The careful use of lecture videos could help people study more efficiently (高效地), said by researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA).

According to a new study,     1     even better. Watching lecture videos at an increased speed more than once may even lead to improved learning and higher test scores compared to watching once at normal (正常的) speed.

The study, done by UCLA’s Department of Psychology, put students into groups and asked them to watch lecture videos at different speeds without taking notes.     2    

The test results showed little difference in scores between students who watched the videos at normal speed and those who watched at up to double speed——    3     It means that students can save half of the time when watching videos.

    4     Because students who watched videos at two-and-a-half times the normal speed had lower test results. It was also found that watching the videos twice at double speed produced higher test scores compared to students who watched the videos just once at normal speed.

9 . Many students are afraid of taking examinations, but they are an important part of the educational experience. Students must keep studying for many years in order to be prepared for different exams. And they should cultivate study skills in their learning because these skills can help them in all of their courses.

One of the most important and simplest ways to prepare for exams is to have all classes and to take notes on lectures (讲座) and discussions. For effective (有效的) studying, however, these notes must be meaningful. Students should not write down everything that they hear, but some key words and phrases that will remind them of the topics that were discussed. By focusing on the most important topics of the lecture or discussion in their note­taking, students will improve their understanding of the lesson.

While memory is an important part of studying, students should also try to improve their understanding of the main ideas in their courses. Before each text, students should look over the materials to get a general sense of the information that they are expected to learn. Next, students should think about the questions, trying to guess what they will be expected to learn. Then students read the text carefully, looking for the answers to the questions. For the fourth step, students recite (背诵) what they have learned. Finally, students must review the materials.

Time management skills are another necessary part of effective studying. Many students simply review before the exams. But this can limit long­term memories because students can easily forget the information they have put in their short­term memories. Studying is a long process.
