1. When you want to remember something you...
Have to do it yourself.
Have to write it down somewhere, preferably some body part.
Just read it or look at it, it'll be there forever.
Try to relate it to something or some greater pattern.
2. Midterms are coming up and you totally forgot (or skipped) the World History review session. In the essay section you try to think up something to write and you say:
Every date, historical person of importance, place and event that's relevant.
Something about the inevitability of war or the forces at work behind them. Something vague but interesting...
Patterns that occur in history, like similarities in large social changes between economic classes.
About the quality of life in colonial america, and how practical concerns and practices governed rulership and economics.
3. Your favorite teacher is the one who:
doles out the info so that I can spit it out on the test and earn my perfectly boring 'A'.
Gets the class super involved in the material of what we're studying.
Is philosophical and talks more about generalities than specifics.
Goes over the material several times - I really get a hold of it then.
4. How about your favorite subject?
Definately art, shop, or something involving crafts.
Programming, music (or theory) or math.
Philosophy, religion or anything in the humanities.
Don't really have a favorite, but am pretty good at anything.
5. You find you learn something best when you're:
thinking about it.
Don't really have to worry about that....
At work, in another class, or excersizing.
Doing it over and over again.
