According to some information I recently skimmed through, I was pretty surprised to read that cramming has its advantages. Really? Does it? Well, I will honestly say I have never been one to cram as I feel overwhelmed when I do, but the fact of the matter is as busy moms there may actually be times that we do indeed need to cram but I never thought there would be any advantages to except maybe a decent grade if I am lucky.
According to the Style Bum, (would you believe this is a fashion site)? “Cramming can actually be life-saving if it is done properly.” Hmmm, I bet you are curious right about now. Well, it goes on to say that: “The rush or thought of not having had studied or done homework should be used as motivational factors to instill knowledge and learning as fast as possible.” “Too many people have made the mistake of cramming but really placing nothing else in their head.” I have to laugh at all of this because I never have even thought about cramming in such a detail even down to the science of the brain.
The author of this very interesting article at the Style Bum actually offers some really amazing techniques to help in cases where you need to cram but successfully. Let us check them out, I am very interested in learning more about the benefits of cramming, how about you?
Time
How much time left do you have to cram? Your brain needs time to organize the info you are about to mentally digest. The author says that setting an atomic clock (found this very interesting), will boost your mental thought in order to break down the info present. Study only the main points of a topic instead of waisting time on other notes that may be of no relevance.
Most Important
Study the topics that seem most important and that you know will most likely be on the test. You want to pass the test but don’t expect to ace it completely unless you are lucky like some people.
Oral Examinations
Yikes, these might not be as easy to cram for. After all the Professor might be able to tell you are trying to skate by. Focus on an object in the room while you are about to relay the information you so rapidly studied. Try to relax this might help you get through the examination a little better.
These are some very interesting tips and something I might adopt in the future if I ever find myself having to cram.
How about you? Are you a crammer? Do you find this beneficial and very good news? What are some tips and tricks that may have gotten you through your cramming session? Please share.
]]>Education is an extremely important part of any individual's life. Just as education is so important, teachers are also important. In a classic classroom setting, there is usually one teacher for any given number of students. In many college classes, there is one professor for a huge number of class members. In online education settings, a teacher is still an integral part of the learning process. Whether they teach the online course, present an online lecture, or write the online course material, a teacher will still make or break the course. The quality of the teaching will result in that same quality of potential learning.
Since teachers are responsible for the entire class they teach, tutoring can come in handy for any student. Other helpful ideas for additional learning include group study sessions, group or paired quizzes, and group projects. Since teaching usually requires attention to be divided between more than one individual, these group learning ideas can help members of any class continue to learn while the teacher may be helping another student. They can also help class members continue to learn even after class is over.
