How To Take Notes From a Textbook | Reese Regan

[@rishavghosal121]

I basically end up copying large portions of the textbook while taking notes and then I feel like I just wasted all my time :")

I have a tip for textbook reading as well! A lot of people will "read" through their textbooks and highlight key information. However, most of the time the keywords are already bolded and it's been proven that it doesn't actually help. In addition to (preferably before) taking your notes, read through the material and after every section/paragraph, write the main idea and summary of the information in your own words on a post-it note, then stick that in your book! When you finish the chapter, take notes on the summaries to reiterate the information in your brain, helping you to remember. This has helped me tremendously for anatomy and physiology, and I HIGHLY recommend it!

[@aricarly]

+Lily Graham I support this tip! It's really useful and helps to retain a lot of information, I used to do one post-it note for every page, and stick it on top, and after I did it, I typed a summary, with added pictures from the web (I used this method for all my Art/Architecture History classes in university, and passed every single one with an A). I also recommend it a lot, to me it is the best method I've ever used for textbooks.

[@kaylaa_ann022]

I’m in anatomy and physiology right now and we mostly have to teach the info to ourselves, so I’ll definitely try this out!

[@lilygraham3129]

Me too! It's such a difficult class and it doesn't help that it feels mostly self-taught. I have an exam Monday on 3 chapters, and this method has helped me SO much! I highly recommend it. :)

[@lilygraham3129]

I haven't tried typing it out and adding pictures! I'll definetly try that out as well. :)

[@ticktocktrish6893]

Lily Graham definitely gonna try this cuz I too have anatomy and phys! Goodluck everyone 😭👍🏼

[@Xennial.hippie]

Thank you for the video! I’m 39 and finally going back to college! It’s been a long time since I’ve taken notes and honestly I wasn’t very involved in high school when I was a student!! Thanks again!

Why would u wanna go back?😂😭

[@bluebambiliminals]

I used to think my notes were supposed to be “aesthetic” and super neat, but I realize now that that’s not what is important, because it takes up way too much time. As long as you write down the important stuff and can read your handwriting, and can understand what is being said, then you’re ready to study.

[@franciseylim11]

Some of the bad textbook have a lot of sub-heading, sub-sub-heading and the worse sub-sub-sub-heading....

[@sam._.7951]

Yeah. I've been through that🥲

This was my BIGGEST struggle when I first started college! Awesome tips as always Reese! xx

as a psychology major it was interesting to see how other countries teach psychology hahahaha

[@Cmyers16]

sy haha what country are you from? I’m from the US and I’m a forensic psychology major! My professor posts the slides for us before class so I take notes from those then add things from the text book like examples, and then I follow along during class and add in things that she says that are important. :)

[@sy5486]

hi im a psychology major from singapore!!! you have a really cool major!!! actually thats what my professor does too HAHAHHA

[@jordanwells5561]

What's with the haha, seems kind of psychotic

[@erzascarlet03]

I think i'm going to major in psychiatry and minor in psychology when I go to college. I'm a senior in highschool this year

[@aly-rk1bs]

This is actually gonna be so helpful thank you I was stressing out about how to study for my AP final test prep so thank you. I was going to go to do psychology as a major but then I changed to medical career.

[@HeatherReadIt]

Thank you for this! I’m 37 and just starting a biology degree and I never learned how to properly take notes in school. I have never had any need to learn since. This is video is perfect!

I'm 25 and I'm teaching myself coding after having lost my last trade. It's helpful to figure out how to take notes from these huge books without being overwhelmed, and I absolutely love this video. Thank you so much for sharing and I just followed a few of your other pages too

[@emilyfetterman3045]

you should do a follow up video from this on how to take notes from a powerpoint presentation and how to take notes during the actual lecture !! i really need help with that!!

[@BlueBunny531]

Wait, can you do a video on how you take notes on your laptop and transfer to handwritten notes! I have a hard time with lecture classes and I want to see what you do. :)

[@lavanyasahay8297]

Colbie Lofton Hi 😊 Ok so ik Im commenting late but I recommend that u print out the notes which u have on ur laptop and if u want u can add up some points if u want to and just highlight the important info and ur good to go! Hope it helps 😃

[@BoozHiro]

@@lavanyasahay8297 thnx for giving me the idea! Now I can actually use the notes printed and bring it around!!

I take APUSH and I honestly can not read the textbook (it is so long and boring), my tip is to go on KZbin and watch a chapter review and take notes on it.then in class I’ll add anything left out, or I’ll try to skim over the chapter.

[@ditzykae]

Thanks for sharing this tip, I'm I this business ethics class all tiny print with barley any paragraphs so this will help me out alot

[@chloea4941]

Thank you for this videos Reese!! I was so stressed reading and learning from my textbook I didn’t know where to start, what to write and you helped ! ❤️

[@katss._.]

This is what I do - Read the paragraph Then make a short summary Write it in my notes (I also get some info from Google just for some important points)

[@shelbysmith6044]

I've watched literally 20 videos before I found yours and this is the most helpful so far. I think our styles are similar so your tips were very helpful.

[@bilalmestoglu]

me:I should take good notes teacher:You have 5 min to write me:Oh, you don't let me fulfill my dreams.

[@goober002]

If your teacher uses slides and it's available for you to access, it helps to either print them out or write them out before your class and then in class you can just focus on writing down the important information that wasnt on the slides! It really helps me since I write so much slower than everyone else so I dont even get to write them all down in class

[@pastelchii8206]

[@alondrarodriguez1113]

So helpful! I struggle a bit with this cause I always end up writing the book all over again lol great video Reese! 💕

[@gildanonofyabiznez6430]

In college we are usually given a little textbook made specifically for each specific subject, but professors still encourage us to study from different books too. My problem is I never know how to add on the information from the other books lol. Sometimes different books will say the same thing as out guide textbook but with a different vocabulary and I just don't know how to integrate it

[@KellyVermeulen]

What I always do, and am more enthousiastic about, is making notes of the slides (when I'm at home). And when I'm 2 weeks before a test I take the textbook and add information that is "missing". So you actually study the information twice 😀 btw love your channel, new sub ❤

[@user-bw6tr9hu3t]

Thank you for this! I'm also a psych student and I'm having quite a hard time writing notes from my textbook (especially on Psychological Assessment). Glad I came across ur vid xx

[@chrysoula5226]

phychology looks extremely interesting

[@hannahstokes1065]

Chrysoula I’m taking a college psychology 101 class in highschool (I’m homeschooled) and it’s super interesting! I love reading my textbook and I highly recommend it, even if you’re reading a non-school curriculum book.

[@SK-qj8sm]

most of it is but the annoying paper I hate is the statistical research methods paper and filled with statistics and data analysis, fucking hated it SO much.

[@cup-of-char]

I'm loving all these academic/college themed videos and vlogs. Great work!

[@MASOOD867]

really helpful what i get from this video are as follow read the whole topic from textbook one or twice note the information which are related to the topic highlight the main point make sticky notes from the college lecture and stick the related topic material to the notes

[@capriceneman5902]

could u pls make an updated video on taking notes during lectures/PowerPoints? and also how to prepare for college in high school like study tips and how to manage time, study well, etc.

[@nurhidayah3693]

oh my god our note taking style is literally the same! i dont like too crazy looking notes. i only use black pen, a yellow highlighter and yellow sticky notes

[@kyra8138]

Good to know that I've always done this when doing my online classes.

[@asmrslol848]

What I do is try to understand, not memorize but UNDERSTAND the information and then write it in my own words. I also start off with the big idea and carefully go more in depth, instead of trying to take on everything at once

[@suyashori]

thank you! i am starting my final year of college in a week and so i want to make things easy on myself. you made me realize the past few years i have been doing waaaay too much lol

crazy how I'm taking intro to psychology and looking for study tips only to land on your video with the exact thing I'm trying to make notes on.

[@cath_27]

I am a freshman and still learning some study methods, but what I started to do is read the objective learnings, or the main questions given at the end of the chapter. Then go back read the book and in the mean time highlight the main concepts or general facts and ideas. I write a little post it tag on the top as a summary of less than a sentence. And at the same time write down the information on Remnote (as possible questions so later I can memorize it quicker). Still working on it, but helped me a lot for Psychology!

[@anjugupta25]

@@Itshillaryyyy this was for APUSH and I just stopped reading LMAOOO but I did read for AP Psych.

But, for history, I haven’t learned anything to make it better
