Books are wonderous creations — yes, even some of the books you’ve been assigned in class.
But if you’ve ever felt overwhelmed trying to absorb every word of every chapter of every book you’ve been assigned, there’s likely a better way.
So today we’ll be talking a bit about how we takes notes from books, both paper and digital, along with:
- Making the most of your walk between classes
- How to prepare for exams early
Enjoy!
