Study Tip Using YouTube

Updated: Aug 4, 2022


If you’re like me, you do the most when it comes to studying - anything and everything to learn for fear of missing pertinent information. Who is with me?


I find it difficult to learn through traditional means because I am a kinesthetic learner. I need to be actively engaged and touch/feel things to learn, which is very hard to do in lecture via zoom.


A study hack a friend suggested was watching YouTube videos of the subject I was studying.


Even though YouTube is both auditory and visual, it helped me put the pieces together.


Below are 3 tips for incorporating YouTube videos to your studying.


# 1: Add additional notes to outlines


Adding additional notes while watching a video helped me stay engaged and active while reviewing material/learning new things.


# 2: Draw a picture


Drawing a picture helped increase my understanding. For example, I was having a hard time understanding the mechanism of action of the different diuretics until I drew out the renal system.


# 3: Watch and practice


This one is for sure one of the most important to kinesthetic learning. I did this for so many assessment procedures and practiced on my fiancé. He was the best patient.


If you’re a kinesthetic learner and are having a hard time learning through lectures alone, incorporate some of these hacks and let me know how it works for you.
