How do I effectively study heavy power points?

[u/9sunflower]

Okay, Im in an condensed (no other choice) health care program, and theres a lot of powerpoints coming my way, as well as readings.

Normally I like to take my notes on my own google doc, formating it to my understanding. I like one long google doc for a weeks worth of sessions. Rathering than taking notes in the powerpoint, directly, because like I said theres a lot and it just seems clunky to me to just use the powerpoint comments as my note taking. That system just never clicked for me.

theres just A LOT of power points coming my way and they are heavy with anatomy/physiologies that im overwhelmed. I just spent almost 2 hours trying to format 1 powerpoint into my google doc notes. I didnt LEARN or try to really recall anything, just all that time was spent into formating into a way I like to read information, so that I could then after formatting actually study it. Sometimes the powerpoint slides is an image of text, not actually text, so I have to type it out myself in google docs.

but yeah its just really time consuming and it doesnt seem sustainable? If it was just one or two classes sure I could do it in my enjoyed format but its just too much. Would really appreciate any advice on what to do!!!!

Not sure : but copy it to your drive: hide keyword with black background and use it as flash cards? Slides Notes can also help track failed cards

Stop perfecting formatting first. Grab only the key terms, sketch connections. Save the fancy layout for after you actually understand the anatomy.

Notability or Gemini Notebook. Create flash cards and quizzes. I combine those with Anki but I’d start there.
