Hi! How do you highlight your textbooks? Do you use your handwritten notes colour-coding system?
Hey! My colour coding system is:
Black - for general notes.
Yellow (highlighter only) - for important information that outlines the point.
Light blue (pen and highlighter) - for terms and their definitions/synonyms.
Red (pen only) - for sentence points and key ideas in my study notes (usually not class notes).
Dark blue (pen and highlighter) - for businesses, agencies, legislation, etc.
Light green (pen and highlighter) - for quotes, case studies.
Dark green (pen only) - for people’s names or important dates.
Purple (pen and highlighter) - for books titles, publications, reports.
Pink (pen and highlighter) - for statistics.
Orange - for examples.
As you’ve differentiated, I don’t highlight my colour code but I do highlight textbooks/readings (digital and physical copies). With my digital annotations, I also started to write bits and bobs in grey to help! x
