Hey everyone! Following my post on How to Make Notes on a Laptop, I received another lovely ask to describe how I make notes for subjects that have lots of workings and diagrams (such as Maths)

Hello, On september 2nd, i got the news that my mom had passed away, because of that, i missed almost 2 and half weeks of class, i take 4 college classes and was wondering if you have any tips on getting back on track. I could really use motivation
I’m so sorry for your loss, sweetheart.
Here are some things you should do first:
Ask your teachers for advice: You can ask them for any hand outs you might have missed, ask them for practice tests, ask them what you can do to catch up, ask them to explain difficult bits after school,…
Ask friends/ classmates for their notes or help: If they don’t want to give your their notes, just ask them to explain things if your teachers don’t have time!
Read through your textbooks and start making summaries: If you’re pretty much alone on this one, start by annotating and summarising your textbooks. You’ll be able to study and learn on your own.

If you’ve ever taken a biology/anatomy/psych class, you’ve probably have some diagrams to memorize. I recently had an exam on brain structure in my bio psych class and I found that this method really helped me remember the diagrams and it didn’t take too long either!! Here’s what I did:
1. Print/Copy your diagrams. Should be pretty straight forward. It doesn’t have to be in color (chances are your exam isn’t either!). I’d recommend printing 2 copies
2. White out the labels. Go through and put a small sticky note or use some white out! I’d only do this one copy so you have the second one as a reference.
3. Number the parts you whited-out. This way you only have to use one copy instead of printing out multiple copies! Copy the numbers on the second copy you printed (this is now your key!)
4. Fill it out. Practice filling out the diagram on a separate piece of paper. I like to first copy the labels, and then try it from memory the second time around.
5. Correct your labels. Go through with a contrasting color and check your work! re-write correct answers next to anything you got wrong. I like using a bright/different color because it helps me remember the label!
6. Practice!! Nothing’s going to help you more than practicing your diagram. I would go over the diagram at least 5 times (or more if you haven’t gotten them all down yet). Try practicing the diagrams or filling in the numbers in random orders.
For reference, here’s how I usually do it!:
Good luck to everyone, and happy memorizing :)
