sometimes the ideals we have may not always work out. On two of the days I had intended to wake up and study at 7 before my son wakes up I ended up sleeping in. Granted I have an illness that is imperative that I maintain proper rest so I try my best to allow myself to improvise when needed. That being said rather than using my allotted study times those days I had to make little chunks of study time make up for my mistake. I do still believe that it is important to make a schedule even though…

titled, “The Critical Importance of Retrieval for Learning,” with the study conducted and written by, Jeffrey D. Karpicke and Henry L. Roediger III. It has been said that learning is considered complete if a student can provide the correct answer to a question. The basic idea of the experiment was to have students learn foreign vocabulary words through the process of repeated study-test trials.

It is often believed that flying to a destination is more dangerous than driving. Similarly, it is often believed that murder is more common than suicide. And while these are held as apparent truths for much of the population, these are actually false assumptions. In actuality, there are multiple fatal car crashes every week and there are twice as many suicide deaths per year than there are murders. (Curtis) These are known to psychologists as availability heuristics or our mental shortcuts to…

does differently. In my past I have found that I work best with diagrams and pictures for studying since I am a very visual learner. I have also used list and steps or rewriting my notes to help me study. In classes like anatomy and microbiology; diagrams, pictures, and videos have always helped me study processes or steps. Science classes happen to be most of my classes since I am a nursing major so I am using diagrams a lot. When I am taking my notes, highlighting key terms is helpful and also…

(Kichigina) Basically, the author is trying to say that the…
