Reading through lectures is a widespread practice among students. Because of the effort to synthesise that this method requires, it encourages students to dwell on the important elements of the subject matter.
&Evidently making résumés takes time and you don't want to get lost in résumés that are too long and too close to your course notes. However, this investment of time can be worthwhile insofar as making résumés - particularly those made with a manual eacute;criture (graphological mémoire) - are for many students·e·s l39;étape-clacute; their process of mémorisation.
Mind maps (or mind maps) are tree diagrams that visually represent the path of thought and its associations. They can be useful during exam preparation to help synthesise and summarise material.
They are often organised around a key topic or concept to which various dimensions/categories are attached, which are themselves further divided into other sub-dimensions/categories. This type of representation helps to structure the material while showing the links between ideas.
