hey guys,
quick q on reading and taking notes on academic articles. I'm finding that when I read them I either take notes on literally everything (almost word for word often) and end up getting bogged down in the details, or if I try to go for the key points/arguments I inevitably end up not fully understanding or skipping over important things. Whichever approach I try, it just feels like I'm not approaching this in the best way and not fully being able to understand and engage with the author's opinions.
I haven't used them much at all so far in my undergrad degree, but trying to actually do all the reading this year so just figuring out how to get the most out of them. Atm feels a bit like I'm wasting my time, so any tips much appreciated.
Thanks
