Most Valuable Technique Ch. 8

Chapter eight talks about the three different R's that can help a student retain information. I think if we apply those three R's to our studying habits, no matter what the subject is in school, it can help a lot. A method that helps me a lot to remember information I'm learning would be talking about it with another person or relating it to myself. Talking about it with another person helps me retain information better because I put it in a format of a conversation or little story. Words I might say later remind me of what the conversation was all about. When I relate information to me, its easier to keep it in my brain because its natural for me to remember because it has to do with me. Everyone is interested in themselves one way or another so its easy to remember. I also have a tendency of cramming a lot of information into one day because I have "homework days" where I get all my work done. In those days I get a lot done so its only natural for me to cram a lot of information at once. That's is a tendency I have to try and stop, and hopefully find another method that is more helpful and convenient for my learning.
