Taking Notes
There are many ways to take notes from both lectures and textbooks. Also, you can use any of these styles to make your own study notes. Review these different styles and decide which is best for you. Your note styles may change with the subject matter.
Pay attention to the styles that may not be good for you, but could work for one of your tutees.
