Study Techniques For Biology

For this class I'm looking for different ways to learn and study using a variety of study methods. Some people like studying with visuals while others study better by reading and writing.  Some like peace and quiet while others need music playing in the background. There are three different styles of study techniques; visual, auditory and tactile.

This is an anatomy of a study session. Research states that you need to prepare your mind by clearing your thoughts, closing your eyes, breathing deeply and relaxing. Then by "begin with the end in mind" they are saying you should take a moment to set some goals for what you will learn.
One study technique is learning a song;

Another Technique is watching videos;

Students learn in many ways, like seeing, hearing, and experiencing things first hand. But for most students, one of them is their favorite. I prefer visuals. For example, visual learning students will sometimes struggle during essay exams, because they can't recall test material that was "hear" in a lecture. However, if the visual learning uses a visual aid when studying, like a colorful outline of test materials, he or she may retain more information. For this type of learning, visual tools improve the ability to recall information more completley. A simple explanation of learning styles is this: Some students remember best materials they've seen, some remember things they've heard, while others remember things they've experience.
