Oh thanks man,
should i just print it and study them? what other ways of studying notes are there?
Thanks again
Best thing to do is to try and tell a story. Stories make sense because each part connects with the other.
for example if you were to list Australia's prime ministers since the second world war, you could simply try and rote learn it remembering dates and names only ; alternatively you could learn the story of how each political party got into office and the story of their government.
The point im trying to make is that one is intrinsically more useful than the other. Knowing a whole heap of arbitrary facts isn't really knowledge. but knowing why and how something is the way it is, will be more valuable. particularly in economics were you have to tell 'stories' in extended response questions.
I know this might seem a bit fluffy, but its true. Students need to add more storytelling into their responses. Too many students just quote facts and pieces of information but rarely connect the dots. Storytelling allows you to do this.
One nice way to do this is to do a mind map, where you connect different parts of the course. for example you might connect information you have learnt regarding the balance of payments with some info regarding financial dereg. The whole economics course interlinks with itself. for those who study IPT it is like a relational database.
