Study Tip: Rewrite Lecture Notes
Here's what I found helpful when I was in college. The notes I took during lecture were usually messy, and could be hard to read and study from. Therefore, I would rewrite my lecture notes. I would use 3-4 different color pens (to help highlight important words, concepts, etc.). I rewrote the notes on loose leaf paper so I could easily access them in a binder. I always tried to rewrite the notes within a day or so of lecture, so that the information was still relatively fresh in my head.
I found this to be a great study tool, both as I rewrote the notes and when it came to studying for exams. After I had completed the classes, I kept all my notes. I found that I used them for reference for other classes (especially those in my major) and for tutoring other students.

I also did this and it helps tremendously! I also realized that just the act of writing the information over again helped me to remember it much better. Great tip!

I am a college lecturer and this is a great idea! Alot of my students use this idea (colored pens). Also, writing SOS next to important points proves invaluable for them!

I did this too, back in the early sixties.
