   The Curve of Forgetting
 •At the end of a lecture, you know 100 % of what you 
  learned. 
 •By day 2, if you have done nothing with the info, you 
  will have lost 50%-80% of what you learned. 
 •Between days 7 and 30, you lose almost all of the 
  information (97-98%) you learned. 
  10-24-7
 •Change the amount of information you forget by 
  repeatedly exposing yourself to the information. 
 •More exposure = quicker recall
 •Formula: 
  ▫Within 10 minutes, review notes (add info, highlight, 
   etc.).  
  ▫Within 24 hours, review notes again (add questions on 
   the left).
  ▫Within a week, write the summary and review your 
   notes.
  ▫Any time after spend a few minutes reviewing. (Quiz 
   yourself!)
