how to make first-class lecture notes + cut down reading time 

S T O P 😤 T E X T B O O K 😤 R E A D I NG 😤 well at least taking hundreds of notes from a textbook that probably won’t gain you marks #workSMARTnotHARD

litERALLY I HAVE NEVER MET A RU-vidR SO DEDICATED IN TRULY EDUCATING THEIR VIEWERS ON THE PROPER WAYS TO TAKE GOOD NOTES AND ANSWER QUESTIONS LIKE. YOU TRULY GO ABOVE AND BEYOND AND YOU'RE NOT STINGY AT ALL WITH YOUR KNOWLEDGE AND IT'S SO DAMN HELPFUL AND WOW I APPLAUD YOU

Thank god for this video, I’m so tired of the ‘studytubers’ who make videos on note taking just to tell you to make fancy titles with mildliners and that’s it. Pretty notes=/= good notes!

Find urself a gal who can save your degree with the most amazing note taking tips and teach you how to make the best iced coffee

My entire exposure to the law industry is from: - two years of mock trial - how to get away with murder - eve cornwell

I’m a med student and I don’t even know why I’m watching this beside the fact that I love Eve 😂🤷🏻‍♀️

To be honest Eve, we need a more detailed video on this because this is great at summarising the main key points that we need to know but I feel like there's so much more I need to wrap my head around. At this point, I pretty much need an entire video on how to read information more efficiently. Like, I'll read the set chapters for each law module and come out with zero time for doing the additional readings, whilst STILL needing to check that I've actually learned and understood everything for contracts, public law etc. Help! Can we like email you or something? Just jk (not really).

Please do the case note video! Or any study / notes / exam videos! for law ha

I have come out of this video more confused that what I was when I entered.... please do a more detailed version!!!

sadly this doesn't apply to science (I do biomedical engineering), in this case DEFINITELY READ THE TEXTBOOK and be VERY DESCRIPTIVE in your answers if you have to give certain pathways or cycles or reactions

WE NEED MORE VIDEOS ABOUT NOTES. This is a great video but it's still really vague so if you maybe could expand in a bit more detail a few of the stept you're talking about in this video. Also, has this system changed since you started your LPC?

"I'm a law student", iced coffee and brilliant revision advice = its a classic eve vid

this video honestly came at such a great time for me. for context, im a psych student, and my first year i didnt really take notes effectively at all so i wanted to improve on it this year. ive been trying out doing reading before my lecture so my knowledge is more solid, but pretty much all my lecturers just make the powerpoints from the book. you've kinda just made me realise how much time im wasting, since im spending like five hours on reading only to just get the most concise points from the powerpoint, so i think i'll try out doing the reading afterwards and building on the powerpoint with research that's are only in the book. thanks for the video!! really looking forward to a revision noted video, my whole life ive just wrote out notes again and again and done basic knowledge tests so i really want to figure out the best method for me x this is probably just an excuse for me to not do the reading for my 9am tomorrow so big thanks for that

From a first year law student who struggles finishing the textbook readings: THANK YOU

Important question: How are you today?

1. lecture note - pre-format your note in the lecture itself - color-code and highlighting + key information - yellow + case - blue + academic words - pink - compile form the start + let all lecture in the same topic into 1 document 2. set reading - strip down (format) your note + it may have some information that no need to read + textbook reading - pink, further reading - orange 3. tutorial prep 4. revision note

Her video editing skills are top notch!

reading academic papers and extracting key arguments, use them as arguments and counterarguments, and then explaining why you side with this kind of opinion helped a lot when I did my International Law of Trade and Aid course (Tonia tutored it lol, she's brilliant)!

I’m studying law in the Netherlands and it’s pretty different. We usually get the presentation after the lecture so the only way to prepare for lectures is to do the reading. I wish I could format my notes beforehand. But love this series! Very helpful!

I'm a simple person. I see Eve's new video, I click.

Thank you sooooo much for this video❤️❤️. Honestly was struggling with note taking, I mean their is a lot of material and u just like don't know what the hell to so with it. This really helped. PS. IF U CAN MAKE LIKE MORE VIDEOS TO HELP WITH ANSWERING EXAM QUESTIONS AND EVEN MORE ON NOT TAKING THAT WOULD BE AWESOME.IM SURE UR BUSY BUT IF U GET THE TIME.

As a 1st year law student who’s completely confused about what the hell is going on and how to manage everything, this is a damn lifesaver😍

Less of the textbook reading, More of the IMPORTANT Reading. Priceless statement! ❤️

omg i love your highlighter we stan a beauty guru

Just what I needed

As a medical student, I really found these tips interesting. Another helpful note taking method is to record the lecture if your doctor/professor allows you. So if for example you are not in focus during lecture for some reason, you can go back to your recordings and figure it out!

Anyone else just watched mirror Eve?? :)

no one : eve every video : IM A LAW STUDENT

Omg feeling blessed right now, queen eve back at it again providing that banging content!! Your literally getting me through my degree right now 🙏🏻

You should make reading playlists

Well, my school textbooks are colourful and fun they make it really thin as well but I still write my own notes because colours get me distracted so I would use one colour per topic in notes

YOU ARE AMAZING, would love separate more in-depth videos for each stage thank youuuuu 💗💗💗💗

YES EVE YES

Why you so perf😭😭? And great video started first year and before I was writing down everything the lecturer says passively without really understanding what was being taught in the lecture now I try to acc listen in the lecture to solidify what I already know from looking at the lecture slides a day before i also use he Cornell system for note taking

ANOTHER AMAZING VIDEO EVE! FCKING KILLING IT! LOVE FROM AUSTRALIA

Thank you so much for your explanation of what critical analysis is!

When you’re in 3rd year law and still lost af 😂

The gem of this video that blew my mind: class as a taster! My whole world just shifted. I record and transcribe ALL my lectures. LMAO!

for someone like me who's considering law in university these videos are GOLDEN because it's like "here beeeetch this is what you'll be working on if you do this" you have NO IDEA HOW HELPFUL THIS IS!! xoxox also how did you know you wanted to study law when you were in school?

you deserve way more subscribers, it's absolute GOLD what you're talking about

I have just started my law degree and I'm really struggling to take concise notes at the moment, more videos like this would help ridiculously!!

Yes eve!!!!!! Been waiting for this for ages!!! Literally love your channel!! , I am a true eve fan!! ❤️

Bless you, honestly I just started my foundation in law and your video does really helps me a lot, thank you! 😭💖

social work student here 🙋🏼‍♂️ A lot of my material is reading heavy textbooks and writing lengthy papers, so I feel like this could potentially help this upcoming term! Thank you!!

ive just come back to this video 4 years later, now im finally studying my law degree, thankyou fo inspiring 14 year old me :)

had my first lectures today. thought i'd watch this so i don't make the same mistakes i made during a-level.

Thank you for your love and care Eve. Looking forward for the revision notes taking. 🌼

I wish you nothing but love, good vibes and happiness. You just saved my degree thanks :)

INGENIOUS. YOU MIGHT HAVE JUST SAVED MY LIFE

Best most informative study video so far

You’re such a god damn blessing

I am a final year law student and found your video to be so so so helpful! Love your video and sense of humour. Discovered your channel recently and loving it till now!! I relate so hard to your crippling addiction to coffee too. :p

I'm an accountancy student but this helped me pass through some of my law subjects. Thank you so much!!!

HELP PLEASE 😭: I am lost in the sauce as a second year student trying to get a law vacation scheme .Can you do a video on how to weite an application form and prepare for an interview . 😘

YES YES YES THIS IS WHAT I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR!!!!!

Im doing my A2's right now but its good to know this because im going into international business where there will be alot of textbook reading and i will be taking the business law modules because they intrigue me so much. Thanks for the vid! xx

Pro Tip: I recommend becoming a Paralegal or whatever you would call it in the UK first. Just from my own observations, paralegals get taught to do all of what's being taught here in an efficient manner and definitely helps the lawyers out when they have one of us haha. But after you get your diploma as a paralegal (or whatever it may be called elsewhere) you also gain experience usually through a work-term in a firm or court. After that if you still really want to become a lawyer, you can make it into a bachelor, or take like one more year before the LSATs in some cases! After you graduate from that you may have a step up when gaining entry into the legal industry because you've already had previous experience! :D I hope that this helps some people :)

And then there's me still in highschool 15 years old and in year 11...

Also, I’m still in high school but I switched from public school to doing online school fully and have noticed that a lot of the lessons/units is stories for you to understand better. That’s great, but if you don’t need that to comprehend the info, skip to the parts of the actual information that’s needed.

Sigrid always hypes me uppppp 😂 that little beginning made me happy

I would love just to see your notes in full, rather than a few seconds on the screen lol. I'm in law too (in Australia) and there is so much reading. Most units I do ok, but Torts was my big destroyer that made me question my study. smashed the essay, flunked the exam, and it was because my notes were all wrong

So much energy : ) very enjoyable to watch. Thank you for sharing.

1:24 Ah thanks for reminding I nearly forgot that

i was in 9th grade when i came across this video (that made me subscribe to this channel). now i'm back as a political science student (also an aspiring lawyer!!!) and can i just say... YOUR VIDEOS MAKE ME SO MOTIVATED!

omg thank u. ur literally a GODDESS

Oh boy...studying law here is soooo different, we actually have to read the textbooks and know 90% it says in there....and they are like 500-1000 pages long

In my final year studying law, this could not have come at a better time!

Thank you for this! Greetings from Australia :D

I don't study as you guys! so I can't really understand all what she was saying but I feel that it's very amazing of her to give her subscribers such useful interesting video which will help a lot of people ....Tnx ❤

Hey eve, I really loved your video. I too am a studytuber and i too am in university, you gave a really good idea for video however I’m a Management student so I’ll do a Management edition! Great work!x

Something that teachers never teacher is what she’s teaching about textbooks. The SQPR method is essentially the same, except if you’re reading the textbook after class, then you’re already perfectly prepped of what is of the upmost importance, and you can fly through a textbook. From what I’ve found, 30% of the textbook reading is base topics, and 70% expansion on the topics. A non law example would be about low vs high pressure systems. The textbook will explain that low pressure systems are air circling up into the atmosphere in a counter clockwise motion. They’ll also explain that clouds are produced in low pressure systems due to the moist, hot air cooling in the atmosphere. This is important. This is what you need to know. The textbook will then go into detail through the next page and a half about how exactly they’re created, and a bunch of nuanced stuff. Remember, the people writing the textbook are really passionate about the subject, so they love writing about it. You won’t be tested on the nuanced stuff, depending on the class, and chances are you’ll forget about it, too.

Yaaas! I really needed some study advice that was law focused! THANK U FOR THIS 😘

Dream, think boldly, invest the heart, a lot is possible!

MORE PLEASE!! So helpful :)

Cheer~~~an educational talk to an audience, especially to students in a university or college.😊

SUCH a useful video

Well im glad here in belgium we learn note-taking from age 12// 7th grade. I really took that for granted

AMAAAAAAAAAAZZZZZINNNGGG!!! Thank you. dont wait until exam season lol, release revision videos soon. also a lot of us law students have coursework/essays due for this winter, so any tips??

OMG I have received the notificationnnnn 😍😍😍

I’m a third year vet student... and this is COMPLETELY different than the foundations we learn. I’m not being critical I was just blown away during your video. We know two separate languages

HS senior: been in school for 13 years: still don't know how I learn or study.

I used to do some of these in 6-7 grade but now I do it just a little because my teacher moves faster and when I get home I’ll most likely forget🖤

we need that case notes video! :) thank you for making this

I've just realised I've been doing uni wrong this whole time; time to actually get this bread and work smarter 💪

"what is this foreign thing called a textbook? Can a uni student afford it?"

This is so interesting and useful for next semester :)

Really love this kind of video. So how encourage me

Thanks this was really helpful

In nursing we have to do a lot of reading. If I did not do the reading on top of the lecture notes, I would have lost 10 percent from each exam as the information was not covered in class.

I feel like studying is personal to how you learn and my method works all it is is very time consuming. I learn by taking notes like word for word and I like to read the reading in depth so it takes me ages

I love this! Just subscribed :) you’re such a cool girl

Can you please list your background music like old times😣😍 I'm in love with themm omg😭❤

I absolutely love your positivity!! And I love the way you mentioned how you think law is as hard as any other course. ! ❤️ Every uni course is difficult, in their own ways. I’m a Film Student - I’m in uni 5 days a week, I have roughly 100 (ish) pages of essential reading a night and about 8 assignments a semester. People always tell me my course is a waste of space & it’s not even close to difficult. I always find highlighting in different colours very effective. Yellow is key dates, Pink is key theories, orange is to look into further info & blue is definitions !! 🤩

Something the helps me for in the lectures where they presents powerpoints is before the lecture I would save the PowerPoint to my macbook and then add text boxes to all the slides and colour code them for there like red text was stuff missing in the powerpoints (for fill in the blank style notes my fav!11!111) and then I used blue texts for stuff the teacher was saying but not in the lecture and then I would use like green for stuff the prof would say was on the exam or hinting at lmao

so so so helpful!! God bless X

That was so helpful! Just wanted to ask if I could apply this method, except using pen and paper in the actual lectures? That may seem like a silly question but is it worth taking hand written notes then synthesising those notes post lecture on a laptop? Also, I mainly have to do this because there isn't room for a giant MacBook Pro to sit on my lap in lectures because our class sizes are enormous! Thank you again!

Quick question; I’m also studying law and I find it difficult to listen to the lecture and write down notes at the same time , does this mean I should have lectures slides before lectures and not take anything down during lecture?

Queen of Law and the fu*king WORLD 😂😘😘😘

What she showed us works for HER, she has her own system which is different for everybody. Over 80% of students use the most inefficient ways to study (which is rereading, highlighing and cramming) These inefficient ways feel like we are doing something productive but the research shows that is not the case. When we see videos with nice notes, that are highlighted, nicely writen and so on, it gives us satisfaction and makes us think that thats the only correct way to learn. I’m not saying you can’t use any of those ways of studying but most of us don’t know how to do it efficiently. Before you start uni, college, high school or you just want to change your learning ways, read about Active recall, Spaced repetition (not gonna put names or links, google or youtube yourself :) ), nobody teaches these things in school for some reason. I hope I’ve helped somebody, because it changed the way I learn in Uni :)

The camera work is really good in this.
