji, but can't remember the other 90.

[@arielcurra7647]

Great video!

[@roxanebarbey1394]

Great video!! I'm gonna find some boxes and give this a try :)

[@sanya5538]

Is it ironic that I am studying memory for a test a day before and have fifty more pages to cram while watching this video? Yes, I think it is.

[@unknownpawner1994]

Doing sample questions repetitively is much more effective than passive reading. Eventually when exams come your brain will be on autopilot since it is so used to doing questions.

[@benaaronmusic]

So very helpful. Thanks, Crash Course.

[@lisagren]

4:11 does tangible mean that you literally can touch it with your hands? (or percieve that you can touch it with your hands). Or does it mean something like "comprehensable"?

[@tinloklo282]

Hey can you do one on researching

[@Barry63]

The box method seems really interesting, I will need to check it out! :D

[@JadeKimberful]

Wow, I'm so glad I found this video. I'm helping my mom who recently had a stroke. I'm going to have to look into more recall exercises. This helps!!! Thanks so much!

[@Purnviram03]

Awesome work Thomas

[@ashesh8085]

Guys He's not joking, there are ninjas behind you I REPEAT there are dangerous ninjas behind you at this moment.

[@asengyenyame7259]

Wow he makes great videos👏🏼👌🏼

[@kevjumbaz]

is this the golden ticket to med school?

[@Minmaximus]

Jia Xing -- I sure hope so! That's why I'm watching.

[@sebastiansilva5835]

i'm on 5th year of med school, and hope I had this information years ago

[@Bootz4d]

anki is pretty good for spaced memorization. it a flashcard program that can space out your cards according to how well you can remember it.

[@JuanSanchez-vh4xk]

Ummm.. We already have flying cars lol

[@angelluismartinezreyes6377]

You are the best guys

[@kshitizgupta3264]

This is actually good

[@sirskorge]

Awesome episode!

[@grndragon7777777]

It missed one thing, sleep! Good sleep is one of the best thing you can do for memory

[@perlahly]

Thank you so much❤️✨
