Hey, should I be writing notes..... (Prelims) (1 Viewer)

[Nami__800]

Given that there are literally notes and resources for all modules and all subjects, is there really a need for me to write my own notes?? I mean the notes I find online are WAY better than I can format my own, plus they're written by people who did very well in the subject. Usually what I do is I write my own notes and write a set of questions and answers for them because active recalling the most effective method for me. Now that I have notes I was wondering If I could just jump straight to active recall as it's a huge time saver. Will not writing my own notes push me back, or put me at a disadvantage? Let me know what you guys think.

I think it might be better for u to write your own notes as it will make it easier for you to retain the information. But maybe try making ur own notes and also combine some from online
