Hand't been consistent with Study Sundays. Trying to make up for it. Also found this orange felt tip brush pen in my drawer and went ham.

My september Harry Potter themed bullet journal spread! inspired by amandarachlee's october 2018 video ✨ I thought the back to school season needed a ~back to hogwarts~ vibe instead... (yo still waiting for my letter)

I haven't really shared my bullet journal on here but let me know if you're into it? I could always post my monthly spreads or whatever x

Study Sundays : The Feynman Technique

What is the Feynman technique?

The Feynman technique involves writing out your knowledge of a topic as if you were teaching it to someone else, in order to find out for yourself what you do and don’t understand about a subject. You also find analogies and other ways of teaching it to yourself in the process, which helps with memorisation.

How to use the Feynman Techneque:

Pick A Topic Write the topic at the top of a new page (most tutorials ask for a new note book, but any blank page works fine. Find what works for you and fits your circumstances best; I use a powerpoint!).

Write Down What You Know as if you were explaining the subject to a student, at least a level below the level you’re learning at. So, if you’re doing an undergraduate degree, you want to be explaining it to someone who is at most in sixth-form (UK) / their last 2 years of High School (US). This will help you find what you understand well, and what you don’t.

Return To Your Study Materials when you get stuck. If you find a gap in your knowledge, go back and fill it! Read your notes, books, or even run a quick google search and read until you understand the point well enough to explain it simply. Then go back to writing.

Take it Further:

Once you have what you think is a good explanation of the material for yourself, it can help to have someone studying the same subject at your level or higher to try your explanation on, eg; other students, your subject tutor. They might spot gaps you didn’t notice, or help you expand your knowledge further. Also, if you use your explanation with another student, you might help them in the process!

I personally find the Feynman Technique very useful, and so it’s basically what this blog is all about! My Physics Friday videos are me making my explanations built using this method available, for others to use, but also for them to help me find gaps in what I know. In the end, it helps me and my audience learn together.

September is nearly over!! which means so are my Harry Potter-themed spreads! (and that it's only a month until the CAT ewww).

I've also really enjoyed this month's bullet journal theme! ✨ I'm gonna miss the wizarding vibes ~ (send me any suggestions for my October theme!!)

Some revision for AS Ethics ✨

I can’t quite believe that it is nearly September !? Where has summer gone? I’ve been so busy all summer doing homework, summer reading, catch-up work, my EPQ... I feel like I haven’t really had a proper break?
