Sitting at the desk for several hours can be daunting with
having the idea of remembering certain dates, famous people, places or past
events in history. Cramming the night
before a test can take its toll on the human brain. Lack of sleep, hunger deprivation, and losing
control of our own reality are some of the consequences that come behind procrastination. Most do an amazing job when it comes to
projects or in class assignments, but somehow cannot seem to retain information
that they have learned in the last couple of sessions. A very effective way of studying without the
worry of having to actually put hours cramming or researching information is to
put together some sort of game involving information from what the test is
actually going to contain. Contents in
the game are very important because they are the foundation of what you are going
to learn, and is vital to how well you are going to do on the test. This is effective because you are focusing on
the challenge of winning not retaining the information, so in return you are relieving yourself of all the stress
that you would get from actually focusing on the material you are try to
retain. In classroom activity, I found
myself remembering the information that was included within the game
questions. The more we played, the
broader my mind processed everything and was more focused on getting points on
the board. In my opinion, I think this
tactic should be experienced in every course and within every major so that
students can get the best out of their experience in college. I found this activity to be truly affective
because that material within the book is a bit repetitive and dry so one can
lose their interest in the material very quickly.
