16:29 -!- Irssi: Starting query in blinkenshell with ThePhysicist
16:29 <ThePhysicist> http://www.jassatpod.byethost5.com/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Site.BookLog
16:29 <ThePhysicist> How can I improve my reading notes?
16:29 <Utopiah> yes
16:29 <Utopiah> add questions
16:30 <Utopiah> questions raised before reading the book (thus why you were interested in it)
16:30 <Utopiah> during the book (and thanks to what chapter/sentence/concept)
16:31 <ThePhysicist> okay
16:31 <Utopiah> add more links to related books/courses/...
16:31 <Utopiah> in order to connect the book
16:31 <Utopiah> since no book is an island
16:31 <Utopiah> it should be easy
16:31 <Utopiah> it forces you to "step back"
16:31 <Utopiah> and see the biggest picture
16:32 <Utopiah> and eventually allow you to critic it
16:32 <Utopiah> (which isn't easy when you allow the author to follow his flow)
16:34 <Utopiah> linking to reviews can help a lot for that too
16:35 <Utopiah> as reviewers tend to confront concepts from a book to alternative paradigms
16:35 <Utopiah> while the author rarely do so objectively
16:36 <Utopiah> what would be very nice could be to add related exercises you've completed
16:36 <Utopiah> (if it applies)
16:36 <Utopiah> or videos of experiments that "show" the coherent of the concepts explained, I find that visualization helps to memorize a lot
16:41 <Utopiah> I should do it too, at least the cover for example
16:41 <Utopiah> or the "central schema" of each book
17:24 <ThePhysicist> What do you mean by central schema?
17:26 <ThePhysicist> I need to go now but will check later for you answer to above
18:37 <ThePhysicist> Bacvk.
21:01 <Utopiah> I mean a visual that synthesis the main concept of the book
14:23 <ThePhysicist> Hey.
14:23 <ThePhysicist> We are expecting more snow here tomorrow.
