Approach

Step 1: Read all the necessary texts. Quick review after reading them.

Step 2: Review the texts quickly.

Step 3: Make notes at any time, but small topics only.

NB:

• More details can be added later
  --> If time allows, these notes should be complete and detailed
• But in the interest of time efficiency
  --> Remember not to make the notes too complete or detailed. (Take home messages only)
• If notes end up being to detailed, or the topic is very important
  --> Do a WRITTEN summary and scan for archive

Notation used
