#studying method

assignments remaining: 136

I tried the blurting method for the very first time, so I want to give my feedback on it. I used it for an exam, and overall I'd give it a 5/10. I cant accurately weigh it because the topics on the exam were almost common knowledge, so I wont know how much it actually helped me. I do have to say that as someone with the memory of a goldfish, it was kind of hard to do but I used it alongside of fill in the blank questions I made myself. I have come to the realisation that I cannot memorise things that I do not understand. I may be able to remember them for a short period of time, but I always end up forgetting them over time. Another aspect I didn't enjoy was how time-consuming it was.

Okay, now, onto the stuff I did like about it. I definitely think it made me understand topics better, and it even made me remember the mistakes I would make, which ultimately helped me remember the topics. Since it was my first time, i knew that I wasn't utilising the method's full potential. Next time I use the blurting method, I'm going to pair it with rewriting notes (something that personally works just fine) and fill in the blank questions.

What is it?

Basically it’s sort of like a past paper. It’s a system where you put all the practice questions for any test in one place. If you find a topic a bit tricky, write a question about it to help you test your knowledge hem come back to it later to answer.

Best/ most effective ways of using this:

There are tons of useful resources for creating this! Some of my favs include Google Forms and Quizlet.

Google Forms — can create your own questions and customise them to your needs.

Quizlet — once you put all the terms in it automatically makes flash cards and questions for you.

Benefits?

So far, I've attempted this process with characters from the following media/fandoms: Warriors, SCP Foundation, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Red Versus Blue, and Lego Legends of Chima. I've had to adapt my strategy for Warriors and Chima characters. Basically, I need to invite anthro or human versions of Warriors characters to maintain my suspension of disbelief, and I need to pretend that I'm my Chimasona, Eosphorus the Climber, for the same reason, when I invite Chiman characters.

Anthro! Firestar, Brightheart, and Lionblaze; and Human! Hollyleaf, Whitestorm, and Cloudtail have been my favorite Warriors characters to invite.

Doctor Miller (The Volgun) has been my favorite character from the SCP universe to invite. I occasionally summon SCP-999 to cheer me up when I'm feeling down. Half the time, I feel like I've accidentally summoned SCP-___-J.

Alphonse Elric has been my favorite Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood character to invite. He's one of the characters I invite the most. He is one of my main fictional role models. I also frequently invite Van Hohenheim, Riza Hawkeye, Kain Fuery, and Izumi Curtis (not at the same time, obviously. I don't quite have the braincells for that).

Caboose is my favorite Red Versus Blue character, so it's no surprise that I often invite him. I also like to invite Simmons, Andersmith, Delta, and Agent Washington.

I have only tried to invite a few of my OCs: Fenris Aalto, Aira Beđarius Acus, Miles Laukkanen, Allison Achterburg, and Amund Eosphorus. I have asked each of them once so far. I have not tried to invite any of my fan characters. Fenris, Aira, and Amund declined my invitation, but Allison and Miles accepted it. They were both awesome.

Last-Student-Standing bet

A friendly competitive way of keeping up with college work and going out in the same friends date.

Materials:

fellow students (friends, colleagues or anyone who has work to be done but leaves ir for the last minute);

work (actually work, anything that has a deadline and one is petrified of doing it);

a comfortable place (with all you need to satisfy your desires for hours, including bathroom, food ans shelter) and;

FOOD (the most important).

How to play:

1. Gather the group of students in a place with all you need, can be a café, a park, the local library or someone's house.

2. Every player start with a bet. It can be a food they want in the café, a book, or a challenge that need to be payed if said student dont finish their task during the match (a match lasts for the whole day or until the stablishment chosen to play the bet closes). The bet price must match the student's choice of work/task. A small work/task can be rewarded with a small bet like an expresso, a cheap gift card or something else.

3. Once the timer starts every player gets to do their work. When a player finishes their work it has to pass the 'counsel of to-do tasks' where the other players check the finished-task-player's work and asses if they pass or not.

3.1 Once a work passes the 'counsel of to-do tasks', the player is free to bet another prize. The prize will be payed depending on the overall outcome of the match.
