My Study Habits and Study Habits I Should Implement

I think this post is generally about the lesser known things about studying. The normal stuff like making a timetable is not included here because it's general stuff probably. Nontheless, I don't want to be judgemental and so I will put a link for the basic things here. It is pretty much a list in a sense and it's pretty comprehensive, so I really like that. Anyway, remember that learning is the outcome we desire and that studying may help us reach that goal.

I took a (free) course and it was very helpful for me. Although I am pretty sure it's catered towards kids, I enjoyed it nonetheless and learned a lot from it.

Realistic and Ideal Plan (For Me)

Studying beforehand is honestly the most ideal for me and probably a lot of people in general. Here's how I would study beforehand:

Do research online [refer to syllabus]
Make a powerpoint based on what has been found
See what makes sense and what doesn't when class comes aound.

I would suggest starting with math (or subjects like that), since it requires more understanding and needs a lot of practice.

Ways of Thinking

There's technically more ways to think than the ones I have listed. After all, the human mind doesn't actually occupy physical space. These are pretty common and so I incuded them. Besides, I can't give advice or talk about something I don't know that well about.

VISUAL

This link right here and here
Making powerpoints full of pictures or some equivalent (like flashcards with drawings)

AUDITORY

It usually helps me if I remember things in a song.
Make the words have some sort of rhythm. Basically, recite whatever you have to memorise in the rhythm of a tune or beat that is familiar to you. It works so well when I memorise phone numbers and other strings of numbers. If you're memorising the digits of pi, consider making it a song.

SENSORY

This particular section is very interesting. For me at least.

You can get someone to trace images/words on your hand. Works surprisingly well in my opinion.
I am not sure if this is counted as sensory, but studying in a group, or participating in discussions can really help strengthen your understanding of a topic.
