Commentarii Roamani: Back to School, Part 2: Notes and Exams
|
Commentarii Roamani Last time we set up Roam as your course hub. Now that classes have started, the focus is on taking notes, keeping them connected, and getting ready for exams. Back to School, Part 2: Notes and ExamsWe hope everyone had a great Back to School this September! If you haven’t already, check out our last newsletter on setting up your courses for this semester in Roam. Now, preparing for exams is a different task. We’ll show you how to take notes in Roam and organize them so you can spend your time studying, not figuring out what to study. 📍📌📚✂️🎓📕📒✏️🚌📓📖📆🚍📝📔📘🏫📙📏📎🚸🖌️📗🖍️📅🖇️🗓️📐🖊️📋🗒️✒️🖋️🧑🏫 WhereAdd a section for notes on each course page. For every lecture, insert the date with HowDuring lectures it’s normal not to know the full structure of the material. The best approach is simply to keep writing. Roam’s bullets and nesting structure will keep your notes organized as you go, and whenever an idea pops up or you come across a concept you've already seen, simply add a hashtag and keep moving. After taking your initial notes, turn them into permanent notes or flashcards for review. Once you have a general overview of the topic, it’s easier to distill the main points into material you can memorize. See this issue for tips on creating flashcards 🌟 Then, use the Sometimes professors draw on the board, and it can be difficult to capture that directly in Roam while typing. In those cases, open Excalidraw with Study Tip: Under each test in your Course Hub, add references for possible times you can study. These will surface in your Daily Notes as reminders and keep you prepared. We also recommend using any Roam Depot extensions to enrich your workflow, more on this in the next issue! Change Log 🪵
