Pick something that works for you because everyone learns differently. I personally like to draw pictures of notes I just looked at. You can try the “loci” method of studying which involves associating places with certain words or phrases. You can associate objects with words or phrases. You can take a moment to think about how certain notes relate to you personally. Think about at what place or time in your life that you had seen a concept. You could concept map by organizing and categorizing notes. You could make mnemonic devices. this is an example from a biology course.

Mnemonic device

“Some Grownups Can’t See Magic Ponies But Children CAN”

Explanation

Classes and subclasses of Phylum Mollusca:
S = Scaphopoda
G = Gastropoda
C = Caudofoveata
S = Solenogastres
M = Monoplacophora
P = Polyplacophora
B = Bivalvia
C = Cephalopodia
CAN = (sub-classes of Cephalopoda) Coleoids, Ammonoids, and Nautiloids

now for classes, some tips would be to ask questions on anything you don’t understand and if you need to, schedule some one on one time with the teacher or professor.

Go through the chapter you know you will go over in class while waiting for class to begin, that way you can make questions and get a general overview and understanding of the material. There are many more effective ways to study and retain information. You can make up games, discuss notes with classmates, etc. If you do things like this you should see an improvement in your grades. It can be really fun and it really does help. Best of luck to you!

If what you say is true, didn’t remember anything, there could be several reasons: information overload, stress, poor learning skills, tiredness …. You may need to develop your meta-learning skills, ie learning how to learn. There are many sources for learning skills. Some basics are – give yourself time to think about the new information, translate it in to words that you understand, link the new information with previously learned information, diagram the info, give yourself breaks between learning periods, exercise, eat properly, don’t be afraid to ask for help from others. Find the learning style/s that suit you and don’t expect perfection.
