October Architecture :3

we had to make 3 conceptual models for our design, i woke up early to finished all and it was a fail at first :") but! i got to get back anw, and made 2 concept design (accidentally xD) approved by my prof.

MIDTERMS IS COMING!!

it will be very busy and stressful! i try to balance everything with time management, affirm myself with positive things, and make sure i am in my maximum capicity to pass.

its very important to check up on yourself as well, especially during difficult times. slacking and falling off is common to happen, so i hope everyone will stay focus and take time to self-reflect too (walking alone for 10 mins is ok!)

gl everyone !! <33

how to take better notes during fast-paced lectures

taking better notes during fast-paced lectures can be challenging, but here are some tips to help you keep up:

abbreviations and symbols: create a personal shorthand system. for example, use “w/” for “with,” “b/c” for “because,” and arrows (→) to show relationships. this can significantly speed up your note-taking.

focus on main ideas: listen for key points and concepts rather than trying to transcribe everything. lecturers often emphasize important information through repetition, changes in tone, or visual aids. pay attention to these cues.

structured methods:

cornell method: divide your page into three sections: a narrow left column for cues, a wider right column for notes, and a bottom section for a summary. during the lecture, jot down main points in the right column. after the lecture, add cues and a summary.

outline method: use headings and subheadings to organize information hierarchically. this helps in understanding the relationship between topics.

mind mapping: create a visual representation of the lecture content. start with a central idea and branch out with related concepts. this method is particularly useful for visual learners.

leave space: if you miss something, leave a gap and move on. you can fill in the details later, either from the textbook, recordings, or discussions with classmates.

record the lecture: if your lecturer allows it, recording can be a lifesaver. you can listen to the lecture again to fill in any gaps in your notes. just make sure to review the recording soon after the lecture while the material is still fresh in your mind.

review and revise: go over your notes as soon as possible after the lecture. this helps reinforce the material and allows you to clarify any points you didn’t fully understand. consider rewriting or typing up your notes to organize them better.

active listening: engage with the lecture by asking questions and participating in discussions. this not only helps you understand the material better but also makes it easier to remember.

use technology: apps like evernote, onenote, or notability can help you organize and search your notes efficiently. some apps even allow you to record audio and sync it with your notes.

do you have any specific challenges with note-taking? let me know in the comments.

no, bcos we need to stop learning about how to start a conversation. i can have hours and hours of conversation with someone, but my energy gets burnt out easily. we a need a book about "how not to talk people, but how to balancr your energy"

how it feel to write your thoughts in a diary so as not to go crazy
