Hi everyone,
In undergrad, I took a Learning & Memory course as part of my neuroscience requirement. The professor was gracious enough to make this the required reading the second week of class. To this day (almost 5 years later), I apply these very principles and recommendations by the Institute of Education Sciences anytime I am studying.
I found this to be the most important week of class in undergrad because it applied to every class I would take. I share this often with students who are struggling, and seeing all these "how to I improve my grades" threads, I thought many pre-meds (and med students for that matter) would benefit. It kills me to see bright students perform poorly because they didn't know how to effectively study.
I really benefited from reading notes before class, constantly quizzing myself, and asking deep questions (I think this was most important).
Hope this helps some of you 😎
