yconic is the place where you can give and get the help you need for your life as a student. To help keep our community an enjoyable, helpful and safe place for all members, please adhere to the following guidelines.
1. Be nice to people. It's okay to provide constructive criticism, but there is no need to insult other members. For example, "X major is over-saturated right now. You might have trouble finding a job" is fine. "Your major is dumb. Have fun working in fast food," is not helpful nor appropriate.
2. Ask actual questions. If you're looking for help with something, titling a thread "HELP, I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO" isn't going to appeal to the members that may be best suited to help you. Be specific and title your post with relevant information.
3. Don't abuse the anonymous feature by pretending to be multiple people. Surprise, surprise, we know who posts what :)
4. Please only tag relevant interests when you create a new thread. Adding unrelated interests is unlikely to get you the help you're looking for and can frustrate other members.
5. Avoid spamming. This includes replying to your own thread for the sole purpose of moving it up the discussion feed.
6. Don't expose other people's personal information. If someone is posting anonymously, please respect their privacy.
7. If you see something you don't like, click the 'Report' button in the post menu and a moderator will review it. Please avoid commenting on inappropriate posts as this only encourages them.
8. Did a post help you? Click the "Was this post helpful?" button to help us recognize our most helpful members and so that other people will know the response was...you guessed it, helpful!
If you do not respect our guidelines, you may be temporarily or permanently banned from the yconic community.

I wanted to ask, how do you guys go about memorizing the great chunks of material in a class such as Sociology?
I am currently in the class and there is too much information to grasp (like 12 chapters for a m/c test :|)...Any tips? Do you guys review your work every week or something?
I read it until I can repeat it back to myself without looking at the notes. Reading it aloud helps me. I'm also a visual learner so drawing diagrams (where applicable) also helps me memorize concepts. Also I have a good memory. I only study for midterms/exams, but it's a good habit to review your work constantly. I just don't have the time to do that.
I usually make notes from my notes..
And while I'm making the notes, I will repeat it to myself 10 times or so, as many times as it takes to memorize it.
Then I'd move on to the next note.
Then go back at the end and recite it.
I'm a very visual learner.
When I close my eyes, I can remember where exactly on my notes I wrote it, so that helps.

+1 Making notes works like a charm.
Make a neat and tidy copy of your notes you took in class. Highlight the keywords and phrases and copy them several times to memorize those lines better. Then you're pretty much all set. And of course looking through the notes you've made before tests and exams would definitely help as well.

That really depends on how efficient you are and how good you are at paraphrasing things.
I've done it with almost a whole textbook.
If you know what key words to write down and what main points to write, you're good to go for almost any amount.
I don't know about sociology, but for chemistry and biology I focus on understanding the material first. If I don't know how the material works, how it's used, and how it all connects, then memorizing it becomes rather difficult. Not to mention many of the questions focus on understanding, memorizing just doesn't cut it.
Most importantly, while doing all of that, you must be focused. Don't study "with a friend" while talking about something else every other sentence. If you aren't completely focused, it's all a waste of time.

That would take forever.
I prefer to use my photographic memory.
whatever floats your boat.:bball:
When I make my notes I would use as many abbreviations as possible, and try to condense the whole paragraph into a few points. It works for me every time, as long as my notes are clear and concise.
