This is how I study.
1. I read the chapters before the lecture. If I have more time I take notes on my own.
2. I record the lecture and take notes during lecture.
3. After the lecture, I re listen to it and read the notes again. (I even put it on my iPod)
4. Read the chapters again. This time try to memorize.
5. Repeat listen to lecture and read the book a lot of time.
Any more suggestions compared to this?
