⋆ ˚。⋆୨୧˚ 15 tips through 15 days— follow me for more study tips and aesthetic content.
tip number five: practise effective note-taking techniques. 
Note-taking is the fundamentals of your higher education, and can only come by practising. Simply jotting down what you see from a slideshow is not the most effective way to understand and retain the information. Active note-taking techniques, like the Cornell method and mind mapping, can change the way you retain and process information.
The Cornell note-taking method is a structured approach that emphasises organisation and involvement. Divide your note-taking paper into three sections: one on the left, one on the right, and one at the bottom. Take notes in the right-hand column during the lecture or reading, focusing on major concepts, key points, and supporting info. After the lecture, go back your notes and jot down prompts or keywords that summarise the information in the right column in the left column. Write a brief summary of the entire page of notes in the final section. This summary serves as a quick reference for future reference.
Tumblr media
Mind mapping is a visual note-taking approach that utilises diagrams to communicate conceptual links. Begin at the centre of your page with a key point, central idea or topic. Extend the basic theme with subtopics or main points. Connect them using lines. Expand on each subtopic with relevant details, examples, and supporting information. Make your mind map more aesthetically appealing and remembered by using colours, symbols, and images.
Tumblr media
The connecting element among all strategies is active participation. Actively digesting material while taking notes, rather than simply writing words, it increases cognitive involvement. As a result, comprehension, memory retention, and recall improve during tests or assignments.
Active participation also fosters critical thinking. You're essentially analysing the material as you go while you're organising thoughts, summarising stuff, and visually showing linkages. This practice increases higher-order thinking skills, making it simpler to comprehend complex issues and efficiently apply your knowledge.

Paper drafting is… going. This paper is decidedly outside my normal realm and makes me stressed and you can tell because it’s taking way longer to figure out and draft.

🌻Morning routine & mixed feelings✨
Tumblr media
Today, I feel hopeful and excited.
I have been on a rollercoaster the past few weeks - with some big wins, confusion, pressure from every side, support from unexpected people, roaming directionless, and also good guidance. It was such a mixed feeling - being not able to celebrate my wins, trying not to get too excited, and at the same time working to make that dream true.
I know I am being cryptic but bear with me. I have something big coming up and you guys will be first to know when it actually happens. ❤️
Right now I am preparing for that Big Thing, and building my reading/writing habit is the first thing I am doing. Reading journal articles is such a soothing activity for me and it also gets my brain working. So I have chosen to do that first thing in the morning, every day.
The night before, I select an article to read in the morning and I try to finish the AIC - Abstract, Introduction, and Conclusion - within my one-and-a-half-hour reading time. If that paper is interesting and if it looks relevant to my study, I will bookmark it and spend more time on it. And because of that, I won't be able to read one paper every day (which is actually the goal). But, no perfectionism. Go with the flow. Right?
Do you guys have a similar morning routine? I would love any tips on how to keep this up in the long run - any advice is welcome!❤️⬇

⋆ ˚。⋆୨୧˚ 15 tips through 15 days— follow me for more study tips and aesthetic content.
tip number one: define your goals for the upcoming academic year and how you intend to achieve them.
what do you aim to achieve in each subject? Set goals that are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART).
Tumblr media
instead of saying something generic like, "I want to do well in English. I'll do this by reading."
you can use the guidelines (SMART) above, and instead establish a goal such as, "I'd like to further develop my vocabulary by the end of the semester. This will be achieved by reading books above my comprehension level and keeping a vocabulary list of words I don't understand."
this goal is SMART. It is specific (develop vocabulary), measurable (vocabulary list) achievable (reading books), relevant (books above comprehension level will make you more familiar with new vocabulary), and time-bound (the end of semester).
write down your goals and keep them accessible throughout the year. This allows you to better focus your efforts and track your success.
what are some of your goals for the next academic year?

The Neverending Reading List: Book LIV
Tumblr media
"They Say/I Say: The Moves That Matter in Academic Writing" by Gerald Graff and Cathy Birkenstein
[Part of the] PREFACE TO THE THIRD EDITION
WE CONTINUE TO BE THRILLED BY THE RECEPTION OF OUR BOOK, which has now sold over a million copies and is assigned in more than 1,500 (over half) the colleges and universities in the United States. We are also delighted that while the audience for our book in composition courses continues to grow, the book is increasingly being adopted in disciplines across the curriculum, confirming our view that the moves taught in the book are central to every academic discipline. At the same time, we continue to adapt our approach to the specific ways the “they say / I say” moves are deployed in different disciplines. To that end, this edition adds a new chapter on writing about literature to the chapters already in the Second Edition on writing in the sciences and social sciences. In this new chapter, “Entering Conversations about Literature,” we suggest ways in which students and teachers can move beyond the type of essay that analyzes literary works in isolation from the conversations and debates about those works. One of our premises here is that writing about literature, as about any subject, gains in urgency, motivation, and engagement when the writer responds to the work not in a vacuum, but in conversation with other readers and critics. … Even as we revised and added to “They Say/I Say,” our basic goal remains unchanged: to demystify academic writing and reading by identifying the key moves of persuasive argument and representing those moves in forms that students can put into practice. We hope this Third Edition will get us even closer to these goals, equipping students with the writing skills they need to enter the academic world and beyond.
GERALD GRAFF, a professor of English and Education at the University of Illinois at Chicago and the 2008 President of the Modern Language Association of America, has had a major impact on teachers through such books as Professing Literature: An Institutional History, Beyond the Culture Wars: How Teaching the Conflicts Can Revitalize American Education, and, most recently, Clueless in Academe: How Schooling Obscures the Life of the Mind. The new Common Core State Standards for K-12 cite his work on the importance of argument literacy for college and career readiness. CATHY BIRKENSTEIN, a lecturer at the University of Illinois at Chicago, has published essays on writing, most recently in College English, and, with Gerald, in The Chronicle of Higher Education, Academe, and College Composition and Communication. She and Gerald have given over a hundred lectures and workshops at colleges, conferences, and high schools—and are at present working on a book contending that our currently confusing school and college curriculum needs to be clarified by making the practice of argument the common thread across all disciplines.
