I don't get mnemonics and weird connections like that. I remember everything intuitively and just read lots of material; and take notes during lectures. But I don't study the notes, I just write them down to reinforce what I heard. Usually I just toss them out unless they have maths or something on them. I do not like clutter D:

Reading stuff on the internet is also easy and very helpful and I am pretty much always on the internet, so that's where I get a lot of supporting information. Repetition is a pain in the ass though and I never do it for reading or writing things.
