Biochemistry Textbooks Questions
Would you please share with me your annotation system for textbooks? Highlighting, post-it notes… etc…?
I need some help in regards of taking efficient notes out of scientific (biological/biochemistry) textbooks. Would you please share with me any recommendation? how it worked for you in the past or in these days?
Thanks a million.
Thank you both for answering my question.
Actually, I’m in a university level, and I know that this is a strange, but I went through the university without developing my own annotation system. So, I’m now doing some sort of research and I want to re-read a lot of textbook that I find interesting (i.e. Alberts’ MBOC), and it’s a huge book (approx. 2000 pages). I want to study and have my own notes. The problem is that I’m scared too much to lose any bit of information, so I end up every time having the whole page copied into my notebook… shame. And sometime, I’m so frustrated to the limit of avoiding reading at all…
Appreciating every single small advice…
Thanks.
Tweak this system according to what exactly you want your notes to accomplish, what school level you are, and how much time you have.
Take the key concepts and put them in your own words. These are your notes. By each concept, you can put the page number in the textbook where that particular information was taken, in case you need to go back to the text.
Your goal is to take the information from the textbook and condense it. Then take your notes and condense them if you have time. The repetition helps you learn.
I wouldn’t use post-its or highlights because they make you think you are learning, when you’re really just doing something. Plus, it’s hard to figure out why you highlighted a passage unless you make a note on why you did it, so you waste more time that way. Post-its flag the page, but then you have to search the whole page. And you waste time making heading for the post-its and then searching through them later on.
Think of the textbook as the whole library. Your goal is to go in and check out the books (concepts, terms, formulas) you need for that particular topic, not to hang out there as long as possible or keep going back again and again.
Save a Bundle on Your Books
Purchasing textbooks can be extremely expensive for college students and is often one of the costliest aspects of attending school. Prices seem to be rising every semester, leaving many students unable to afford the proper materials for their education. Common tactics for saving money (like purchasing used textbooks) do spare students a small amount of money, but the dated, often poorly conditioned textbooks are far from ideal when competing for a the best college education. However, if you know where to look, you could save hundreds. Psychology textbooks are hugely important for students looking for success in the field. Without psychology textbooks, students would not be able to effectively learn all of the most important information required to earn a passing grade. However, they are often expensive and can sometimes cost as much as $100 or more per book, causing some students to forgo buying them. This is a mistake. If you know where to find the cheapest textbooks, you can save hundreds of dollars each semester while still learning all of the vital information. The same can be said for algebra and architecture textbooks, which are often required to be purchased in numbers due to the complexity of the subject matter. Algebra textbooks can be extremely pricey, but are absolutely vital to success in the field. The techniques and methods of algebra are so specific and complicated that not having a textbook would almost certainly lead to a poor, or even failing grade. Architecture textbooks may be even more expensive than psychology or algebra textbooks because the concepts and techniques in the industry are constantly evolving, meaning that the textbooks must be constantly updated. One common way for students to save on books is to purchase used textbooks; however, this is not usually an option in architecture, due to the ever-evolving nature of the subject. If you are looking to save money (let’s face it, who isn’t?) whether shopping for psychology textbooks, algebra textbooks or architecture textbooks, you can save lost of cash by purchasing them online. Just think what you could do with the savings, savings that could be hundreds of dollars.
