#organized notes

Also, another question that I forgot to include. When the prof says that they’re only covering the important points in lecture, and that you need to know the whole textbook, how do you decide which points are important? Thanks!

You’re welcome :)

To answer your first question, it depends on what I need the article for. If I look up articles to find answers to things I’m curious about while studying lectures, I don’t print them out. However if it’s an article I need to present to people, I would.

As for making your own objectives, you can do this by either looking at the titles of your slides or by looking at the headlines and sub-headlines in the assigned chapter.

In high school, I used to be kind of lazy about studying. I would summarize an entire chapter in no more than three pages to feel like it wasn’t a lot. But this required that I make my handwriting small and neat so it’s legible.

Lastly, discerning what’s important and what’s less relevant is sometimes tricky. It usually depends on the subject you’re studying but obviously everything related to what your lecturer covered is important. There are a few things I ask myself when I do this: 1. is it relevant to the main topic? 2. is it required to understand other concepts? 3. am I likely to encounter it (in an exam/real life)?
