how do you write notes/questions/examples

okay so during the course of my VCE methods/chem history, i've always written the notes, the examples they provide then do the questions. However i'm finding that writing the examples wastes a lot of time so what do you recommend? How do you go about doing this?

Do you mean when you are starting to learn a new concept in maths/chem and you write the example out to grasp the concept.. why don't you read instead of write?

maybe read three or two times?

Dont know what you exactly mean

I never wrote out notes besides what the teacher wrote on the board.

well yes basically, as a new concept came up so let's say 3.4 empirical formulas, and here it had 4 examples on how to do them. I would write all examples then do questions. It's so fricken annoying but i'm used to it.

:/ waste of time imo, I use examples only for reference, or when I get stuck. It would be better to do questions rather than mindlessly copy down examples

yeah, waste of time. maybe just make one sentence notes on how you go about them or something? if you have the examples there then there's no point copying it down again. maybe for methods, for your bound reference, but then you're better off just taking in your text book.

Copying down examples isn't something I do much. Sometimes if I think I understand a concept I don't read the working out and just try and work it out and then compare with the example, but I don't just copy out what's been written there. But really it depends on how you learn.

ahkai thanks for that. I'm going to stop the habit from today, from the looks of it, it doesn't seem that effective.

Write out the examples given in the book? I'd say it is a waste of time..

You would be better of doing the questions given using the method given in the examples. The examples given are usually the "basics" and they simply give a rough idea on how you go about doing the exercises.
