It is possible to understand
a lesson in class and forget it sooner than expected. However, you can put
measures in place to change this narrative. The following are worth-noting:
1. Revisit the lesson at
the appropriate time.
2. Don't forget to put
whatever you have learnt (from the lesson) into practice in the day. You can do
this alone or with other students. Remember, practice makes perfect.
3. Discuss the lessons
with friends. Sometimes, discussions stick better than individual studies.
4. Research and study
more on whatever has been treated in a lesson. There is nothing like "too
much" knowledge. You can hardly forget whatever you teach yourself.
5. Break the lessons into
areas of need and interest. The truth is that not every part of the lesson
might be needful and interesting to you every day. As you divide the lesson
into areas of need and interest, never miss out on your areas of interest.
6. Endeavour to study the
previous lessons. They will help you have better understanding of the present
and subsequent lessons as some lessons are continuations of others.
7. Don't
"swallow" the lessons hook, line and sinker. Ask questions and seek
clarifications where and when necessary.
8. Don't be shy to put to
use the "strange" things learnt.
9. Teach your children,
friends or siblings even if you think you do not need the lessons
personally. Like what you teach yourself, what you teach others hardly
evaporates.
10. Engage your teacher
and classmates in a discussion as regards the topic. Extract relevant questions
from the lesson (during your study time) for further discussion in the next
class. This will make the teacher to unravel more facts about the lesson (or
topic).
