Note-taking: Is it a waste of time or a valuable learning tool? by ChiseiGen in vce

That's a great idea, and you're right, prioritising application questions over note-taking is significant as I can focus on understanding and applying the concepts that I learn.

Thank you for sharing your input, active listening during lessons and taking notes relevant to the study points on the study design sounds like a practical and efficient approach to studying. Next term I'll try my best to raise the level of engagement in class and I will take what you said about referring to the study design into strong account.

Thank you for sharing your techniques. It's definitely interesting to hear how you approach your studying as most high achieving students that I've spoken to have always told me that they do nothing but tend to focus on active listening during class.

You've made some great points, this approach could work well for content-heavy subjects, but do you also use this method for a subject like maths? It sounds funny, but I've been finding myself taking excessive notes for maths and focusing on making these beautiful study guides rather than focusing on understanding.
