Basically the question in the title!
I've done a short course at a university for work. I've got through the essays with the help of my textbook and class notes, but now I need to earn all the material for the (closed-book) exam.
I've made a list of all the topics covered in the lectures, but I have realised I don't really know what to do next. Do I write notes about everything? Do I make flashcards? It seems so stupid but I don't know how to make the information go from the slides/notes into my brain.
For context, I graduated university more than 10 years ago. Back then I wasn't diagnosed, and got through my exams through some panic-driven cramming and loads and loads of caffeine. I am trying to take a more mature approach this time, and I'd love some tips!
