Acronyms.

Have you ever used Acronyms?

Have you ever used Acronyms? They are a great way to remember things! If you haven’t tried it, you really should, because it works wonders!

How do you use it?

It is easy! Just make a list of the terms you need to remember, then underline or circle the first letter of each word. Try to arrange these into a word or something you will remember! This is easiest for memorizing things that there are many of and are only one word.

How did I use it?

I used this method in my CFS 388 and my Rel 120 class. This is a great method for me because I am a visual and aural learner. I put the terms in an order that makes the most sense, then I read them out loud until I fully memorized them. This is helpful for the visual aspect because I can picture the terms and the underlined letters in the future. It is also helpful because I read them out loud so this helps the aural aspect. I couldn’t figure out an actual word to fit with the letters I had underlined, so I made one up, but I certainly won’t forget it!
