what do you do to take notes as you read?
i usually always underline, but last night i decided to get hi-lighters and hi-lighted up my bio print-outs and now i'm going back to review all the massive amounts of info i was supposed to absorb and all i can think about is "oooh, colors pretty" and i'm completely missing the words  anyways, i think i'm gonna go back to underlines and margin notes. |

I've never highlighted my books... I just can't. I think it's the fact that I want to sell my textbooks after I'm done with them and that I wouldn't want to buy a book with pages full of highlighting. And with highlighting, I never know how much or how little to highlight! I would just end up highlighting the entire page hahaha.
Right now I kind of take notes on a separate piece of paper. It takes forever, which makes me very sad, but it helps me remember the concepts/terms better. As for my own notes, I underline key terms with highlighters. =P |
