I’ve just started making a wiki for this semester. I already condense my work into word documents for each subject to create study guides, and doing it on a wiki instead makes it much more portable. I’ve also noticed that you can export each page to PDF files.

I’m studying Law, so I have very heavy reading outside of class. It’s rather simple – you just integrate the notes from readings, cases etc into class notes.

I’m very impressed by the creativity but the real meat isn’t the wiki, but the creativeness and analytical skills that Ricardo used.

He didn’t just use a wiki. He saw how to study effectively in an unconventional way. In most classes lectures are where everything at. In some there are readings that are really important. For most CS classes where lectures and practice are usually at the heart of excelling at the material, this is perfect because of the repetition. I have studied CS and observed CS friends. You truly need to ‘live’ CS to be very effective in it.

For others, the wiki has some applications. Classes requiring solely lecture notes are obvious. But even if some classes have readings in them, the MAIN IDEA or TAKEAWAY can still be reviewed or put down in this wiki.

The power of this wiki is that it is very flexible to what you need to do. What cinches the deal is that I have an iPhone or smart phone and can review this whenever I choose to.

The first few semesters of college are all CORE classes/University requirements, only having to tackle a couple Intro CS classes. I am interested to see how the 4.0 GPA holds up later in college when he is thrown into nothing but high level CS/Mathematics courses. Regardless, this seems like a good method towards studying.
