For this video, I wanted to show you

a quick tip to help you integrate

your lecture notes with your textbook notes.

You can use the method that I showed in one of my previous videos

to know the basics of textbook note taking

and adapt it into your typed notes.

All you have to do is open your textbook notes in Word

as you normally would

To open the comments column,

all you have to do is select a random word

on your text

and click the REVIEW tab

Making sure that you have the button "SHOW COMMENTS" enabled,

just click on "NEW COMMENT"

and the column will automatically pop up.

If you chose to print the document,

the right column will also be printed along

with your textbook notes on the left.

You can use this method two ways.

After typing all of your texbook notes on the left side,

you can print the documetn with a blank comments column

and take it to your lecture.

You can easily add information

on that light grey column

and complement the information

that you've summarized on the left side.

If you like to take your laptop to class,

using comments in word

is also perfect if you don't want to wrte the same information twice.

Keeping your textbook notes on the left side,

just type in the information from the lecture in the right column

during your lecture.

You can easily print this out,

and file it on a binder

keeping both sources of information next to each other

and being able to actively compare both types of notes.

This method really helped me simplify my life

whenever I had mandatory readings for a class

or had to prepare my lectures in advance.

I hope you found this small tip useful.
