Super top students: the most efficient learning method for top students

Chapter 45
Learning requires "digging the root" and "questioning the bottom line"

First of all, we must be sure that in learning, it is very valuable to be able to ask questions.

Let’s first listen to Xiaofang’s successful experience:
"'The sea of ​​learning is boundless and hard work', how can the word 'hardship' be so good! There is a good saying, 'Physics is difficult, chemistry is annoying, and math homework can't be done'. The answer is 'Chinese is memorized, history is tired, and politics Sleeping together in class'. Turning on the lights and fighting at night, until the coffee is on the table, the morning light outside the window, but the grades have not improved. I often lament for this kind of people. They really paid much more than me, but the rewards seem to be disproportionate. I think it depends on how you look at learning. If you regard learning as a hard job, you can only learn more and harder. But I think learning is infinitely fun, because in learning, whenever I encounter a problem, I always I will try my best to think about it and connect it with the knowledge I have learned.

"If some places still cannot be explained, I will check the information, ask teachers and classmates, and some questions even involve the knowledge of multiple disciplines, and in the process, I will find new questions, which will lead me to explore more deeply .When you finally master it, those cumbersome exercises will be solved. Exquisite speeches in class, intense discussions after class, you will be surprised to find that learning is a relaxed and happy thing.”

Therefore, learning requires "digging the root" and "questioning the bottom line", not afraid of difficult problems, because in the face of difficult problems, our only attitude towards them is - to solve them!
Insight into the secrets of top students' note-taking

Notes are an important means for us to accumulate knowledge and the most effective way to make up for memory defects.

As the saying goes, "a bad pen is worse than a good mind", this is exactly what it says.

Notes are conducive to the understanding and mastery of knowledge, and can cultivate our self-learning ability, comprehensive ability and summary ability.At the same time, notes also have a good effect on helping us consolidate knowledge and exercise memory.

The notes reflect the key points, difficulties and doubts of the teacher's lectures.Through class notes, you can master the teacher's thinking methods, analysis methods, and problem-solving skills and sequences.Therefore, it can be said that class notes are our information base and database, which provide us with rich reference materials for our review and homework after class, and these materials are valuable content that cannot be found in textbooks and reference books.

There is another advantage of taking notes, which is to prevent us from being distracted and wandering in class, and encourage us to concentrate, think positively, and deeply understand the knowledge taught by the teacher; at the same time, it can fully mobilize the eyes, ears, hands, and brain. The mutual cooperation and coordination of organs can exercise our organ coordination ability.

It is not difficult to see that notes play an important role in learning. Like a teacher who solves difficult problems for you, it plays an important role in learning.

So, how to make a scientific and effective notebook?

1. Take notes, there are many benefits

The purpose of taking notes is to transfer knowledge.Therefore, when taking notes, the brain should be the master, thinking should be the center, understanding should be the standard, and the focus should be on acquisition, turning the knowledge of teachers and books into your own knowledge.Once you understand this truth, you will know how to make yourself take notes.

2. When to take notes

The premise of taking notes is not to affect listening and thinking, which requires students to grasp the timing when taking notes.There are three opportunities to take notes: one is when the teacher writes on the blackboard, you should take the time to memorize;

3. Teach you a good way

Pay attention to these five methods in class notes: one is concise and clear, first write down the titles and subtitles of the chapters you are talking about, and divide them into sections according to the main points; or symbols for shorthand; third, key words and sentence patterns in English and Chinese lessons can be recorded directly on the edge of the book page, so that it is easy to find when reviewing; Formulas and sample questions; fifth, politics and history, just focus on writing down the teacher's comprehensive explanation of the problem.

When organizing notes, the first thing to do is to fill in the content that was not written down in class, and remember to correct the inaccurate ones.However, completeness is not long-winded, it still requires succinctness, prominent focus, concise content, and one counts as ten.

4. Pay attention to how you take notes

Class notes are generally divided into three situations: one is to use your own language to write down the key points of the teacher's lectures; the other is to record some important classic words, definitions, formulas, arguments, arguments, conclusions, concepts, time, The location, etc. must be copied accurately; the third is to write down the questions and doubts that are not understood as they are, so that they can be studied, thought, checked and asked after class.

To the system.The content of notes in class is often out of order and of different severity in order to buy time and not affect the lectures. Not only is it lack of system, but after a while, I may not be able to figure out my own "cursive script".So sorting out notes after class can improve a knowledge system.Try to be consistent with the textbook or the teacher's teaching system. Such a process is necessary. If you stick to it, you will find that the effect is amazing.

5. What to keep in your notes

When taking notes, don't spout thousands of words, but there is no point.There is no need to record many words of the teacher in class, but we must not be lazy or ignore the derivation of key points, difficulties and key formulas.

6. Record after you understand

When taking notes in class, the most worth reminding and repeatedly emphasizing is to distinguish which is the subject and which is the sub-body. "Listening" and "thinking" are the main body, and taking notes is the secondary body.You must not "full hall notes" and "full board notes", you must make sure you understand them, and remember them after you think about them.

7. Don’t “lose the big bucks”

Some students blindly pursue "beautiful" class notes and focus on taking notes. They often ask classmates around because they can't read a word or sentence on the blackboard.This not only loses the meaning of taking notes, but also turns the cart before the horse of "listening" and "recording" in class.

8. Strengthen finishing after class
Due to the tight time in class, some content that the teacher said may be missed at that time.After class, you should take time to supplement as soon as possible.For the chaotic parts recorded in class, it is best to rearrange and summarize, which is also an important part of deepening understanding and strengthening memory.

9. Remember to leave a subpage

Some students take notes very casually.This book today, that book tomorrow; write it down in the book today, and write it down in the notebook tomorrow; or a piece of paper today and a piece of paper tomorrow.In the end, the notes I took were in a mess, and I couldn't find them all when I was reviewing the application.Take notes as standard as possible, at least one for each subject, so that it is convenient to use.

To leave a subpage.Notes are reserved for sideline work, or one-third or one-fourth of a page is left blank, whether it is preview notes, class notes, or notes organized after class. The content of the auxiliary page generally includes 4 aspect:
(1) Contents and problems that I found that I did not master well enough or forgot during the preview, thoughts and experiences generated during the preview.

(2) The experience generated during the lecture, the mistakes that are prone to occur (to remind yourself), the words that are easily confused (to show the difference), and the problems that should be paid attention to when reviewing notes.

(3) Note-related content extracted from similar books other than textbooks.

(4) Supplement the relevant knowledge not mentioned in the textbook or the teacher.

Finally, don't copy other people's notes.Some students are lazy and don't want to take notes in class, so they copy other people's notes after class.This is a very bad study habit, which is not conducive to exercising your writing ability.

Treat classmates as resources for learning
The fastest way to achieve success is to use effective methods that have been proven in practice, so you should seriously learn from the excellent learning methods of your classmates, never be proud and inferior, and study with a normal heart.

The more excellent students are, the better they are at discussing or arguing with their classmates. The more problems they discover and solve, the more perfect their personal knowledge will be.Students are all aware of fishing net cafes, do you know that I found that there is also a knowledge network in our study.

Only by mastering every knowledge point and strengthening it through communication with classmates can we weave this knowledge network completely and firmly.If some knowledge points are not mastered well, when you "fish", the "fish" will get out of this loophole. The more you slip through the net, the more "fish" run, and the lower your score will be.

Some scholars have studied that two people studying together can get better grades than studying alone.Because two people can deepen their understanding through discussions and mutual explanations, and two people will also promote each other when they are together.

In addition to pairing with two people, you can also form a study group. With a group, you will have more competitors and you will learn faster.However, when several people study together, sometimes they can't help but play together. If this is the case, they must exercise certain restraint.

We are currently living in an age of high technology.Many people began to use computer networks to study, so that although everyone is not in the same place, they can also obtain the effect similar to a study group.

Sometimes, exchanging notes with good friends is a good way to study. From other students' notes, you can find what you missed.This is not to copy the notes of classmates completely, but to find the content that has been missed or ignored by oneself.Through such exchanges, students can also promote each other!
Therefore, any student who wants to be a top student must remember to cherish the "learning resources" around you.

Learn from others and learn from what can be learned
Harvard has a famous saying that says that 80% of the knowledge Harvard students learn at Harvard comes from their classmates.

Everyone is unique in their own way, including the learning experience.The reason why others can become top students in their studies has its own merits, but it is forbidden to copy other people's experience.

The following two short stories illustrate this point.

(One)

The New Year is coming, and at the animal party, giraffes and red-crowned cranes are dancing to the beat of the music.

So it decided to ask giraffes and red-crowned cranes to learn how to dance.

From then on, as long as there is a dance, the elephant will actively participate in it.At the beginning, it stood quietly by the side, thinking carefully about the dance steps and rhythms of other animals, asking questions when it didn't understand, and gradually figured out a set of dances that suited its body.

In a blink of an eye, another party started.This time, the little elephant walked into the center of the dance hall generously.The music sounded, and the little elephants danced gracefully to the passionate beat and drum beats, and their movements were very graceful.

The other animals all set their sights on the baby elephant.With the ups and downs of the music, the little elephant's dance steps are sometimes concise and lively, and sometimes full of passion. Its long nose stretches and contracts freely, constantly changing various tricks.

Everyone was moved by the little elephant's dancing posture and gave it warm applause one after another.

(two)

During the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a beautiful woman named Xi Shi in the State of Yue.Xi Shi generally wears light makeup and wears very simple clothes. No matter where she goes, there are many people "watching" to her, and no one does not marvel at and praise her beauty.

Shih Tzu suffers from a heartache.One day, her illness relapsed, and she was covering her chest with her hands, her brows were furrowed, revealing a delicate and feminine beauty.When she walked through the countryside, all the villagers watched her with wide eyes.Because people like her, her sickness also looks charming, lovely and charming in people's eyes.

There is an ugly girl named Dong Shi in the country, who is ordinary in appearance and has no cultivation.She usually moves vulgarly and speaks loudly, but she dreams of being a beautiful woman all day long.She wears this kind of clothes today, and wears that hairstyle tomorrow, but still no one says she is beautiful.

On this day, she happened to be on the road and saw Xi Shi covering her chest and frowning, which won the favor of so many people, so when she went back, she also imitated Xi Shi's appearance, covering her chest with her hands and frowning, and walked in the village. walk around.

Unexpectedly, her affectation made her look even uglier.As a result, when the rich people in the country saw her strange appearance, they immediately closed the door tightly; when the poor people in the country saw the ugly girl approaching, they immediately pulled their wives and children away from her.

When people saw this ugly girl who imitated Xi Shi's heartache and walked around the village in a weird way, it was like seeing a plague god.

It turned out that the girl only knew that Shih Tzu was beautiful when she frowned, but she didn't know why she was beautiful, so she simply imitated her appearance, but was ridiculed instead.

To learn from excellent people, to find an image that suits you, it is foolish to blindly imitate others.These two stories tell us that we must find the right direction to learn from others, and we must learn from the methods that are suitable for ourselves. We must not blindly copy them.

In learning, we should fully understand ourselves and others, and can learn from the following:
(1) Give yourself a clear role model to learn from, ask others for advice, be targeted, and at the same time pay attention to a friendly and sincere attitude and respect each other.

(2) Learn to accept the strengths of others, and sincerely praise the strengths of others, which will bring happiness to others and friends to yourself.

(3) If you want to learn the strengths of others sincerely, you must first look at the people around you seriously, use bright eyes to discover the strengths of others, and learn from them.

(4) Don't feel embarrassed, only by learning more from others' strengths can you make greater progress.
