As a current master’s degree student, I can say that the learning process in my bachelors was hard. It was hard not only because of complex subjects, but also the wrong method of teaching. I actually liked the way most of my professors used to teach. But the best was the project-based learning.

In this post, I will tell how do we, students, learn in the best way. I will also talk about the project-based learning and, why it is so effective. Hopefully, this post will be helpful to students and also to professors.

Learning new information and their dependent concepts:

Human mind has a basic structure. Learning something is either connecting the new information to a known information, or adding new information directly. Adding new information directly can only be done for basic knowledge such as a new language, a all new concept which is not related to anything and etc. This case mostly occurs for babies. For bachelor’s and master’s degree students, it is so rare. the subject that the high degree students learn are fully related to a previous knowledge. So, the student most know the base concept of newly learned information. If student knows the base concept, then the new information which is related to that concept can be learned.
