Question

Explain why creating study materials is "half the studying." Defend why, or why not, you think this is an important step in the studying process.

Answer 1

when you create study materials, you are helping reinforce the content, but that's only part of the studying process. you still need to put in the work and review them. that's probably why the phrase "half the studying" applies.

the second part of the question is opinion-based, but from personal experience and research most successful students *do* make study materials of their own instead of just using whatever's given to them
