So, I just read the article that Elan Vital posted in "Everything You Thought You Knew About Learning Is Wrong". I suggest you look into it, but it's not necessary.

It spurred me to ask everyone how they study? What do you find affective? Do you have a routine?

I'm currently in the middle of studying right now! I have a midterm coming up, and this time I bought a note book. I'm studying in an abandoned classroom way far out of the way on campus, under one of the furthest res buildings. I've been here most of the day, with the exception of food. I've been writing my way through my notes in notes, rewriting them into this book in a organized fashion (first 5 pillars of islam, then a political timeline, then the calendar and holidays, ext), highlighting key terms in blue, and important points in pink. I'm going to bring it to a study group on Monday!

Usually though I just re-read my notes, and my readings or at least skim them, and pray for the best

Similar thing for essays: I write out a bunch of points and point form some quotes I like, then throw them to the side and write the essay! lol

So what are your study habits like? What works for you?
