History subject depends primarily on understanding:
It has been deposited in the minds of the students that most of the subjects depend mainly on memorization and this is a wrong image. The evidence for this is do you remember the past events in your life and the lives of your families. Because you wrote them down in diaries or because you coexisted with them and absorbed their events!! This is also the case, for example, in the subject of history. We will comprehend its events and confirm them with memorization. It is not correct to memorize anything without understanding it. Otherwise we will become like a machine that if you order it to destroy itself, it will not hesitate. You are a person who understands and feels, not a machine.
And the question? It is studying how to start a correct manner?
- Don't get distracted by just one source:
- Many students are hesitant while studying. As they study the lesson from several books and a lieutenant at the same time, so their eyes become scattered among all these papers. Which leads to wasting their time and not understanding anything.
- For this, dear student, while studying a lesson in history, you have to study in one book or one binding and do not look at anything else to help you focus.
- Do not always forget when studying any part to re-read it from the textbook because the question formula in the exam is taken from it and understanding the question is considered the correct beginning of the answer.
- Always write what I remember in the form of titles for easy review.
- Remember, dear student, that achieving demands is not wishful thinking, but it takes the world by storm.
- Use all your senses to study:
- God has honored man with many senses (seeing - hearing - speaking - understanding - remembering). Despite that, the student neglects all of this and does not try to benefit from it. It is possible to take advantage of all these senses while studying.
- Read the part that you will study in full twice, once by eye only until you absorb it, and the second time in an audible voice and calmly without rushing until the subject settles in your mind through (pronunciation - eye - hearing - understanding).
- Divide the topic into small parts, then read it as well as for the first time, and then rewrite what you read in an external paper several times, so that you will never forget, God willing.
