Whenever we experience new information, make sure you understand it FIRST TIME. If you miss it first time, you'll be slacking and eventually cramming information in, leaving the important insights out (Cal Newport talks passionately about these as well). Not only is it important to plan ahead it's also important to plan ahead what kind of studying you are working with. If it's math you might want to use a different algorithm for studying that if you're studying literature. I like the point you are making in regards to getting grades. Grades are nothing else than evaluation aids; they let you figure out what you've done right or wrong.Thanks for reminding us fellow students and keeping this blog running,Regards, Anders Well done, Stefan.

I presume he means revising the class material within 48 hours, instead of after exactly 48 hours? It's basically a rather simple method of planning, in fact you don't have to plan at all. As long as you follow each class on your agenda your studytime is determined as well, namely somewhere in the following 48 hours. I'm going to try this next semester, we'll see how it turns out!
