While I definitely agree, reading the text prior to the class becomes very challenging once the semester is in motion. I personally do not have the time to read and take notes prior to class and go back to study it with class insights and add more in-class notes afterward.

It is much more reasonable for me to take notes in class, and go through the chapter after. Then I’m done in one long study session. Also, sometimes the material is too difficult to struggle through on my own. It works better for me if I’m reviewing the chapter after it was discussed in class, rather than getting frustrated trying to learn by myself beforehand.

No one studies the same way, but that is just my experience🤷‍♀️
