Isn't this a fairly crucial part of "learning"?
- linker3000 7y agoSure, write up stuff that supports your referral back to the original notes, or makes corrections and additions - but don't get rid of the original notes or replace them with interpreted copies.
- logifail 7y agoThe original article was talking about students learning in lectures. One might presume that the learning process ends with students being tested in a situation where they have no notes of any kind? If that's true, then there's no point holding on to "the originals", because on the day of the test/exam/whatever, you won't have access to them anyway. In essence, transferring knowledge from the original lecture via the written notes to ones memory?
