@parked08 I have created a video on this topic - reading is extremely poor for memory retention, so definitely writing them out. Although, teaching someone the material is the best way.

When learning notes, which do you think is more effective? just sitting down in a quite area and reading them over and over again, or, writing them down over and over again? thanks
