I'm struggling a bit here with making revision notes. I realise that me usual way of revising is too inefficient time-wise. I have a thick economic textbook and it seem to take me forever to write out notes for just two pages. I want ask how do other people make notes? Do you use mainly bullet points and no paragraphs at all?
What I find is that sometimes I end up just copying chunks of the page because it takes me longer to try and to condense large paragraghs of information into 'notes'.
Also, can someone show me example of a good revision mindmap through attaching it as a picture or some other ways? I've never really used mindmaps to revise, and I'm not sure what to put as the title in the middle? Do I make separate mindmaps for indivdual topics in the content page or do I base them on smaller parts within those topics?
For example in my economics textbook, there are clearly defined topics within the whole macroeconomic section such as 'world trade', 'fiscal policy', 'balance of payment issues', 'taxation', 'the redistribution of wealth and income', 'trade policy' and 'world capital flow'.
However, within those topics are sub-sections. For example in the topic of 'trade policy', theres 4 sub-sections such as 'the benefits of trade' and 'the methods of trade protection'.
