Would it be useful to write notes for chemistry? I have purchased Thushan's notes and a couple other commercial resources so I was wondering whether I should just answer questions to revise instead. Realistically, Chemistry will probably be in my bottom 2 and will receive the least of my efforts this year but I still want to do well in it (who knows?).
Thanks
For what it's worth, I found writing notes at university to be very useful (high school not so much, because question bashing was usually enough to get the point of the course material). To me, writing notes a month or so after learning the content would act as revision. Then, I would have the opportunity to write any steps or reasoning in words that made sense to me, and the act of thinking of my own words helped with the understanding of said material.
To give a chemistry example, if you're looking at what a fat is, you might just remember that fats are composed of triglycerides, and that looking at the name suggests that there is glycerol and three of something. Then you would remember that triglycerides are made from fatty acids, and that glycerol contains OH (says so in data book), so triglycerides must have three ester groups in them. If you write your notes and think about them when you write them, the knowledge sticks better.
