Hello everybody!!

After you read a chapter in your textbook, do you highlight the most important parts or do you take notes separately? How do you record the data you learnt? On the computer or by writing it down? I'm curious as to how other people take their notes. Perhaps you use sticky notes in the textbook.

Personally, I usually take notes on my laptop, but I don't feel this is the most effective way to recite information.

What do you recommend? :)
