This man has been changing my life since 2011.

Cal Newport validated an idea I have been using for the past 20 years. I had read a proverb "To Teach is to learn Twice" and that changed my approach to studying.

Listen to his advice! I aced a really hard midterm and was in the top 7-10% for that test

The Freynman technique is one of the best I’ve ever used. I used it to get a 85% in physics. It builds off the concept or understanding how things work, concept learning, instead of memorizing for multiple choice.

I’ve also found actually writing things out on a whiteboard while you’re explaining it is helpful too. For example, going over the concept of convection, and drawing the concept, helps for geography. Explaining the portions of the cell and what they do for biology and drawing the cell itself. I’m also a visual learner so I find whiteboard very helpful

This is the best fucking advice I ever heard about studying. I heard Cal Newport the very first time on august 12th, 2014. 
This is kind of fucked up. If I had heard about this guy earlier, it would have made a huge difference in the GPA I had at the University of California Los Angeles. I started using this strategy today, and I was able to understand the solution to a very difficult coding problem by explaining it out loud. Pretty cool, thanks Cal. Then I applied the same strategy and learned ten new words. Being a computer programmer, I'm going to use Cal's technique to skyrocket my coding skills. Thanks you, Cal. God bless you.

I have been successfully using Active Recall PLUS Spaced Repetition to memorize programming languages' syntax, gotchas, tips, and other details. I also use AR and SR to review vocabulary ans specific pieces of knowledge. The results have been being better than I ever imagined possible (as compared to passive reading notes and text in general).

I use Anki, a spaced repetition software which runs on linux, windows, mac, android and iphone (and it is open source) to help me with reviewing.

It is indeed more difficult than passive reading (remember: passive reading brings illusion of competence), and that is why most people don't use it.

The tips on the video are 100% congruent with everything I had learned about the subject of "learning how to learn" myself.

Thanks.

Omg...I do this EXACT thing!! I think of an something or see something on youtube and pause it to explain it to an imaginary person! It tells me right away how much I understand what I'm saying. Theres something about verbalizing utter rubbish that tell you instantly - I clearly don't know what I'm talking about! Then I'll often have that imaginary person ask questions or refute what I'm saying and I'll respond. It reveals logical inconsistencies and imprecise language.

THis works. Trust me. I"m studying for the CPA exam and I'm using this method. It is a lot of work but pays dividends.

After all the learning I've learned about learning, this 2 min video is like the perfect keystone or spark to get me finally studying smart. This just makes perfect sense.

This guy is a great author. I'm SO GLAD I discovered him right before I'm starting college.

The strategies mentioned in "How to Become a Straight A Student by Cal Newport" for writing papers are for writing Term Papers or the same strategies can be applied for writing a Journal/Conference paper especially in engineering or technical field at Master and PhD level?
