Shit started watching this at the end of the semester lmao

“Before you practice memorization, you have to practice remembering.” That concept alone just blew my mind.

[alejndraalmirowitsch]

He even understands study efficiency (active recall, recognition vs recall), this man knows everything. People his age doesnt usually give this type of advice

[tatleman]

1) Make a goddamn schedule of what you're going to learn throughout the semester
2) Learn the fucking material
3) Close the content and write down what you remember
4) Do Spaced Repetition to ensure your recall-techniques
5) Have at least 7 hours of sleep on a daily basis
6) Good luck!

[ShadowZZZ]

-Preplan a timesheet
-space out your studying cessions
-try recalling contents

[No]

In this quarantine time iam watching all JP videos and iam surprised with the speed my English vocabulary is increasing with each of his videos🙂

[matheusprado]

Can you imagine having Dr. Peterson's class? He's is just amazing in almost everything he speaks

[Trivium]

Reading and closing the book is only useful if you check your recall against the material for accuracy. You then need to get it right more than once. After spacing your recalls, revisit for long-term reinforcement. There are other research-based techniques such as dual-coding, interleaving, elaboration, etc; but the most effective, according to research, is retrieval practice and spacing.

My advice from a student that dropped out of high school and have gone back to university is not to have a goal, not to set a plan but to struggle, and fail. I went form high school to working shit jobs for 7 years and at some points having no income and living off legitimately no money for a lot longer then i wanted.
i got a job that paid well, not great but more than i expected to get but i hated it, when i wanted to move up i was considered dead weight to the company I worked at, not so bad as to be redundant or sack-able but enough to not promoted.
i left and went back to university, the difference of life skills and struggle has taught me one thing. i dont want to live on $35 a week, i dont want to work a shit job where you get no respect and i want to be a success in MY OWN INTERPRETATION OF SUCCESS.
you can watch motivational videos all you want and you can act like that exam you have at the end of the semester is not a big deal or your worrying about failing it. That's good, I hit the highest grades in my classes not because Im the smartest or study the hardest. I get the best grades because I want to be there. I want to learn and i want to get the fuck outta there as quickly as possible.
Just for clarification here, I was a fail or a C student in high school at best, I pull HDs 90-100% every test.
I don't study like everyone else, rocking up to every lecture listening to some random teacher say his interpretation of the subject, I watch 1/2 my lectures if that. I focus on the communication between people who are going to teach me individually the questions i need to learn. I look at all the lecture slides and what knowledge youre meant to learn from that week and hard focus on answering those questions that arent requirements.
you have to study differently EVERY subject EVERY semester and EVERY Day differently. Otherwise you'll get comfortable, then bored then behind and youll give up. Study unconfortably, make things hard for yourself, make yourself learn with new learning methods every time you sit down and study.
tips on how to do this,
MOST IMPORTANT TIP:
if someone is drowning in work and complains about how bad the subject is, get rid of them out your life while youre studying, they dont want to be there. this is for people who're constantly behind and will look for any excuse and any people to take there side. They're wasting your time, focus on your own learning first and if you can benefit from teaching them how to do something and the specialties of things do that but don't get caught up in there web. In the real world businesses shit these people out every day because they fuck up the whole places attitude.
scan the book, for theoretical subjects and written
buy the electronic copies of the book for ctrl+F searching pages whenever possible.
1. page by page not writing anything and only reading the titles and definitions and first few lines before they jump into examples.
2. try and answer the questions first, then go back and re read the subject header that best relates to that subject.
3. use word one week, and for assignments, google docs the next, notepad another, written the week after, conversations every time as much as possible.
4. when using word for case studies and essays, highlight the key points. eg, highlight the people as individual colours highlight the goals that stand out, highlight the strange words that stick out.
and then reread just those colours when you want to address that person individually.
most common colours i use,
green for goals and positives
red for negatives and losses
blue for first person addressed
purple for their business ect.
learn the individual structure for how "that class" wants you to answer questions and focus on that as your core everything you write for that subject should use that structure and that structure only. you're a robot with no free thought till youre out.

for mathematical subjects use the previous tutorials to build a database of how to solve the problems with a working solution.
your working solutions should be one string of numbers that a calculator can solve and the titles of those functions. this will help proof assess work and allow you to solve things far quicker than normally expected. the idea here is to learn patterns, when studying math subjects try to avoid learning external methods and getting mixed up and just focus on the core principle methods.

FOR GROUP ASSIGNMENTS
check ALL your classes on the first week to find which classes have group assignments in there assessment, do the workshop/tutorial work Pre-workshop/tutorial. and enter the class on time.. you want to sit next to the only few people who have done the work and have it in front of them. assess there information they have put down to see if its correct and sit next to them. 99% of the time they're at the front of the class or furthest away from the door. The idea here is to pick up at least one person you know cares about there grades in your group.
in short the best way to succeed is to prepare early once and then learn through never doing shit the same week after week and being uncomfortable. Take breaks when you cant be fucked but start all the time randomly as soon as the thought appears in your brain, not in 5mins or 1 hour.. legitimately start as soon as that idea of studying hits. Even opening up word documents or checking when things are due is a start the idea is to constantly have the thought of the work in your mind as much as possible. I only study for at max 90 minutes at a time. when i started it was realistically 20 minutes, as time has progressed ive found my sweet spot where i have full focus.
My last piece of advice to recap this chaos and uncomfortable way of learning is:
you probably dont remember the moment you felt the happiest in your life, but you sure remember when it felt the worst.

Ideally every point he said is what is in here this is more of a university/college guide to how to get HDs without being a complete geek in the library, i still go out with friends 1-3 times a week. Its safe to say i found a balance.

Jordan you never cease to amaze me.
Thank you

[kaizenryan]

I mostly see those videos which have many views, when I search about anything.

But even though this video has less views compared to the other videos
I still saw it


*Because* *Jordan* *Peterson* *is* *here*

[kaelanbarr]

0.54 "especially is your industriousness" I thought that word jumble was pretty funny considering Peterson's solid grasp of the English language.

[oblivious]

At the beginning of this year, I made a challenge, not a resolution, to try and read more books. Granted, 3 months into 2020 and I'm struggling with that, but dammit I'm trying.

Fun fact, one of the books I'm reading is The Gulag Archipelago.

[rachaelh.]

I agree with his study tip of reading then closing the book then writing down what you learnt. However, you're promoting rote learning if you start writing right after you read. Read something then write about it the following day.

You are breaking guidelines by not linking original video - it would be useful too 🙏🏼

Though I don't like Peterson's political commentary, I respect him as an academic and teacher.
And he is very powerfully persuasive. Well worth listening to this.

[edmel]

I couldn’t do uno effectively the first time. There was no one there to look at my results and say take time off re-asses how your going about it. It was just okie through. I passed all the subjects in the end but it was a waste of time.

[Kain.]

So he’s saying that in order to memorize more information, you have to space your learning in scheduled daily chunks.
If we want to be able to memorize a book, you read the book, then at the end of your reading you write a summary of what you read.
