Notes

Some students don’t know how to make notes, even if they are well attentive during lectures, they fail to make notes.
For students who fail to make notes for whatever reasons, here’s a tip for them.
When students sit to study they can point on a particular topic. students should try to make points and sub-points of the concept they are understanding or learning. Students only need to put the important points and not write full sentences.
Students can even highlight some points, or try to change the font or color of the topics and subtopic according to their importance.
Another thing students can do is, either ask their classmates or even seniors to share their notes. Homework help can play a crucial role in their life.
Studying from notes makes it easier to remember and understand the content.
1. Practise
Practicing is very important to understand or learn something.
If the subject is logical like mathematics, physics, chemistry, or statistics, then the students need regular practice in order to keep the concepts in mind.
Theoretical subjects can gobble up but for the logical and practical subject, students need to practice as there is no other way to remember and understands concepts.
Even for theoretical subjects’ students can easily remember the content if they follow the practice of writing things down. The more times the students write, a particular topic the chances of remembering the topic increases exponentially.
Students should make it their habit to devote a certain time to every subject after the official class to practice whatever is taught every day, this way things won’t get piled up and it would become easy for them to learn new things the very next day.
Also, when practicing and re-reading content, students can test their understanding of the subject or the topic, and in case they do not understand something they can ask or consult their teacher or mentor the very next day.

If students work hard on assignments naturally it means that they have understood the concept which will benefit them while preparing for the final examination.
Also, sometimes assignments that are given to students are in form of certain questions and answers. Where questions are given to students and they have to find and write answers from books.
