The Return of the Jedi

It's been far too long!
Sorry for the late post, currently in my second week of the semester and I've already got assignments and final projects in hand =..=

Like I've promised, this post will be on how the studying system of mine works.. :D

Enjoy it in 10 easy steps...(well, not so easy XD)



1.       Always sit next to a person who is smart/atleast know a lot (studies frequent/gets it when lecturer is teaching)

2.       Do pay attention in class (taking notes is preferable). And yeah.. It’s good to understand. If you don’t, ask the lecturer/your smart guy next to you.

3.       When you really can’t understand something, TAKE NOTES.

4.       Take the rest of the day off, enjoy yourself (for me, it’s all gaming).

5.       Seriously, don’t open books. Unless someone asks for your help. Do help them. (helping someone, means you do research, means you are technically studying, also means you understand it better by explaining it to them)
“If you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it well enough” – Albert Einstein

6.       Homework, do it. Not necessarily immediately, but always do your homework. The nearer it is to the due date, the more inspirational you’ll become (or else you’re getting writer’s block. It also means you’re dead). 

7.       Do your work as simple as possible but ALWAYS submit a high quality end of work eventhough it is made 3 hours before due.
“I will always choose a lazy person to do a difficult job because he will find an easy way to do it.” – Bill Gates

8.       If you want to do something right, do it YOURSELF. Even if it is a team work, see the kind of people you are working with. If you really want to do it right, DIY. (Asks the team if they are really enthusiastic to do it, then they should be fine teammates. Whichever you prefer best)

9.       Doing a long term project can be overwhelming to be done at the last minute. After given, ALWAYS prepare the intro of the project (what is it mainly about). When you’re stuck, don’t force it. Chillax and take a break.
“It is no good getting furious if you get stuck. What I do is keep thinking about the problem but work on something else. Sometimes it is years before I see the way forward. In the case of information loss and black holes, it was 29 years.” – Stephen Hawking

10.   ALWAYS, always provide a REASON, not goal, a reason why you are studying. As for me, I’ve never like studying, and if it was possible, I wouldn’t be studying at all. Like I said, I’ve got my own reason why I’m studying and you should make one to as a stepping stone.

Well, these are the basics to my studying guide, I've never failed a subject before. It's up to you students to study like these, but I must warn you. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK! Because this is not completely foolproof.
