Please recall and adhere to these established procedures: The purpose of reading our chemistry text and taking some notes is to learn about chemistry, not to bury oneself in details, nor to get credit for doing an activity.  The PQ5R or SQ5R technique for reading expository literature that has been taught is designed to help you to read informational literature more quickly by finding a single point of focus to concentrate on while reading.  The note taking techniques that we have studied are to equip you with the tools of note taking for you to increase your comprehension and to record and review the big ideas on your own, not to weigh you down with a whole lot of note taking!  Reading informational literature for the main idea needs to be done regardless of the format used.   When the assignment says use the PQ5R or SQ5R method, if it helps you more to focus on understanding and reflecting on the content,...
