I just did a guest post at the Ririan Project about how to improve your learning. If you like the ideas about holistic learning in my article, How to Ace Your Finals Without Studying, then you will probably enjoy the tips I posted for how to actually go about doing it. Some of the tips should be familiar to my readers, but I tried to relate the concepts in a new way to make them more practical.
Summary of 7 Little Known Ways to Drastically Improve Your Learning:
- Learn Holistically
- Visualize It
- Diagram It
- Metaphor It
- Test It
- Teach It
- When in Doubt, Link or Peg It
