Stage 1: Priming -

# Objective: Understand the big picture of a topic before classes.
# Analogy: Building a Lego set by first studying the box cover.
# Steps:
1. Gather resources (e.g., YouTube videos).
2. Identify key concepts.
3. Group and relate these concepts.
4. Create a visual diagram showing the relationships.
5. Take a short pre-test to analyze concept relationships and prepare for inference-based exam questions.

Stage 2: In-Class Notes

# Objective: Engage actively during class.
# Method:
- Annotate the primed diagram with new information.
- List key observations not fitting into the diagram.
- Develop active recall questions (why and how questions).

Stage 3: Post-Class Immediate Review

# Objective: Reinforce learning shortly after class.
# Method:
- Spend 30 minutes before bed reviewing notes and active recall questions.
- Practice answering these questions verbally to identify strengths and weaknesses.

Stage 4: Revision

# Objective: Deepen understanding and prepare for exams.
# Steps:
1. Create an optimized, clear version of the learning diagram (Diagram 3).
2. Use active recall techniques:
- Blurting: Write everything remembered about a topic without looking at sources.
- Feynman Technique: Teach the topic as if to a fifth-grader, using simplified explanations, examples, and analogies.
- Practice Tests: Take and thoroughly analyze practice exams, focusing on understanding why answers are correct or incorrect.

THIS SYSTEM SAVES TIME GIRL!!!

STAGE #1
Priming/Preparación: 13:17

* Ver de manera muy general videos de youtube 2x speed para tener una idea general del tema
* Hacer diagrama de lo clave, lista de conceptos clave, investigar conceptos desconocidos, fragmentar la información en grupos y conectar conforme similitudes y diferencias,


STAGE #2
IN CLASS-NOTES 19:59
* Anotar diagrama 2, detalles importantes/clave
* Lista de observaciones/palabras clave que no entiendo ni encajo en el diagrama
* Preguntas Active recall
(lista de preguntas para practicar)
EJEMPLO:
- ¿Por qué esta pieza de información es relevante?
- ¿Cómo esta información puede ser aplicada?
- ¿Cómo está relacionada con las cosas que aprendí antes?
- ¿Cómo puedo cambiar la variable para obtener un resultado diferente?
- ¿Cuál es un ejemplo de esto en la vida cotidiana?
10% y el 90% atención al profesor.

STAGE #3
POST-CLASS INMEDIATE REVIEW

*Identificar fortalezas y debilidades haciendo el ejercicio de contestar las preguntas.
* 30min antes de dormir


STAGE #4
REVISION

* Crear diagrama no. 3:
- Reorganizar y Simplificar lo que estaba en los diagramas anteriores ( Dibujos, colores)
- Objetivo: Al verlo reconocer lo que quiere decir.
- Es un recurso

* Aplicar técnicas de Active recall:

- Blurting Method=
Con tu fuente (libro o videos), vas a leer/ver/escuchar. Al finalizar vas a escribir todo lo que recuerdas, luego te vas a corregir con tu misma fuente y un descanso. Este proceso por 3 veces.

- Técnica Feynman= Explicar el tema como si lo explicaramos a un niño pequeño y lo que no se entendió o lo que no pude explicar (las lagunas que quedaron) se investigan.


- Test de práctica= Examenes de años pasados o que tu crees a partir del estilo de examenes que hacen tus profesores.

I’m gonna become an academic weapon real soon. No one really taught me how to study, and this 40 minute video is exactly what I need to succeed in college right now. I cannot thank you enough for this video. (Jun is literally that guy- He’s an academic weapon, has a girlfriend, a dual degree Dean’s List student and most of all, one of the biggest guys in the gym😮‍💨) .

Summary of vid:
There's four stages.
1. Priming --> Understanding the big concepts within the subject before the class is starting on a new topic, how everything is connected.
Steps for priming (13:04):
- Gather all the material about the topic (slides, textbooks, etc)
- Skim resources while making a list of key concepts (terms, headings, images, repeated words)
- Research the unfamiliar key concepts on the list
- Compare the concepts and create groups based on their similarities and differences.
- Make those relationships related to you through connecting it to prior knowledge or personal experiences.
- Draw up a diagram of the concepts divided in their groups.

After understanding the topic, taking a short pre-test (5 min) will deepen your understanding.

2. In-class notes --> Listen to the teacher, don't focus on writing down every little single thing.
- Add on groups to the diagram you made (diagram II).
- Add key observations (points you don't know how to fit into the diagram)
- Active recall questions to practice with

3. Post-class immediate review --> 30 minutes before bed
- Clean up diagrams and questions
- Go through questions and identify the harder ones

4. Revision
- Creating another diagram (diagram III)
Then, study with Active recall. There are different techniques: Blurting, Feyman technique and mock exams. Use spaced repetition and breaks.

[Nugzo]

00:03 Priming is the first stage of the learning system and involves understanding the big picture of the topic before going into classes.
02:37 Understanding the function and relationship of different pieces in learning
07:40 Chunking information down and organizing it based on relevance
09:51 The priming stage helps analyze how different concepts come together to solve problems.
14:29 Annotation enhances understanding and memory.
16:49 The three parts of in-class notes: annotating, key observations, and active recall questions.
20:36 The guide to academic success covers evidence-based revision techniques, productivity tips, personal advice, and career development tips for students.
22:31 Active recall is key to strengthening memory and understanding
26:38 Personal choice is important for color selection and creating relationships between groups.
28:36 Deliberate effort leads to meaningful learning.
32:21 Practice tests are the best resource to narrow down what to study
34:13 Utilizing active recall and various techniques can help improve learning efficiency.
37:58 The speaker encourages viewers to share their thoughts and questions in the comments.

Man you made me believe that I can get A grades with a huge smile on my face and no need of struggling and stressing.

[dishajoshi]

You are literally so smart thinking about studying this way already has me relieved 😭

[soareum]

I have been a gifted child all my life, studying came easy to me, but now that I am in final year of the school and have opted science to become engineer I have not been able to focus my grades went down not like going in drain I still ranked 10th in class of 57 brilliant students but it was not upto my expectations, I just have 8 months left for my finals and I am now hopeful to score 90% with my efforts and your guidance.
You have helped me a lot to say motivated on my goals.
Thank you 😊

Short Summary of the Video: The Learning System

STAGE 1: Priming

1. Watch YouTube videos and identify key concepts.
2. Group the key concepts into common categories.
3. Try and link them out or look for what interests you about each group and/or individual concept. How is this topic relevant to me? (Because I need to learn this in order to pass the next exam.) How do they fit (link) together in the big picture?

Take a short Pre-Test (also part of priming)

1. Give it a genuine attempt, don’t worry about getting the questions wrong (in order to take advantage of the Hypercorrection Effect: When you answered a question with confidence, but later find out that you got it wrong actually helps the information stick better.)
2. Helps the information stick better.


How to do this step better:

1. Check the syllabus to identify the upcoming topic.
2. Gather all your resources with information about the topic (textbooks, presentations slides, or online modules).
3. Skim your resources while making a list of key concepts. (Bolded terms, heading, graphs/images, and repeated words).
4. Research unfamiliar concepts on the list.
5. Compare the concepts together and create groups based on their similarities and differences.
6. Think about how the groups relate to each other, and make those relationships relevant to you.
1. Connecting the information to your prior knowledge.
2. Relating it to your personal experiences or interests.
7. Draw a diagram that illustrates the groups and relationships.


STAGE 2: Class notes.

Class Notes
1. Annotate over your diagram (or make a new one ) while looking for ways to expand on the information (always focusing on linking the information to the diagram).

Active Recall Questions
1. Broad to specific.
2. Harder to remember stuff.


STAGE 3: Immediate review.

Post-Class immediate review. (30-min before you go to bed: practice your questions and review the info annotated).


STAGE 4: Revision

1. Create a final diagram with the optimized version of the information (reorganize and simplify the information in the previous diagrams).
2. Focus in relationships.

Gral Revision 2

1. Go through every bit of info again.

Explaining

1. Feynman Technique: Simplify the information like you were explaining it to someone else.

Practice exams

1. Do practice exams while reviewing and understanding the questions.
2. Also try and explain why each answer is right or wrong.
3. Look for weakness areas and go through them again.

[ManmeetSingh-nrjh]

Your tips are really good and damn.... I'm in love with your lifestyle. I've been trying to do all of it for months but always struggled. You are an awesome inspiration for our generation.

( I'm also in first year doing my bachelor's in CSE ), starting my own business, want to have a social life, want to stay consistent at gym and want to solve a ton of problems in a short period of time.

I'm impressed by how thoroughly you've analysed and studied your brain over time. ❤❤

[reiiiiisan]

omg the way i sat through this entire vid - thought it was like 10 mins - did NOT realize it was nearly 40 minutes long
maybe my attention span is finally improving

but these are real helpful
thanks for giving it in a digestible and easy to apply way!!

good luck to everyone studying and learning new things, we got this 💪

[ocana_kwk]

Priming:
- to understand the big picture of the topic before attending the class
How to prime: when: Based on topics: around 2~3 weeks


1 - Identify resources: example. Youtube
- take notes
- noting repeated words
- points of emphasis
- creating a list of key concepts
- creating groups
- compare the key concepts
- identify similarities
- relationships
- ask: How is the topic relevant to me?
- using the groups creating relations between them
- visually create a diagram: the big picture: the item u have grouped or created relation.
- this shows how the major concepts fit together in the big picture
- Instructions for diagram I:
-Gather all the material about the topic (slides, textbooks, etc)
- Skim resources while making a list of key concepts (terms, headings, images, repeated words)
- Research the unfamiliar key concepts on the list
- Compare the concepts and create groups based on their similarities and differences.
- Make those relationships related through prior knowledge or personal experiences.
- Draw up a diagram of the concepts divided in their groups.
- take a short pre-test: around 5 questions
- helps further analyze how these different concepts come together to solve problems


2 - In class notes
- Annotating on top of Diagram I/diagram II
- creating additional branches, and additional subgroups to the big picture
- jotting down main points for u to remember in relation to the big picture, in relation to other relevant pieces of information
- Add key observations (points you don't know how to fit into the diagram)
- Active recall Question: MUST DO
- Forcefully retrieving the information out of ur brain without the source of the material in front of u
- example:
- Why is this piece of information important?
- How can this information be applied?
- How can it be related to things I've learned before
- how can I alter a variable so that it changes the outcome?
- what's a real-life example of this?


3 - Post-Class immediate review
- helps identify ur strengths and weaknesses
- 30 min before u go to bed
- clean up ur active recall questions from class
- clean up diagram number two that u've made in class
- add some of the key observations into the diagram
- practicing ur active recall questions


4 - Revision
- creating diagram 3
- making this a resource for urself
- reorganize & simplify diagram 1 & 2
- Active recall applications

1. Blurting Method
1 - identify source material, for example: textbook, lecture, etc
2 - read/watch it
3 - put away the source
4 - freely recall on Blank sheet
5 - reopen source & compare & make corrections
6 - throw away the paper
7 - take a break
8 - retry new attempt
9 - repeat the process until the recall is at an acceptable level

2. Feynman technique
1 - use simplified explanations, examples, and analogies as if ur teaching the topic to a fifth-grader
- record urself talking about the topic

3. practice tests
1 - look through practice exams.
-Focus on understanding why ur answers are correct or incorrect.

[nandorrtherelentless]

small recap (for myself):

first: priming (per topic, not class)
- keywords >> chunk >> diagram
- short pretest

second: in-class notes
- add on diagram 1
- key observations (don't add on diagram if you don't know where it fits)
- active recall (questions)

third: post-class immediate review
- practice active recall questions
- identify weaknesses (make habit of reviewing before bed)

fourth: revision
- diagram 3 (reorganise and simplify 1+2)
- blurting 1-3 times with breaks (good start for a.r.)
- feynman technique (use analogies, etc)
- (timed) practice tests (correct when done or really stuck and be stricter)

also, jun thank you so much for making this video!! i already knew about all of these methods, but no youtuber really explained how and when to use different methods. testweek (in the netherlands, year 11) is coming up and i'm going to start today, thank you so much ^^

[Jballer]

Gonna watch this when I get out of school but I had to comment and just say thank you so much for all that you do. As a senior in high school about to go to college you have done so much.

[kazuki]

Learning system 4 steps:
1. Priming
2. In-Class Notes
3. Post-Class Immediate Review
4. Revision

Priming:
Preparing for class by understanding the big picture of the topic to make new information more relevant and easily retained.

In-Class Notes:
Actively listening and annotating a pre-created big picture diagram with new information during class, rather than trying to write down everything verbatim.

Post-Class Immediate Review:
A brief review session to clean up notes and practice active recall questions identified during class to consolidate understanding.

Revision:
An optimized review phase employing diagram reorganization, active recall techniques like the blurting method, Feynman technique, and practice tests to deepen understanding and retention.

[haranshjeetsinghbhullar]

Today is 30th Nov 2023,
I have a test coming up on 17th Dec 2023.
I am going to start using these techniques and hopefully reap positive results.
I'll keep you guys updated throughout this 2 week journey.
Wish me luck!!

[skyemnewton]

i would love a day in your life! seeing how you take care of yourself, study, routines 🥺

[fdfqccn]

Thank you Jun, my first year in undergrad at Stanford was really difficult because I didn't have much structure or clue about how to tackle so much information being thrown at me at once and how to properly synthesize and apply this information. This quarter I've done much better using your techniques and am really confident going to final exams.

[aylawallon]

saying that i am impressed is an understatement. i am 3 minutes into the video and absolutely shocked. the way you explain is justice-proof. i usually find it hard to follow someone teaching me something difficult like the process of studying but the way you break everything down and explain it just gets to me. keep up with the great content, and count me in as a new active follower

hope you have a great day ~justice
