Even though my last post has been quite a while ago, I didn't forget that I wanted to update you on my study notes & learning system, and since I just took my first master’s exam (you guessed it, statistics duuh!) I feel like I can now report on the whole cycle: From taking notes and organising lecture documents to studying for the final exam: I created a really awesome system that serves its purpose in helping me to study more effectively.

What I do first of all, right after I enrolled for the courses I want to take that semester: I design / draw covers for each lecture in Procreate. This might not be the most important step (and also I can imagine that under time pressure this was the first thing I’d stop doing), but as long as I have time to do it, it is something that I look forward to, that gets me in the mood of a new semester and makes me excited to look at my notebooks 🤩. I usually do this in Procreate and afterwards import the files into GoodNotes as covers of the new notebooks (one notebook for each course).

To benefit optimally during the lectures, I then import the lecture slides (if available at the time) into GoodNotes. I REALLY love that GoodNotes syncs between devices and that there’s a desktop (macOS) version. Makes copy-pasting documents so much easier and faster! When I’m done, I can then just jot down my notes next to the slides, which later helps a lot with understanding the topic.

When studying for the final exam I almost always rewrite me notes, this helps me so much with making sense of everything and joining the dots, as well as with memorising the facts. I really try to work in all the information I have (eg from my own notes, lecture slides, books,…) and combine them with documents like graphics or pictures for easier comprehension. And even though in the end I am left with an encompassing script, it doesn’t take a lot of space (wheter physically nor digitally) so I can conveniently file it away to review the notes at a later date. And how magical that with GoodNotes you can search your own handwriting; this makes finding keywords so much easier!!

I am quite a haptical person, so for exams that are especially hard like oral exams, where I really need to know my stuff, I like to print my notes after I’m done writing / summarising them. I then bind them with the ARC dicbounding system (which is an AMAZING system that I will tell you in another post!!), and use that final textbook-like script for studying. Gladly I didn’t have too many exams so far, where I really had to learn something by heart, but when I have to do that, I really like flash cards to accelerate that process. I konw there are good revision-apps as well, but I’m no pro (yet) when it comes to those. Feel free to recommend me your favourites tho :) 

So thats basically it! I’d really like to know wheter it’s just me, or if you guys benefit from rewriting everything in the end as well. Please tellll meeeee. And apart from that I hope this might help someone who is still trying to figure out a studying system that works for them ☺️😊 Save for later via IG (@riri.studies) or share with somebody who might benefit 💛

06.01.2017 // German finals

My german final is in five days which means: past paper after past paper after past paper.

Luckily, this one turned out quite colourful. After all the studying I��ve already done, I don’t think that words exist to express how happy I’ll be when that damn exam is over :)
