hiya! do you have any study tips? i have an conservation biology test coming up and my teacher never gives out study guides. i usually make a billion flash cards, is this a good method?
Hiya yourself! I’m sorry your teacher doesn’t give out study guides, that can be difficult especially with biology. I’m currently working on some study guides/tips but I’ll give you a bit of a preview to help you out in present! Sorry, this will be kinda a long post but I hope it is helpful :)
(P.S: this really depends on what type of learner you are. If you don’t already know,
here
is a simple test that could be helpful. If you are still curious, feel free to message me again with your results and I can try to add some tips more specific to your learning style!)
First flash cards can be amazing and super helpful, but if they’re your only study/review technique, they can actually be harmful. Your brain will begin to respond to the patterns, but won’t actually be learning and understanding the material. I usually only use flash cards when I am already fairly sure of the material. That being said, I do tend to write the flash cards out pretty early. Just the act of writing/rewriting can be a great study tool!
Before you really start to study, go through your textbook and notes and write down the major topics you covered in class. This will help you stay focused and on top of what you should be studying. Then focus on notes!
Depending on your learning style, it can be helpful to write your notes in a few different ways. I personally am an auditory/artistic learner, so I speak aloud when I study and my notes are very artsy. I would skim through all your notes/readings and write down what you think is important, even if you already took notes on them. Draw out diagrams, highlight or color-code if that is helpful and once you finish a page, skim it over one more time.
Finally, and I think this may be the most helpful (at least to me), teaching is a wonderful way to learn. Find a friend willing to spend a few hours with you and try to teach them the material without using your notes/textbook. If you do need to reference the book make note of that: that topic is what you should be spending more time learning. Teaching is a wonderful tool both because it can assess if you actually know what you’re doing, and by telling everything to another person, they might catch something that does not make sense.
OH! And if at any time something does not make sense, visit your teacher! I don’t know what level of school you are in but your teacher should have time to work one-on-one with a student to clear something up. Don’t be afraid to take advantage of them :)
I hope this was helpful. Let me know how it goes, I am wishing you the best of luck!!!!!!
but also the kind of guy who thinks having any kind of thought about another dude makes you Gay Exclusively and is very in denial and hides behind his attraction to women. No Homo.
but then he gets married to ishimaru so there goes that
Somehow this pic (41( . )media( . )tumblr( . )com/bcb6bb742a1f6c0b7c4ee72a3a74c7b4/tumblr_n19y262hEB1rebih1o1_1280( . )jpg) always makes me think of Chihiro and Mondo and I thought I'd share this wonderful thought with you
There was once talk about the sexualities of the DR characters and I'd just like to point out that Yamada actually says that he doesn't care if a character(/someone) is a boy or girl as long as they're cute and fullfill his "standards" or something like that
yeah he does actually. he says, i think, that he’s only into 2D, aka. hentai, which honestly, that could be being asexual and with autochorissexualism, which is like, an attraction to the fantasy or the content but not like, the desire to be a part of thatbut then it’s also implied like he is also into actual humans, like he volunteers for trash duty, and they accuse him of trying to look at the girls’ stuff, and he denies it, but when they’re like, “well send sakura with you, if youre not doing anythign you’re not in trouble” and he looks stressed out. And he’s one of the ones insisting you perv on the girls in the bathhouse But also he’s a joke character so it’s very like. he’s not really agreeing with the accusations and its like. youre just trying to make him do things for the gag. nothing he says or does is supposed to be taken seriously
Can I just say I love your version of Naegi? He just... When he isn't being a little shit to his friends (i.e. the "animal care" comic and your most recent butter thing,) he's taking exactly ZERO PERCENT OF THEIR SHIT (particularly in the New Game Plus AU) and I love it.
hahaha, oh god he’s so out of characterhe just works so well in random situations, but with the shit i give him there’s no other response but give up and leave
