Hi, I'm Thomas Frank and I wanna welcome you to a series that's a little bit different than anything you've seen here on Crash Course before.
大家好，我是托馬斯·弗蘭克，歡迎大家來到這個系列的學習課堂，這個系列和你們之前在 Crash Course 上看到的有一點不同。
While every other series up to this point has helped you explore and learn about actual academic subjects, like World History, Computer Science, and Literature, here we'll be learning how to learn.
雖然目前為止其他系列的課程都是幫助您探索和學習實際的學術主題的，如世界歷史、計算機科學和文學，但在這裡，我們將學習的是如何進行學習。
This is an important ability to have and to hone.
這是一個需要擁有和磨練的很重要的能力。
As our economy becomes more and more dominated by information, the people who can retain that information, learn new skills quickly, and combine what they know in new and innovative ways are gonna be the ones who succeed.
隨著我們的經濟越來越被信息所主導，那些能夠保留信息、快速學習新技能，並以新的方式結合他們所知道的知識的人，就將會成為成功人士。
Plus, when you know how to study efficiently for a test, you've got more time for Mario Kart.
另外，當你知道如何有效地學習以為考試做準備時，你就有更多的時間玩馬里奧賽車了。
So, I should probably introduce myself.
所以，現在我應該先介紹一下我自己。
My name is Thomas Frank and I'm the founder of College Info Geek. com.
我是 Thomas Frank，是 College Info Geek. com 網站的創立人。
I'm also the author of a book called 10 Steps to Earning Awesome Grades, and I'm the creator of a YouTube channel that's all about becoming a more effective student.
我還寫了一本書，叫做《取得好成績的十個步驟》，而且我還是一個 YouTube 頻道的創始人，這個頻道是關於如何成為一個更有效率的學生的。
I also have a podcast where I get together with my best friend Martin and we discuss many of these topics in even more depth.
我還有一個播客，是和我最好的朋友馬丁一起辦的，我們會對這些話題進行更深入的討論。
For the past 7 years, I've spent a huge amount of time writing and researching all about how we as humans can improve our ability to learn and become more productive.
在過去的七年裡，我花了大量的時間來論述和研究我們該如何提高學習能力、變得更有效率。
I've interviewed college professors, authors, sleep doctors, neuroscientists, and other experts.
我採訪過大學教授、作家、睡眠醫生、神經學家和其他專家。
And along the way, I've picked up a few tips that go beyond the basics that you might have already been taught.
在這個過程中，我學會了一些技巧，它們超越了你可能已經學過的基礎知識。
So, over the course of the next 10 episodes, I'll be sharing what I've learned.
所以，在接下來的10集裡，我將分享我學到的東西。
Among other things, we'll be digging into how to effectively take notes, tackle reading assignments, write papers, and – of course – study for tests.
除此之外，我們還將深入探討如何有效地記筆記、處理閱讀作業、寫論文，當然還有為考試做準備。
We'll explore how your memory works, and look at study strategies that take advantage of its limitations, rather than working against them.
我們將探索你的記憶是如何運作的，並研究能夠利用其侷限性的學習策略，而不是與之相悖。
We'll also cover productivity skills like planning, beating procrastination, and improving your concentration – skills that will serve you both in your life as a student and wherever you decide to go afterwards.
我們還將介紹一些提高效率的技能，比如計劃、戰勝拖延症和提高注意力——這些技能將在你的學生生活中和畢業後都有幫助。
And that's really the thing with study skills.
這就是學習技巧的問題。
As I've discovered since graduating college with an Information Systems degree a few years ago, and as you'll inevitably discover as well, the skills that enable you to ace your tests and keep all your assignments organized will transfer to your career and help you succeed there as well.
我幾年前從信息系統專業畢業後發現，你們也會不可避免地發現，那些能讓你在考試中取得好成績、井井有條地完成作業的技能將會轉移到你的職業生涯中，並幫助你在那個領域取得成功。
Welcome to Crash Course - Study Skills.
