I wrote this for my students but I thought I'd share it here too.
To memorize vocabulary words, formulas or definitions you should practice *recalling* that information. Just reading or copying the thing you want to memorize over and over may not help you remember it when there is nothing to copy.
Make flash cards for each thing you need to remember. Look at one side and then either write down the answer or say it out loud. Then check if it was correct.
