Independent third-party recommendation · Video

Original creator: Crash Course; presented by Thomas Frank. Theme: Studying.

An approachable introduction to note-taking approaches and preparing to use what you record. It is particularly relevant to students trying to make study time more purposeful, whether they use paper or a computer.

Why we recommend this video

Treat notes as material you will organize, question and retrieve later, rather than a full transcript of everything you hear. The best format is one you can actually review.

Reflect as you watch

After your next class or reading session, what two questions could you answer from memory before reopening your notes?
