Many times when I am trying to learn in class, feel like I am actually missing something by taking notes. While I write rigorously, the teacher has moved onto a different topic or stated an example I am not aware of. This may sound like I am just trying to get out of note taking, but in truth, I feel like I learn more without my pen touching paper.

Study tips are good, but I think ultimately everyone just has to find what works best for themselves. At this point, we've all done enough studying to know how we study most effectively. But I do agree with the idea that more studying doesn't necessarily mean more knowledge. Sometimes the all-nighter is when you foget the most information. I think it's really important for everyone to remember to get enough rest, as silly and simple as it seems, and to study to where you know the material, then take a break or move on to something else and review later.

these are the kinds of tactics that will and should help all of us get through this school, it is good to have them written in front of you in order to properly consider the processes. i feel as though all of the classic tactics still and always will apply.
