My study area

Here is a picture of my study wall. I use a whiteboard to help me summarise topics into flow charts or mind maps.
I have found that a whiteboard helps me to get ideas down easier, with more room to make a mistake, adapt an idea and with repetition of content getting the idea into my long term memory for an exam.
In this picture I have summarised 4 pages into 1 chart. I would highly recommend this for studying, especially for visual learners.
My whiteboard is just an A5 piece of paper that has been laminated. You can pick up a cheap one for about $5-$10 (AUD) from a discount store, but if you choose that option use a damp cloth or baby wipe to clean it or you may rub the paint off the cardboard.
