Hey @Sufiyaan
I haven’t experienced the LPC specifically, but I’ve included below general tips that I consistently used and have worked for me. I hope you find some of them useful too.
Organise notes by topic or theme: As you take notes, structure them by topic or key themes. This organisation will make it easier to find specific information later and see how different ideas connect.
Review and revise notes regularly: Set aside time soon after each lecture to review and revise your notes. This helps reinforce what you learned while the information is still fresh, and allows you to fill in any gaps or clarify points that may seem unclear.
Use active recall techniques: Instead of passively reading through notes, actively quiz yourself on the material. This could be as simple as covering up sections and testing yourself or creating flashcards. Active recall is proven to boost retention and deepen understanding.
Summarise each lecture: At the end of each lecture or study session, write a brief summary in your own words. This reinforces key takeaways and helps you solidify your understanding of the material.
Utilise visual aids: If there are complex concepts, try creating diagrams, charts, or mind maps to visually represent information. Visual aids can make it easier to understand relationships between ideas and retain complex information.
Set specific study goals: Before each study session, define what you aim to accomplish. This keeps you focused and helps manage your time effectively. For example, set a goal to understand a specific concept or review a certain section of notes.
Incorporate breaks: Taking short breaks during study sessions can improve focus and prevent burnout. Use techniques like the Pomodoro method (25 minutes of focused work followed by a 5-minute break) to stay energised and productive.
Teach back the material: Try explaining what you've learned to someone else or even to yourself as if you were teaching it. Teaching is a powerful way to reinforce knowledge, identify gaps, and build confidence in the material.
Apply knowledge to real-world examples: If possible, connect what you're learning to practical or real-world situations. This makes the information more meaningful and easier to remember by grounding it in real applications.
Hope this helps!
