In the past, I often found it hard to remember what I learned in class. So I decided to memorize more knowledge and make small progress each week. Here are some useful methods.
I learnt how to take notes by writing down key words in class. Instead of copying every word the, I created mind maps for important points to make them easier to remember.
Another method was to go over my class notes regularly. I practised recalling each part of the lesson until I could remember it well. This helped me find out which parts I needed to work on the most.
Finally, I tried to link new knowledge with old knowledge. Knowledge is like a chain, and new knowledge is best remembered by linking it with old knowledge. The more links we create, the more we remember.
I followed all these methods and took things step by step. As a result, I have already made satisfying progress.
