Study notes: practice recalling, not just rereading

Copying a whole page into a note creates another page to read. To study actively, turn the content into questions. A board with brief concepts makes it easier to spot what you can explain and where you need to return to the original materials.

Write a note

An example to put it into practice

Question · How does it work?

Example · Apply it to a case

Review · Explain it tomorrow

Getting started

  1. Write a specific question on each note: what is the difference between these two concepts? Try answering it before looking at the book.
  2. Add an example of your own. If you only remember the definition, check whether you can apply it to a new situation. Mark unresolved questions with #review.
  3. End the session with three questions for the next day. Adapt each note to your subject and keep backups of important study notes.

A common question

Does PostisPop correct or verify my study notes?
