1 answer

I would recommend the following techniques for your cousin to try:

  1. SQ3R: This method (Survey, Question, Read, Recite, Review) helps students understand and retain information by encouraging them to actively engage with the material.

  2. Feynman Technique: This technique focuses on simplifying concepts by teaching the material to someone else or explaining it in simple terms. It promotes understanding through clarity and helps identify areas where the grasp of the subject is lacking.

  3. Cornell Method: This is a note-taking system that organizes information effectively so that students can review and recall information easily, which can be beneficial for comprehension and retention.

The Visual Method can also be useful but is not as structured as the other methods listed. It can be integrated into the other techniques for enhanced understanding.

Therefore, the best recommendations are SQ3R, Feynman, and Cornell.
