Student Ratings & Reviews
Very helpful study tips that I will definitely use from now on!
Amazing. Short but very informative
very interesting giving me knowledge on study skills I didn't know about before
The course was crucial and interesting as a GCSE student, enhancing my knowledge on study methods and reinstating the importance of active recall over passive techniques.
amazing!!
This really helped me understand what I was doing wrong in my revision. I normally re-read and make notes when revising so I understand the content but don't really know how to apply it in exams. I've learnt that doing practice and exam questions and making that my main revision method is more effective.
Yup very helpful
A great and insightful course.
Amazing! Helped me and my friends with our studying and gave us many options to help with our work.
I definitely think that it has allowed me to see the science behind the revision I was already doing and consolidated a lot of the information I had already previously learnt!
It was amazing, I feel so inspired now! Many thanks to Dr Siva and the Medic Mentor Team for the course!
It helped me understand what to do when studying and the since behind effective studying which was very interesting. It also guided me on when to study and why studying is important. Thank you for pointing out the direction for me Dr Siva!
It was honestly great, really helped me with the graphs and statistics backing up her research!
It was amazing in the way it was sequenced. First of all, it broke the emotional barriers to studying. Then after, it showed how you can study with a fool-proof and very well-researched plan.
very good and insightful in addressing what the best study techniques and the worst study techniques are.
I thought it was amazing as to how I can improve on my revision techniques through active recall and repetition. this module helped me realise the things I need to do to strengthen my neural pathways and build up my long term memory.
It really helped me rethink my study strategies
