What is the best way to take notes from a textbook?
I am asking because I have always found it really difficult and I tend to write a little too much and it ends up taking like 2 hours to take note on one chapter I need to find a more efficient method to take notes in the future. #college_and_career_ready

Hi Asia,
Different things always work for different people. But, the best advice I can give is what worked for me. What I would first do is not stress about taking notes on the first pass. Read the whole page, internalize it and then decide what the important points were. Skim back through the page and write down key terms and definitions (as these are the most likely things to be asked for on a test.) This way you are not worried about writing potentially every little thing down that you see.
Hope this helps!
Thanks,
Mike

I would suggest checking out StudySoup (https://studysoup.com/)- it is a platform for students like yourself to share materials from your classes.
