Learning strategies and techniques

Here you will find suggestions for various learning strategies.

Your past experience should always be relevant when selecting a new method: What strategies have you used so far? (If you have never formulated this before, you should try it in keywords).

Furthermore, the method should of course also fit the subject matter: is it more about memorising or about understanding and linking complex relationships? For more complex methods (such as the loci method), time must be planned for learning the method.
