How To Organize Textbook Notes In RemNote

📕 Textbook Notes

RemNote is a program that encourages hierarchical note-taking, knowledge-management and flashcard generation — a one, two, three punch for learners from initial data to organization to retention. Alongside life-learners, students can especially benefit from RemNote’s features. Here is how a user can best organize textbook information.

Make each textbook a folder

Make each chapter/section a document

divide document into chapter subsection documents as well, thus turning chapters into folders.

This is in order to choose to study only subsection Rems.

Parent-child bullet point relationships pack into summarized chunks inside subsection documents. There are different ways to setup notes within each subsection that will be transferred to flashcards [Reference image above].

1. Non-flashcard notes are written in bullet points as plain text.

2. Concepts with only a single definition (Concept:: Definition)

3. Concepts with multiple child descriptors (Concept::: [press enter])

4. Concepts with a single definition and child concepts (Concept:: Definition ... [enter+tab] more concepts and descriptors that relate to the parent)

Include snapshots of important diagrams and implement image occlusion

Click on image and hide elements [press A and drag over elements you want to hide]

Next, implement tags

For example, add #focus to concepts that need more explanation outside the textbook or are generally challenging to you.

Click the tag, navigate to its page, and queue a separate flashcard deck for concepts that are only labelled “focus.”

Create Specialized Decks For Key Terms

In the same way, tag concepts that are key terms, vocab or even important dates.

As Well, Use Highlight Colors To Categorize Understanding

Inside a “highlight” page, all highlights will allocate into separate pages. Upon clicking each color, a queue can be triggered. Or, queue all highlights.

Search “highlight” located at the bottom of your workspace to create a portal.
