    Rewriting notes is an effective study technique that helps with memorization and review. When students rewrite their notes, they are forced to read the material multiple times, processing it in a more detailed way which helps commit the information to memory. The physical act of writing notes by hand stimulates areas of the brain that improve learning and retention more so than typing notes on a device. Rewriting notes allows students to improve and customize their notes by filling in gaps and keeping content up-to-date, providing better material for reviewing throughout the school year.

    Rewriting is a Good Way of Reviewing

    Study Material

    Numerous numbers of students attend umpteen classes and lectures in a single


    semester. Many of those students find it difficult to remember various lectures while
    preparing for the exam. The process of learning is perplexing but studies show that the most
    effective technique for studying involves highly active behavior over a period of time. In
    other words, to study effectively, one must read, draw, process and rewrite notes, memorize
    and test oneself overtime (Fleming, 2019).

             Rewriting notes is a good way to study. Students can easily remember and review
    lectures by redrafting it. According to Lifehack org., “Writing things down appears to help
    us remember the important stuff. The better the notes are the more likely we are to
    remember”.

    Rewriting makes students read notes repeatedly, which is good for memorizing
    words. It forces the brain to process information in a more detailed way, which helps to
    successfully load information into the memory. When a person writes something with a pen
    and paper, he is stimulating a collection of cells in the base of his brain known as the
    Reticular Activating System. The RAS filters information needed by the brain to process.
    The physical act of writing brings the information to the forefront and triggers the brain to
    pay attention. In comparison with typing notes through gadgets, writing improves learning
    and retention. In the study published by Mueller and Oppenheimer in Psychological
    Science, Los Angeles sought to test how note-taking by hand or by computer affects
    learning. They found that laptop users did worse in conceptual application questions
    compared to those who write by hand. They concluded that taking notes using pen and
    paper help students to perform better.
    Simply taking notes cannot boost the academic performance of the student. They
    must explore ways to use the lecture notes as a powerful tool to acquire knowledge and
    improve grades. When rewriting notes, he does not recopy the lecture captured within the
    class. Instead, it requires the student to improve and customize notes by writing information
    once again (Sawai, 2019). Many students rewrite notes to fill in the missing content and
    keep the lecture up-to-date. This will therefore give the students a better reviewing material
    along the whole school year.
