Here’s A Close Of Pic Of My Handwriting For The Anon !! it Keeps Changing Ugh Someone Help

reblog if ur a studyblr!!

need more studyspo on my dash now that school’s starting D:

17.2.16// Half term is going so quickly this week 😳

I always get asked about studyblr’s who study different subjects, so I’m going to be making a list/page on my blog dedicated to studyblrs categorised into different subjects so it’s easier for you guys to find people who study similar subjects!

Reblog and Tag your Subject 

Tag Your Level of Study - High School, Undergrad etc. 

You can tag multiple subjects for multiple categories

Follow my blog! (You don’t have to but it would be nice)

Message me if you have any questions or concerns!

Apples - the peel of the apples includes a powerful antioxidant called quercetin that enhances memory function

Avocados - promotes brain health and contributes to healthy blood flow

Berries - such as blueberries, cherries and even grapes have a direct effects on brain function. It contains antioxidants that improve blood flow to the brain and enhance neural activity

Broccoli - great source of vitamin K - enhance cognitive function and improve brainpower

Dark chocolate - has a powerful antioxidant which includes several natural stimulants that enhance focus and concentration

Extra Virgin Olive Oil - has a powerful antioxidants known as polyphenols that improve learning and memory

Eggs - more specifically the yolks, leading source of choline which is a precursor for acetylcholine - neurotransmitter involved in helping you remember things

Fish - have Omega-3 fatty acids that are essential to proper neural function. According American Journal of Clinical Nutrition - reduce risk of dementia as you get older

Nuts - rich source of vitamin E

Onions - ability to improve important brain function like memory and focus

Oatmeal - reduce risk for heart disease and promotes good flow to the organ system which includes the brain

Rosemary - contains carnosic acid that helps protect the brain from neurodegeneration; protects the brain against chemical free radicals

Salmon - omega-3 fatty acids to help keep your brain running smoothy and improve memory

Tomatoes - contains lycopene that could help protect against the kind of free radical damage to cells which occurs in the development of dementia

Turmeric - helps boost antioxidant levels and keep your immune system healthy; improves brain’s oxygen intake, keeping  you alert and able to process information

Yerba Mate - can enhance short term brain power

20th april 2016 : [60/100 days of productivity]

taken from my ig: @study.relief // it was such a sunny day today!! and i got back two IB Biology HL tests and i did adequately however i’m still quite far from my target so i’m back to work! #doin’itfortheHL666   +black pen / blue pen / paper /binder / textbook  ✨✨

I have such productivity guilt that sometimes I feel bad for being tired?? Which is kind of ridiculous and totally unreasonable. ^^; So please don’t be like me and let yourself be tired! Our bodies and minds are only capable of so much!

Finishing up the week here…thought I’d post a photo of this week’s spread! 😸

if this candle doesn’t inspire u to study then idk what will 🔬

Note-Taking

Hey guys! So I’ve been receiving questions regarding my note-taking style and strategy for quite some time now but I believe I have never answered them in detail. The good news is, I finally decided to make a post about this (plus, I had fun making the graphics :D). Note that I am a visual learner, so my note-taking methods may not be effective for some of you, but I hope you can all learn something.

Class Notes

I only use one notebook for all my class notes, an A4 grid notebook whose pages I divide into two columns.

I use the outline method for in-class notes, which means I write information chronologically, in the order that they are taught. Some teachers do not have properly structured presentations/lessons (good thing my physics teacher does) so when in need, I use arrows to connect related information.

Abbreviations to me are one of the most important things to master when taking notes. I personally make them up as I go along. Some examples of abbreviations I use are:

w/c - which

w/ - with

cpd - compound

envt - environment

digenz - digestive enzyme

It might be confusing, but to me, knowing the context and part of speech are enough for all abbreviations to be comprehended.

Here’s an example: ‘Indonesia’s tsunami pre-warning system is made up of two types of components’ could become ‘Indo’s snmi pre-warn sys 2 type comp’.

After Class

The first thing I would do is highlight keywords and terminology (and sometimes formulas). For physics, since my teacher is relatively succinct, I don’t really highlight, but for humanities and biology, I look for words that would be expected by a mark scheme, words that are crucial to the understanding of each particular piece of information.

I would then check if the material taught coincides with the syllabus, and if not, note down any points that are missing or have yet to be taught. You could write these on a post it or on the syllabus itself, but I prefer to highlight the syllabus’ pdf file.

Rewritten Notes

My rewritten notes are arranged based on the order they appear in the syllabus unless there are pieces of information that are related to more than one topic.

I use a black pen for rewriting notes as well as colored pens to write keywords and terminology only. I know some people who write whole sentences in colored pens but to me that is ineffective; we all have our own learning styles. When making tables, I usually use different colors for different columns (see the table for different types of radiation above) which is most often the color I associate with each word. For example, water would be blue, ocean would be a darker shade, ice would be a lighter shade, and water vapor would be purple.

I still abbreviate words in my rewritten notes, but they’re not as condensed as the ones in my class notes. Another thing I find helpful is leaving a bit of space between separate points especially if the page doesn’t have a lot of diagrams. I can’t think linearly, so I can’t remember super lengthy bullet points.

I use mildliners and a drawing pen to make my diagrams (more of these in my biology notes) but I only start with pencil if it’s a complex diagram. I rarely highlight my rewritten notes, but even if I do, it’s usually only the headings and formulas.

I don’t have a rough draft for my notes, but I try to visualize the layout. I try to alternate between words and pictures/diagrams so that when I’m sitting for an exam, all I have to do is imagine that I’m looking at that page and I can remember where everything is.

Well, that’s all from me. I hope that this information could be of some use to every single one of you. Don’t hesitate to ask me questions if you’re confused about note-taking or any other problems you might have :)
