• On the back, tell us something interesting about
yourself… tell us something you are passionate
about, something you did this summer, anything
that comes to mind.

Discussions:
• Students are to read the assigned journal articles prior to the in
class discussion.
• Small groups of students (assigned by the faculty) will discuss
each article with the aim of answering certain questions.
• Students who have not read the assigned article may not
participate in the discussion.
• A discussion report with the answers to each question is to be
printed and turned in by each group at the class period
following the discussion.
• The format for the discussion report is available as a Word
document on the course website, as well as a link to a PDF of
each article for discussion.

How can I learn everything?
19
• Study regularly… do not depend on cramming.
There is too much material to hope to learn it at one time. Cramming
does not lead to long-term memory.
• Repetition, repetition and repetition… did I mention repetition?
Neural connections are strengthened by repeated activation.
• Test yourself… do not just reread notes.
Active learning is more effective than passive learning.
• Teach others… do not just reread notes.
Active learning is more effective than passive learning.
• Turn off ALL distractions when you study… yes, music, TV,
email, phone and facebook.
Numerous studies have shown this to be true.
![Page 20: Development of the Nervous System: Cellular & Molecular ...mcloonlab.neuroscience.umn.edu/4100/Lectures/N4100 lecture 01.pdf · • Development of the Nervous System 3rd edition by](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022060521/605090641ced633efc1d8d39/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
How can I learn everything?
20
• Take handwritten notes during lecture.
A recent study showed that students who took handwritten
notes during lecture had better recall of the material than those
who took notes on a computer or who just listened.
• Review the most difficult material just before going to bed.
The transfer of short-term memory to long-term memory takes
place during sleep.
• Get a full night sleep every night… really!
Again, the transfer of short-term memory to long-term memory
takes place during sleep. [A recent study showed that blocking
REM sleep in mice prevented memory consolidation (Boyce et
al., 2016, Science 352:812).]

How can I learn everything?
21
• Exercise regularly.
Cell division in the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus is
required for certain types of long-term memory, and exercise
increases cell division in this region and improves memory.
• Eat a balanced diet.
The brain requires energy and a full complement of basic
molecules to function and build neural circuits; these can only
come from a balanced diet.
• Shoot your television!
If you normally watch 2 hours of television per night, then
dropping television would give you an additional 14 hours per
week or 224 hours for the semester.

How can I learn everything?
22
• Active learning wins!
Write notes or notecards.
Make drawings (from memory).
Give lectures.
Discuss the material.
Take practice exams.

How can I learn everything?

• In previous years, the students with the top grades in the
course often studied together regularly.
