So I started working in a lab, I'm officially an oceanographer!! I remember I was suuuper excited about it, bcs it IS a big deal to get a job only 3 months after my graduation! I'm learning so much and I like the prospects! And to top it off, my work is only 10min away from the beach, I can go there e-v-e-r-y-d-a-y if I want to!

Along with that, hum, my current obsession is to go to cafés, I don't know if you noticed yet hahah My city was doing small city stuff, like u know, having a gastronomic festival, and ofc I was part of it! Like I said, I'm living my best life now!

I’m lucky to have an amazing space to work from, and I’m privileged to have enough money for nice things sometimes (even if I spend it too soon). I feel guilty for not working with a level of concentration and efficiency that the aesthetic I cultivate implies. Not sure how to handle this without dealing with topics of mental health and capitalism and gender.

I haven’t felt so peaceful in a long while… it’s amazing how much good weather and some solitude can do for a person.

Aug 18th, 2022

After getting a weekend break I got back to reading papers. There's this cute Cafe near my place that I had been meaning to go to since 2019. At the beginning of July, I thought it was the perfect time to allow myself to fulfill this wish. It was the first time I actually studied outside my house since the pandemic. I don't have words to describe to you how free I felt, just going outside, without any worries on how much would it cost me, how long would it take, bcs I was doing something I wanted to, I was doing something for ME.

In the following week I kept working on the Master's pre-project. But I was still unsure whether my proposals were even feasible. That was distressing me bcs 1. I planned to have finished the project before making the first contact with the future advisor and 2. I was already a few days past the deadline I had set. Once again, my therapist helped me. She told me "Why are you waiting to send an email to the professor? You could send an email introducing yourself, saying you're interested in being his student and asking what you need to show him to be considered for that position, right?". For as simple as it is, to me it was mind-blowing! Therefore, I started working on that email.

A guide to effectively using flashcards

Flashcards were an important part of my preparation for my IGCSE examinations. I found them extremely useful for retaining a wide range of concepts (especially for subjects like biology and psychology) in a simple yet effective way!

I hope y’all find these tips useful!! :)

PART 1

Do not rely solely on them

It’s important to note that flashcards are not a one-way ticket to that A*. It is a combination of several things that essentially leads you to a successful result (eg: past papers, homework, readings, research, etc).

Furthermore, it also depends on what type of material you’re studying and how far you are into the learning process.

Recognise which subject requires them

Flashcards are generally used for knowledge-intensive subjects that require a lot of factual memorisation over a long period of time. These can include the sciences, history, literature, etc.

Subjects like these contain a multitude of relationships, terms, processes and facts that need to be individually internalised in order to achieve a meaningful level of mastery of the overall subject matter.

I didn’t bother using flashcards for subjects like mathematics or business studies.

PART 2

Avoid information overload

it can feel tempting to make flashcards for every little fact and shred of information so that you don't miss it on the exam. However, this usually results in an overwhelming number of decks.

During the initial exposure to the information, make sure that you have thoroughly read through it to isolate the pertinent facts and turn these into question-and-answer flashcards. To do this, I referred to end of unit tests and homework to get a good idea on which aspects of the topic/chapter are typically assessed.

It’s really important to condense the information since flashcards are typically used for REVIEW and to help consolidate your knowledge. Trying to add in an entire chapter of 12 pages really defeats the purpose of using them.

I was constantly worried that I might cut out information that may end up being vital. I was able to remove this fear of mine by ensuring that I only put down one concept/question per flashcard and then list down the components that made up that particular concept.

For example, these were my notes on medicinal drugs, with a focus on antibiotics. One of the key requirements listed in my specification was:

“To describe the functions of antibiotics for the treatment of bacterial infection”

I used this to understand what pieces of information to isolate.

As you can see above, I only listed down the functions of antibiotics and nothing else. I didn’t mention the fact that they were ineffective against viruses because there is a reason to that and the concept can be better explored in another card. I instead, chose to focus on how antibiotics combat bacterial infections.

This saves a lot of time during the revision process and also ensures that the amount of information you have to know isn’t too overwhelming.

Create Mental Connections

This can be easily achieved by mixing pictures and words or using mnemonic devices. These help increase your brain’s ability to recall what you’re studying. Just be careful to only use these when absolutely necessary.

Organisation of Your Flashcards

It’s highly likely that you may never use your flashcards when they are stacked one over the other until they form a skyscraper. This is where organisation comes into play.

For biology in particular, I organised my decks by chapter and then divided it into decks for the sub-topics within the chapter:

As you can see, I basically divided the chapter of “Biological Molecules” into those sub-topics which made the whole revision process less overwhelming and it also helped me plan what I wanted to study because I would have already had a basic overview of what I’m familiar with and what I needed to review further.

PART 3

The Process of Retrieving the Answer

When going through your decks, it’s important to note down the answer or say it out loud instead of adopting the “oh I know this already, so it’s fine” attitude. You should be able to hold yourself accountable and avoid falling for the false illusion of confidence. Even if you are already familiar with that particular piece of information, there’s no harm in reinforcing it again. Better to be safe than sorry.

Shuffle Your Decks

This is an incredibly effective way of challenging yourself with spacing and interleaving, instead of going through your flashcard deck in the same order again and again. You won’t be able to properly retain those concepts by trying to retrieve information based on the deck and card number!

Spaced Repetition

Spaced Repetition is an evidence-based learning technique boosts learning by spreading revision out over time so learning is not crammed all at once.

You can find a detailed explanation about the effectiveness of this technique here

PART 4

Anki

This app allows you to create online flashcards which you can use to test yourself in practice sessions. It uses an algorithm built around active recall and spaced repetition and hence learns as you progress through your studies and revision.

Anki is available for free on desktop and on all mobile devices except iOS, but I highly recommend it as it’s in-built algorithm and other features (more information about the app including the download link can be found here) were incredibly useful for me!

Quizlet

This is another online learning tool that allows users to create study tools such as interactive flashcards, tests, and study games.

The app makes it simple to start creating cards on the topic of your choice. In addition to text, you can also add images from your computer or Quizlet’s library. It also provides you with a variety of options when studying your cards. For more information on the features that Quizlet employs, visit this link

Quizlet is free but provides the option of a paid premium plan which includes additional features.

Brainscape

This app also implements spaced repetition, which has been shown to increase rate of learning.

Brainscape allows you to rate your confidence in each flashcard, on a scale of 1-5, which subsequently determines how frequently to repeat the flashcard. Lower-confidence items are repeated more frequently until you upgrade your confidence rating.

Like Quizlet, it is a free app but provides a paid pro plan with additional features.

Once again I want to emphasize that to truly succeed with flashcards, you need to learn how to create them correctly. The best app isn’t very useful if you’re not writing effective questions and answers.

That’s all I have for now, I really hope this post was helpful and if you have any additional tips or apps you’d like to suggest, feel free to reblog and add them!!

sending love and wishing you all a wonderful day!

August 24, 2021 [74/100] :: I don't think my desk will ever be clean again until I hand in my thesis. My friend from Sydney commented in our zoom session how crazy she thinks it is that we (other friend and I and all students here, really) write our theses in English, i.e. a non-native language, and that we should get credit for that. I continued writing a piece for my methods sections for which I made these artsy beautiful plots and I hope my PI will like them without offering ideas of what else to do with them. :')

2020.07.26 // Day 21

It’s really hard for me to study a language. I just learned english before because “it sounds better that way” rather than analyzing what is the subject, object and other parts of the sentence. Now I really gotta pay attention and re-learn all those stuff again 😂😭 studygram
