canada747 Posted October 4, 2018 Report Share Posted October 4, 2018 I want to begin studying at home and skipping lectures. My university (I'm first-year med) posts the lecture recordings online, so I can review the videos the next day at a faster speed and take more detailed notes I think. How do you take notes when doing so? I've got a hotkey to pause when I miss something, but was wondering if you take notes on the PDF or elsewhere. Do you make flashcards simultaneously? I just need to find a more efficient way to study the material than listening (and missing the profs' details). Looking for advice from the Premed101 heavy-hitters, @Bambi @rmorelan @Vendar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canada747 Posted October 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2018 1st year med specifically, but okay - my mistake. All opinions are appreciated. Also, I figure they've used some trial and error if they did use this process and might know what's useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyAndHopeful Posted October 4, 2018 Report Share Posted October 4, 2018 Are your lectures available in PowerPoint format? I take notes in the notes section of the PowerPoint. Some people in my class also upload the slides to OneNote and take notes on there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brady23 Posted October 6, 2018 Report Share Posted October 6, 2018 Ya I usually watch them on 2x speed, and pause to make notes There's too much information for me to write the notes by hand on my iPad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PulsusParadoxus Posted October 12, 2018 Report Share Posted October 12, 2018 I’m second year, we also have lecture capture. I use an iPad + Apple Pencil and OneNote for my notes. I use picture-in-picture to watch the lecture slides at a smaller size, while listening to the audio and writing notes on on the PDF printout in OneNote. I’ll usually listen at 1.5-2x depending how slow the professor talks, take notes and pause/rewind to catch up or if I think I missed something.
