3. Study presentation - Less is Best
Recent presentations have looked at techniques that can make your studying more effective. This month we return to highlighting another common mistake, specifically in the preparation of revision/study notes. A natural tendency is to write in lengthy sentences for fear of missing out important details. However, this works against the natural working processes of the brain and encourages it to be lazy while also creating overload and triggering a filtering process.
Our ‘Less is Best’ presentation gives tips and guidance for not only writing less, but also how the positioning of ‘keywords’ in a certain way on a page and how they are written will help in triggering memories in the brain, allowing it to fill in the gaps when specific information needs to be recalled.
Watch the Less is Best presentation:
