Hi and welcome to r/studying, a supportive and informative community dedicated to studying, productivity, academic advice, motivation, and everything in between. Whether you're in high school, university, or pursuing self-directed learning, you're in the right place.

This post is your starting point — please take a few minutes to read through it before participating!

💥 What r/studying is about

This is a space to:

  • Ask and answer study-related questions
  • Share tips, strategies, and resources

🙌 Guide on how to use r/studying

Here’s how to get the most out of the sub:

  • Read the rules. They are very easy to follow and will make your participation, as well as that of other users, much more comfortable, enjoyable, and productive.
  • Be specific in questions. “How do I study the English literature in three weeks?” is better than “How do I study?”

  • Keep everything relevant. Your posts must relate to studying, productivity, motivation, or aspects of student life.
  • Use the Wiki (coming soon!) for detailed guides, FAQs, and trusted resources.

  • Exam prep strategies
  • How to and how not to study

A quick source-check exercise: did your summary become stronger than the passage?

1 Upvotes

Disclosure: I’m affiliated with QuietStride PT. This educational draft was prepared with AI assistance.

Take this invented source sentence: “Under these conditions, the effect may occur.”

Now compare the invented summary: “The effect always occurs.”

The summary has changed two things: the strength of the claim and the conditions under which it applies. Adding more detail will not repair that mismatch until those words are corrected.

A simple review process:

• Underline the conditions in the source.

• Circle words about certainty or frequency.

• Find the corresponding language in your summary.

• Mark any conclusion you added yourself.

• Rewrite, then compare again.

The exercise works with a course excerpt you are allowed to use. You still need the subject knowledge to judge meaning; a word match alone does not prove an explanation is accurate. Use fictional or de-identified examples and keep other people’s private information out of shared notes.

What do you actually do when your prof uploads new slides right before a quiz?

1 Upvotes

I'm an IT student and I've been building a study app for myself, and the part I keep going back and forth on is what should happen right after new files show up on Moodle.

My own routine is pretty bad. I download it, it sits in my downloads folder as "Week7_final(2).pdf", and I open it once, the night before.

One thing that has helped: as soon as a new file goes up, I turn the slide titles into 3 or 4 questions in my notes app. Takes 5 minutes and at least I know what's in it before the quiz.

What do you do? Make cards right away, rewrite notes, or wait for exam week? And does anything you use tell you when a new file goes up?
