i do actually learn best by reading. if the professor produces a set of authoritative notes for the class, i will get an A on every exam. as long as the professor makes it clear exactly what sections of the text are important, i will learn everything and still get an A every time.
if the professor says important stuff during lecture that cannot be read somewhere, i have no chance of retaining that information.
- watwut 9y agoWriting own notes help in situation where informations is only said. Then you can read it. Pretty much no one is able to consistently remember heard information after single hearing, overwhelming majority of people need to revise it.
- kolpa 9y agoWriting helps because writing is an effective learning style, even if you burn the notes as soon as you write them. (Reading might help even more, but reading without writing helps less than writing + reading)
- watwut 9y agoLearning style theory says that some people learn by reading, others by writing and yet others even differently.
- balabaster 9y agoConversely, I retain almost nothing I get from books. But if you can explain something so I actually understand it, I don't even need to revise come exam time. If I understand it, or at least well enough to reconstruct a complete understanding on the fly, then I'll ace the exam. If you expect me to try and learn it from a book, I'll still do okay, but it'll take me 10 times longer to learn it.
