Get Your Students Hired
I talk to students about the value of creating a Mnemonic hook. Any gimic to remember a term or sequence can be a great tool. I still remember Ohm's Law and the resistor color code from these tricks.
I couln't agree with you more I still remember mnemonics from 20 years ago in school. One creative way is for the class that may come up with their own if they are part of the creation they are more likely to remember it longer
I couldnt agree more! i use mnenonics daily and found the funnier ones seem to work best. In my opinion, i found that this or word association works best if either funny or outrageous as it remains in your mind longer due to being a unigue expierience that perhaps made them laugh. Sometimes even personal relevence to a defanition also works well.
Hi Randy,
I am always amazed at how well mnemonics work to learn certain set information that needs to be recalled. As instructors we need to be on the look out for these devices that will help our students learn and retain such content.
