I do agree with what you said Zaetus. That has helped me a lot in retaining information in my college courses. I used to feel so bad about myself for not being able to retain some information but I realized that it's kinda normal especially when there's plenty of new material to learn. This was something I learned about my research class that I just recently took. I initially freaked out about how poorly I was doing so I emailed my professor about how I could do better and learn all of these new concepts.This was exactly one of the things she advised me and it worked. I ended up doing much better in that course and feeling better about my learning ability. Yeah, going over the material more than once definitely helps, at least for me, and hopefully for others as well. Also, I'm still currently searching for other helpful methods in learning so any other advice would definitely help!
