<p>Our teacher (he is a homework Nazi) is making us summarize every section in our APUSH book. His tests are a piece of cake so we don't really need to pay attention to details. However, I would like to gain as many details as possible for the APUSH MC/FR sections where I they can help. How should I approach the textbook summaries? What I'm doing right now is underlining important information in the text and then after I'm done with a section, I go back and read those parts again and just paraphrase them. My teacher advises us to read the section, close the book, and write out what you remember. However, many times, I don't know exactly if I remember the information correctly... so I'm afraid that I will be remembering the wrong or not-entirely-correct information. How would you complete the summaries to gain the most out of it (with the least amount of time as possible)?</p>
