how to improve your listening skills in lectures

improving your listening skills in lectures can make a big difference in how well you understand and retain information. here are some strategies to help you become a better listener:

prepare beforehand: review any assigned readings or materials before the lecture. this will give you a better understanding of the topic and help you follow along more easily.

stay focused: minimize distractions by sitting at the front of the class and maintaining eye contact with the lecturer. this can help you stay engaged and attentive.

take effective notes: use methods like the cornell note-taking system or mind mapping to organize your notes. focus on capturing key points and main ideas rather than writing down everything.

listen for structure: pay attention to how the lecture is organized. lecturers often use cues like “first,” “next,” and “finally” to signal important points.

ask questions: if something is unclear, don’t hesitate to ask questions during or after the lecture. this can help clarify your understanding and keep you engaged.

review and revise: go over your notes soon after the lecture to reinforce what you’ve learned and fill in any gaps.

practice active listening: engage with the material by summarizing key points in your own words and making connections to what you already know.

do you have any specific challenges you face with listening in lectures?

my grandmother recently said that it's obvious that I have a strong craving for art, which no one else can ignore and I need to do something about it... well, like what? to dedicate my whole soul and heart to this? totally agree, it sounds like a great idea!

How could such a beautiful man have been made just for me?

Made for me to love, to cherish, to hold close and never let him go.

Until fate dealt us a cruel hand and decided that we didn't get to have our forever like it had promised when we first met in that orphanage almost four decades ago- in a quaint little town by London.

It was not a perfect life, for it had several faults and many heartaches along the way- but it was ours regardless and I would never regret a single moment spent with you.
