Learning and
understanding takes time. It is not defined by time or the amount of content
you read. Becoming an effective learner is what leads to better understanding
of the concepts you are being taught in class. It depends with the course you
are doing. A science course demands for more time when compared to an English
literature class. An effective learner has must be able to retain, recall and
transfer the information taught when they are doing tests and exams. Don’t get
tired of learning over and over again. Let your learning schedule be as
consistent as possible.
Employing
different ways will also boost learning. Use both verbal and visual skills at
your disposal. This is where you tell a story you saw to a friend or scribble
down what you can remember. Teach other students if you have time. It helps cement the knowledge in your memory. While teaching another
person it helps hearing them out. If you have a chance to go to a practical
class, go for it. This helps students pursuing science courses. Make a habit of
relating the information you know with what has been taught. That’s how you
become an effective learner.
