The Stanford iTunesU classes have been truncated to a few seconds. So Susanna Braund's Aeneid course (which was brilliant) is gone. Same thing with their Hannibal course. I don't know that they're available elsewhere. Apple dropped iTunesU (2021?) and Stanford didn't have a backup.
If anyone responsible for the site's CSS happens to see this, the fixed height in pixels of #header causes the nav bar links to be partially obscured making them more difficult to click. My current window's width is 1600.
There are so many things I wish I had time to learn about. I don't need my learning resources, I need a way to jack in and have them uploaded to my brain.
Do you wish you had time to learn about them? Or do you wish you just knew them? Having them uploaded to your brain might make you know about them, but is much different from having time to learn them. This is important if for you, like for me, learning itself is a large part of the enjoyment
Very good tips.. I always mess up when doing spaced repetition since I don't take notes, I try to re-read the whole previous material in the book again and I get demotivated that I have to read all that so that I remember all the previous material. Do you know a way to get out of this habit?
All these things presume actual interest and savviness about the topic present in the student beforehand, which is precisely what most students that struggle with studies lack.
- lots of low-stakes quizzing and practice
- spaced repetition
- reflect on what you've learned and what you could do better next time, and apply these lessons in different contexts
- interleave practice of different but related topics
- try to solve a problem before being taught the solution
- distill the underlying principles to different problems
- remember that if learning is easy, you probably aren't engaging you brain very much
This will help streamline the process, but obviously there's just a limit to what you can take in.
^^ Good resource for textbooks
