5 learning units · ~25 minutes
How to take notes so that they 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 sections, write questions for self-testing later, and have a routine for existing slides, a fast pace, and material you can’t follow. This way you use your notes as study material from your very first classes.
