Finding patterns
How do you find patterns? In general, the search for useful patterns is a timeconsuming task that depends on persistence and chance. Fortunately for students, the search for patterns in most fields of knowledge has already been done for you. Much time and energy has already been spent to organize any material you might want to learn. Your task is then to make use of an existing pattern.
If a pattern is not obvious then instructors, texts, other students, and your own growing experience all provide inspirations for finding and creating patterns for organizing new information.
The task of finding a pattern and organizing information involves repeated examinations of that information along with repeated searches for the most effective associations. This is exactly what is required to store that information as a linked network in your memory. After organizing information, the only learning tasks remaining are more repetition, and practice with applications.
