Taking and Organizing Notes
5 learning units · ~25 minutes
How to take notes that hold up when you study: as complete as possible, with reasons and examples, in your own words. To do this, you divide your page into three areas, write questions for later self-testing, and have a routine for slides that already exist, a fast pace, and material you cannot follow.
