EPQ - Bose-Einstein Condensates Research

Summer studying challenge day thirty-three: what is your favourite summer clothing? Since I’ve been living in shorts and t-shirts for the last couple of months, I’ll have to say those! I like skirts too but it’s hard to find tops that go :(

This morning I had the brainwave that since I’m discussing concepts from papers written by Bose and Einstein... I should actually read the papers by Bose and Einstein, haha! Here’s to hoping I can extract some insight without knowing all the ins and outs of the maths...

One of the great things about studying theology is often you find that you understand people better. Many societies were founded and built upon the foundations of religion. It also helps make aware of misconceptions people have about members of religions. Here are my Islam revision notes.

Also Eid Al Adha Mubarak for tomorrow for all my Muslim followers, I hope you have a blessed day of Eid and a blessed day of Arafah today.

100 Days of Productivity - Day 19/100 February 18, 2018

Today was a really productive! I got done IPT homework, Modern history homework, edited a creative micro-writing task for advanced English and reorganised my desk cupboards (because they were a hot mess). I’ve also discovered UnJaded Jade, a beautiful YouTuber who I find so motivational and uplifting. If you haven’t already checked her out, what the heck have you been doing with your life? Make sure to go watch her videos, they’re amazing! Also, go follow @hannahtriesandcries, I’m loving their 100 Days of Productivity photos! All the best x

day 07/100 day of productivity - june 27, 2020

I’ve had a very busy week! 3 chapters this week for my history class & a chapter for my psychology class. I got 77.5% on the first chapter, then 82.5% on my second chapter for history and then 90% on my first psychology quiz! I’m kicking ass and I AM RELIEVED.

reviewing online lectures of quality control!✨

my struggle of online classes is that some of the lecturers dont provide video that actually explains the course, luckily i could find other lecturer that provides video so that i could learn from it yay

Spent half of the morning making flashcards for my clinical psychology exam (which is in July), I can‘t bother studying for my sociology exam yet, but I can‘t stand not being productive, so I‘m studying for clinical psychology instead :D I hope I can force myself to look at my sociology notes though.. I‘m going to watch Call me by your name tonight and I‘m really excited!

16.04. Rewriting my Histology notes and already hanging behind in the second week of the semester 👍 But coffee, plants and the blue sky keep my heart happy 🌱

hello all! someone asked for tips on taking notes from a textbook so i’ve done my best to put some thoughts together, and it kind of morphed into this. i hope this helps somewhat & feel free to add on anything you think i’ve missed!

create summary sentences! divide your reading by page/paragraph/subheadings/whatever feels right, read the section and then write 1-3 sentences or bullet points about what you’ve just read. make it simple but relevant. also include things you find particularly interesting!

learn to skim. odds are if a teacher/professor assigns three chapters, they don’t want you to read everything word by word. there will be some irrelevant parts. it’s your job to skim those sections as well as decide (based on knowledge from the class and other assignments) what is worth paying attention to and what isn’t.

similarly, if you are assigned 3 readings, one may not be as helpful as the others so you may take little to no notes on that one. that’s completely fine! but i do recommend actually doing as much of the reading as you can

on the other hand though, my political science class has so many different readings per class that i only end up doing about half of them simply because i don’t have the time. if you choose do do this, i’d recommend looking into all of the readings and only completing the ones that you feel will help you the most. that may mean doing the longest one because it has a big overview of everything, or it may mean only doing the one focused on economic factors because you didn’t understand that part of the lecture very well.

keep track of key words and definitions- this can be really helpful if you’re supposed to be learning broad concepts or trends but don’t let them bog you down. i find that using them in reference to something else makes it easier for me to learn and remember them, rather than spending hours copying definitions.

btw i also used the summary sentence method in high school when i was doing the ib diploma, but have since refined it a lot. i’ve definitely improved on deciding what i need to know and learn, so my biggest piece of advice is to be patient and trust your gut. 

annotating:

i’ve decided to make this a separate part because i use both of these methods for some classes, but i never do both for the same text– that is just too much.

typically (using my political science and anthropology classes as an example) if i have a physical copy of the reading (printed or my own copy of the book) i will just highlight and annotate. the key here is annotating in addition to highlighting. in these assignments i highlight pieces that would be useful in essays as well as pieces that explain concepts very briefly.

in the margins i will then write small notes about the paragraph (like summary sentences but even simpler)

i will also write down any questions that i think of, whether they are relevant or not.

if the text is online, then i will do what i outlined above in summary sentences.

all of that being said, this is what works best for me. also, i don’t have any textbooks for any of my current classes so all of the above info may not be helpful at all. i’ll definitely update this or make a new post specifically about textbooks in the future when i have more experience with them but for now i’m also going to include what a friend of mine does. 

skims the textbook chapter and highlights main points, she does this very, very quickly

meets up with a friend to do the assigned homework as well as go over basic points of the reading

returns to the textbook and reads it more thoroughly

this is definitely a lot of work, but depending on how your class typically runs and how you learn best it may be worth trying.

good luck my babes!!

xoxo annie
