Compress a Textbook Chapter into What Actually Matters

The chapter is thirty pages. You have an exam on Friday. You could read all of it or you could find out what it is actually about. This extracts the three to five load-bearing ideas, the terms you need to know, and the questions it is most likely trying to set up. Then you go back to the full chapter with a map rather than a highlighter.
