I can't by-heart things till now.......

I have seen a few friends of mine...full time they will be mugging up things. They will vomit even a comma in their answer sheets, no doubt. But will they benefited for long term??? I doubt so. Such things will fade very soon from their memory, sure

Mugging up is not a good habit preparing our own writing may helpful and can earn more marks.

Yeah, I know such people mug up the commas and full stops too. But give them something original and different thing to understand and they will fail!!! In fact what they are doing cannot be called learning.

Due to lack of interest they will mug the things and forget in the exams.

But I have to agree..they do a lot of hard work to do so :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I feel, if we understand its meaning, we can memorize it easily. It will need only half effort of mugging up. Isn't it?
I am saying it from my experiences. Actually, many students really have conquered the art of mugging up :cheer: :cheer:

If I can't understand something, I will leave that portion or chapter and concentrate on what I can understand. Why to put a lot of effort on things that we can't do. Isn't it???? :cheer: :cheer:

True that it does involve some hard work to memorize it all, but is a single thought given to whether it is really a long-term learning or understand the concept??? So instead of taking efforts to understand, why are those diverted to not understand and simply memorize that we will forget it all the moment exams are over?

that's the reason why many students struggle after completing their studies. Even after getting above 95% marks in professional subjects, they just follow other people's step and try just to earn 5-6 digit salary. In some case, We may be surprised seeing their academic marks, but when we see them posted in small companies or so, we will think, "What really went wrong?""

Actually, till now, I have seen education/learning to know something new, that I have never learnt before. I never keep targets in mind to earn a high job or high salary. I am learning only for my mental pleasure and to increase my level of self confidence and knowledge

hahah, it is really fascinating to see these by-heart people attempting exams. If the question is twisted or of a comma is emitted, they panic in the hall itself and then they resort to easier means: copying.

In my school and college before one hour of the examination, i would gather these 'by-heart' friends and make them understand the whole subject by giving them points.

I feel very happy when my friends come out with pasing marks. There is one such friend by name Roy,He consistently failed in all exams and when it came to finals, i coached him just 2 hours before exam. When the result came out, i was overwhelmed that he passed (he got 45/100, usually he would get 20/100,passing marks is 35/100)

How is your coaching?
Just by-hearting them or make them understand what they are learning?
Which method?????

I would make them understand the topic relating to something they like.

I did the same teaching my students when i was lecturer. Most of my students has businesses and also they had good pocket money. To make them understand the process, i would relate them to something they like.

for example to explain the economic order quantity , i would relate them to our mothers asking us to buy groceries when the grocery in our home is just about to finish. I would tell them that when sugar quantity is very low in the box, then our mom will tell us to buy sugar.

On other instance, i explained project planning and control on how they perform 'daawat' (yeah, my students were muslims) like how they check the number of people attending, the quantity of food to be prepared, the plates,etc. This enabled me to put an example on what they did so that the concept can be understood well.

Actually, if I have to by-heart it....for example, some formulas or points to be remembered, I just find its relation with another thing which I use frequently. ..may be similarity in the word too. Very often it works for me in exam halls. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Nice technic applied.

If we can't understand what we are learning, it is not going to help us in any way in future, except gaining a few marks more. That's why our Indian educational system is deteriorating.

Let me pull this thread up by adding a few points....

It takes only a less time to understand something and keep it ever in memory than bi-hearting. also, just link it with some real life examples. It will help you to understand it better. Also, by this method, we never forget it easily

Mostly i don't mug up anything >understanding the things and i will write in my own words like you. But if required i will mug up certain things like poem , equation etc. i don't have any problem.

Its better first go through the text and then understand it properly and then attempt to write something.It helps to invent new words.Memorize won't work always.

Cramming or mugging up things is not good at any level its always better to understand the things and make it easier for you to understand it this way you can learn things better. :)

I neither can by-heart or will suggest anyone to do it.. Because though we can make over in exam in real we don't acquire knowledge by doing so.. :)

Absolutely When I was in 4th standard I mugged up essay of "The Picnic" and I got excellent in it but literally I did not know what I wrote in it. :evil:
