Six habits of highly successful students, thanks to @AceThatTest and @J_MedinaUML

I came across a series of tweets on six habits of highly successful students by J Medina  I thought I’d collate them in a blog so I and others can easily refer to them when needed.

1) No Cramming: instead of studying in long chunks spread it out into smaller sessions throughout the week. Less stress + Better Planning.👍 pic.twitter.com/kMARjk4bWm

2) Interleaving:change between topics and try to relate them to eachother. You want to learn to swit ch gears and understand different ideas pic.twitter.com/8hxdCakxSd

3) Elaboration: Ask questions, explain, and connect them to other parts of your study. Base your questions on what you want to know. pic.twitter.com/UbNyhgL6Nl

4) Come up with CONCRETE examples rather than abstract. Use the examples in class and make your own (just make sure you ask if you're right) pic.twitter.com/EWe6OSiIB3

5) Dual Coding: use visuals like self made pictures and diagrams and relate them to the words and vice versa- relate words to pictures. pic.twitter.com/Z4w1sNiRG5

6) Retrieval Practice: recall what you know without your notes or books. Focus your studies on what you didn't know or got wrong. pic.twitter.com/JGFJBdbvYc
