Revision revision revision!

I feel it would be remiss of me to not show you what I'm filling my days with. My revision technique of choice is the good old mind-map, as we can see on the bottom. It condenses things down into easy-to-manage chunks, and you get to play with wallpaper and felt-tip pens, and I usually stick them on my wall so I can keep reading them. At the moment I'm working on a European film module, so the top left are some of the films I'm working on, the middle is flash-cards for my French vocab (useful for flicking through on buses and in random five minute gaps), and the top right is a pile of journal articles I'm currently ploughing through. All these little techniques will (I hope) contribute to some decent exam grades! - Lucy
Well at least you have mapped it out which does help. Good luck

I wish my students were as dedicated as you! Perhaps they will be when they are older and concentrating on an area they choose to specialise in :) Great shot. YOu are very busy.

Wish I could get more of my students to engage in this kind of activity. Looks really impressive!

@witchyjacq Thanks Jacqui - I love these mind maps and flash cards. The flash cards especially, just making them helps you to learn, and they're always there for that bus journey or a spare five minutes - Lucy

@dolphin Thank you Molly. I've been learning this way ever since school, and I think it is something that works for you the more you practise it. A lot of people say they don't get on with mind maps, but I was made to do them a lot by one of my tutors who used them for every single topic, so now they really work for me! - Lucy

@bkbinthecity Thank you, I think it's strange to see the inner workings of my brain on a piece of wallpaper - Lucy

@monkeykid Thank you Therese. I think it's one of those things that makes sense to me, but probably not to everyone else! - Lucy
