Learning

Yesterday, I was thinking about how I learn, and it seems that I tend not to do well when the teacher uses power points. (Well, unless the power points are all pictures and graphs). It actually really helps to see the words being written out. I think it's because of how memories actually get stored. Seeing things being written out gets the words related to a motion of writing that one is already familiar with. That's also why writing down notes helps instead of just getting a copy of the notes. The notes gets put in muscle memory as well as visual memory, and it helps when recalling the memories. And that's why I think I should get a tablet next.
