How do you study?

Hey everyone this might be a bit of a silly question but it's been a while since I've been in classes consistently and having just taken 271 and now being in 290, I was wondering what everyone's best method for studying is.

I've been taking written notes from the modules because I feel like writing sticks with me, but there is just soooo much content (especially in 271) that it takes me hours and hours just to read through modules, and I end up losing so much time on projects as a result.

What has worked for you in the past // currently! Thx!
