Highlight

I try to underline the topic sentence for each section. I do not like the overuse of highlighting. I have seen people highlight entire sections and I wonder what they are thinking because that isn't going to help them study. Plus it looks horrible for re-sale of your books. It is also distracting for other people to read your books when you have hightlighted every thing and not just the main points. I usually just go for the common yellow hightlighter and stick to that one color. It is rare that I will make any ink notes in a book, perhaps a pencil notation once in a while. I just can't seem to get over that lesson from growing up, we don't write in our books!

I abandoned pencils when i found out they werent as effective as highlighters. Im really choosy about the color of the ink as well. Pinks and oranges are definite no nos. Dull blues bearable. I like green the best. I start off with a streak and usually end up doodling.:)
