ColumbiaLearn・2 minutes read
Students should engage in iterative note review, involving multiple interactions with notes throughout the day to enhance understanding and memory retention, which is more effective than traditional study methods. By following three steps of active note-taking, distillation of key points, and reviewing notes daily, students can deepen their knowledge and improve comprehension, leading to cumulative growth in understanding the material.
Insights
- Engaging with notes multiple times in a day, through active note-taking, immediate distillation, and end-of-day review, can transform surface-level familiarity into deep knowledge, enhancing comprehension and retention.
- Implementing iterative note review, despite requiring discipline, can significantly improve students' understanding and memory retention of lecture material, even with partial adherence to the three-step process.
