Course Curriculum
Part 0: Start Here
This is your personal orientation. Before you learn any technique, you must first upgrade your belief system.
In this part, you will:
Master the Mindset: Understand that your Brain is like a Muscle and requires consistent effort.
Sign the Contract: Learn why you must actively participate, especially by completing Quizzes and Assignments.
Unlock Support: Know exactly where to go when you need help.
By the end of this module, you will have the correct perspective to guarantee your own success.

Lesson 0.4: The Power of Questions
Part 1: The Foundation of Learning
This is the foundation of the entire system. Most students build their knowledge on a shaky base of passive habits like re-reading and highlighting. These methods create the "Fluency Illusion"—a false sense of confidence where you recognize information but cannot use it.
In this module, we install the Three Core Engines that power permanent memory:
Active Recall: Switching from passive input to active retrieval.
Spaced Repetition: Timing your reviews to hack the biology of the brain.
The Feynman Technique: Using teaching to identify and fix your knowledge gaps.
By the end of this part, you will stop "studying hard" and start building permanent knowledge.

Part 2: Memory Systems (Mnemonics)
Most people try to memorize information by repeating it over and over (rote memorization). This is like trying to hold water in your hands; eventually, it leaks out.
In this module, we change the state of the information. We turn the "water" (abstract facts) into "ice" (solid images). You will learn the secrets used by World Memory Champions to memorize thousands of cards or numbers in minutes. We will cover:
The "Weird and Where" Principle: Why our brains love absurd images and spatial locations.
The Memory Palace: How to store lists in your house.
The Word Bridge: How to memorize vocabulary and names instantly.
The Number Code: How to remember dates and formulas.

Part 3: The Exam Strategies
You can have the best memory techniques in the world, but if you procrastinate until the night before, or if you panic during the exam, you will still fail. This module builds your defensive strategy.
We will cover the three distinct phases of the "Exam Game":
The Pre-Game: How to beat procrastination using the Pomodoro Technique and the 5-Minute Rule.
The Start Line: How to shut down exam anxiety using Navy SEAL breathing protocols.
The Race: How to maximize your points using the Triage Method (3-Pass Strategy).
