Of course taking notes is not the same thing as simply writing down everything the prof/teacher says. Going over them later with a highlighter or distilling the important parts was also useful.

Just my own experiences and not scientific at all. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAknwofsACgkQwRXgH3rKGfO7hwCfULIzGp9rWxSXe2OCdanZyVYi q20AnjBYgsucCsbxGxE3wUKSST71azBO =DHVL -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [email protected] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying
