Headed for an “A”!

The longer we’re in school, the better we get at learning.

Whether we’re studying geometry, science or English literature, most of us use a variety of techniques to truly master the new material.

For example, you might learn best by listening to a podcast. Others may find it helpful to see the information written on a blackboard. Most students also benefit by verbally explaining the material to another person. You might want to even take copious (see definition below) notes to enhance your learning.

Regardless of your preferred method of learning, it’s always a good idea to combine as many of these techniques as possible. The more areas of the brain that you use to store the data, the more likely you are to have really learned something new!

Speak Your mind: What is the most effective way for you to learn new material—and why?

COPIOUS:  Abundant, plentiful, existing in large quantities.
