How to RememberAll that Stuff Prepared for Plant Physiology Works for any class
Organize the Information • Arrange in units • Understand relationships • Then memorize details
Memorize This • 15 Dots • Position • Color • Letter • Letter orientation • View • Take notes • Reproduce (Quiz)
Describe what you saw • Dot position? • Letters? • Letter orientation? • Colors?

Easy to • Understand relationship • Memorize the details • Describe • To yourself (notes, studying) • To others • On a test
Get the order right • Start with simple relationships • Cause Phenomenon Consequences • Light Stomatal opening Photosynthesis • Write out all important relationships • Then combine relationships
Map out complex relationships • Annotate diagrams • Light, photosynthesis, stomatal opening • Nouns first, then verbs Light Level controls controls controls Photosynthesis Stomatal RateOpening Ci controls
Communicate • Write it down (diagrams) • Explain it to others • Tests require you to communicate • Communicating to others increases • Understanding (yours and theirs) • Retention of information • Interpersonal skills
Do these things and… • You will learn a valuable skill • You will save time • You will do better in the course • You will remember things longer • The course will be more interesting • Your life will be more interesting
