Expert Answer

If you're using sticky notes for studying, use them to both highlight what's important and to reiterate that information in your own words. That way you're not just parroting back what you've heard, but actively engaging with what you're learning.

Make them stick only a bit out so they look good and are are easy to carry in a backpack. You can also use different colored sticky notes. The more colors, the better it will look.
