<p>I didn't outline this chapter in Pageant like I was supposed to this past school week (laziness got the best of me), and the outline is due on Tuesday. We have a quiz on this chapter tomorrow.</p>
<p>I was thinking of outlining the whole chapter in one night tonight. Is this a good idea?</p>
<p>EDIT: My teacher allows us to use outlines during quizzes.</p>
<p>A lot of these outlines are already pre-made and out in the internet fyi.</p>
<p>And I don’t think this is a good idea. You’ll be so focused on outlining that everything will go in through your head, out on your paper, and then promptly forgotten. </p>
<p>I would try to read the chapter (supplemented by any outlines you can find) and get the quiz down first. Then outline on Monday.</p>
<p>It’s your choice, but this is how I would personally approach it.</p>
<p>Well actually writing it out helps you remember it better. But personally, since it’s a quiz, I wouldn’t bother outlining. I would if it was a test though.</p>
<p>I also remember more by outlining, but it is way too time consuming for a quiz. On the rare occasions that I do decide to study, I just speed-read, highlight, and jot down some key ideas.</p>
<p>But our teacher structures our homework such that virtually no studying is needed, so I’m probably not the expert on this topic.</p>
<p>I might be screwed…he usually makes us turn in our reading notes on the day that we have quizzes (e.g., today), and I mistakenly thought that he was gonna have them due on the day of our exam (tomorrow). Gah, I just love life.</p>
