In my first year of university, other students showed me how highlighting made studying so much better. I bought a highliter marker, and started highlighting all those paragraphs that I found to be illuminating and important. Returning to those sections over the term, I would finally get what some paragraph was trying to tell me, and then highlight that too. By the time I was well into studying for the final exams, I realized that I had highlighted those parts I understood, and that it was the bits left unhighlighted that were the most subtle and important in the texts (at least for anticipating the tough questions in the exams). That was an embarrassing revelation, and I stopped highlighting after that. So, there's no way I'm going to highlight stuff for anyone else to see, either.
