One Thing I've Seen People Say Is Take Quick Notes In Class, Then Rewrite Them. Gets It Into Your Brain.

One thing I've seen people say is take quick notes in class, then rewrite them. Gets it into your brain. Makes it neat. Allows you to organize the information. Asking questions to the notes is another great way to retain information.

Also, in terms of study methods, figure out what study system works best. I work well with short timers. Other people might not.

HOW TO HAVE A SUCCESSFUL SCHOOL YEAR (tips from a college graduate)

Use a planner

Use a calendar and write all your tasks, tests and deadlines. That way you have an overview and you’ll be able to focus on your deadlines for this week.

Take a look at your subjects before class

Every course has a different study method. If you have language courses, you need to memorize a lot of new words and make a lot of grammar exercises. If you have math courses, you need to make a lot of exercises. Know which study method you use for every course.

Sit in front of the class

You’ll be surrounded by people that take their classes seriously and you’ll be able to pay more attention and take notes, which means you’ll pass your exam. The people in the back are mostly talking during class and you would be distracted from them.

Take notes and reread them

You don’t have to make a summary of every course. All you need to do is go to class, take notes and read them every time before class. What you see in your class is what you’ll see on your exam. That way, you study smarter not harder.

Active learning is better than passive learning

The biggest mistake I’ve made is reading, highlighting and making a summary and calling it “studying”. All you need to do is read your notes, understand the material, make exercises and revise. It’s called active studying.

Ask questions to your professors

Don’t be shy to ask questions. Your professors will be happy to help you and they will see that you’re a student that takes it seriously. Also, don’t hesitate to ask questions to your fellow students. They would like to help you.

Study location and study with me videos

Find a place where you can study well. It could be in your room at your desk, in a library or on campus. Avoid studying on your bed because it will make you sleepy. Also, watching study with me videos will help you to avoid distractions.

Don’t be too hard on yourself

The point of studying is to gain knowledge, not to stress yourself out. Don’t forget to take breaks, get enough sleep and have a lot of fun! It’s all about balance. Enjoy the process. School will be over before you know it!

The joy of song.

After reading a few posts, I identify it as Watson. Watson is the reason it's a phenomenon. I'd say uniquely to a lot of mystery solving type things, they are partners, and uniquely, Watson is the narrator, not Sherlock, not an anonymous 3rd force. There's something so compelling about the connection between Watson and Holmes, about the validity of Holmes' nature through Watson's view.

Does anyone have any thoughts about why Sherlock Holmes is such a phenomenon? I mean, the first book was written in the late Victorian era, and there are still new adaptions coming out every year, with hundreds in total! BBC Sherlock was obviously part of the Superwholock 'big three' trifecta, and Sherlock Holmes/John Watson has consistently ranked in the top 100 most popular ships on AO3 for years! Even the stuffy Victorian wore black armbands to protest the death of Sherlock Holmes! I mean, how did this happen?! How did a London doctor who wrote in his spare time create one of the world's largest and longest-running phenomenons, who he hated? What is it about Sherlock Holmes that strikes chords in so many across such time and space?

Idk, I've been thinking about it a lot lately, and I'd love to discuss it and hear your thoughts!
