To review material in a structured and effective way, spend a few minutes reviewing the material immediately after the learning session. This helps you to:
- confirm that you understand the material
- reduce the time needed to relearn information when you need it, and
- improve the quality of future learning, by building on a well-remembered foundation. This helps your mind to make connections and linkages that it would not otherwise make.
A good way of carrying out this review is to rewrite or tidy up notes.
