The tips begin at a different place in each module. The advice moves along with the stages of the course.

You will have a tendency to encode information differently depending on the level to which the information is relevant to your life. This is the self-reference effect. Knowledge items with personal relevance are easier to remember and learned more deeply. Relate science concepts to your personal experience as much as possible.
