I have a few loose papers in this clear pocket

and they're probably things like

mind maps and small summaries that I made

when I was studying for my exams

um, these are just a few notes on the textbook I was reading at the time

and

these are just really quick mind maps with questions

um

and just

small study guides that I used when I was studying for my finals

and they were

and they really came in handy when I needed to just

jot down a few notes on

important things I needed to get done before my exams

And if I remember well these were mind maps

that summarize all of the information I needed to know

for my criminal law exam

and they were very ugly mind maps

and I was just using

a really plain

uh

yellow neon highlighter

but

they were good enough for me just to make sure that

that I was studying all of my chapters as I needed to

and I knew all the information I needed to know

So the first thing I have in here

is my labor law notes

and these are all notes that I was taking on my laptop

through my lectures

um, and this was the first semester where I

actually started to type my entire notes on my computer

So as you can see

there's a bit of a mess a color mess in here

because

I studied from these notes for different tests

different quizzes and my final exams

so

I always highlighted different things

throughout all the times I was studying for those different exams

and as you can see

I always have a few notes on the margins

and those yellow marks on the margins are actually things I need to remember

as definitions because

our final exam was mainly based on definitions

which was something that normally never happens in law school

so

I had a really tough time remembering all of those things

So I just marked them with yellow

so I remembered while I was studying that I

needed to know that by heart

A few of these pages are actually a mess because

I started to incorporate textbook notes in here

and

In the end of the semester I found out that

I was really missing some information

Uh, for some lectures that I wasn't able to attend

because I was sick

and sometimes information that I was missing

was more thorough than in others

and that's why I have that whole page that you've just seen

with

um

with regular notes

Uh, like I usually do with my textbooks

And now I have my discussion notes

Uh these are all discussion classes

where we needed to solve cases

and discuss case law

so

we didn't need to really study from here but

it's still nice to have those, uh, those notes when

in your binder so you can compare it with your

lecture notes

and just make sure to also

cover that material while you're studying for your finals

And this is the criminal law tab of my binder

which is very similar and I will just

cut off a part of my footage

so you don't have repeated footage

because all my notes are really identical

so

there's really nothing new to see here

just the same scheme

the same

um

format

I have a few mind maps though and that's why

I'm showing you this in a different angle

uh

things like abstract concepts

which are very common in criminal law

are very easy

to

um

I mean

you can understand them much better if you just

connect them with mind maps

because you understand how everything works together

without just relying on

extensive information

and

as you can see here

I think they're very handy because

they also summarize everything you learned throughout the semester

and

it's just something good to look at before you go to bed

or right before your exam so you

make sure that you know everything you need to know

These are also a few textbook notes that I made last minute

uh

and I tried to incorporate them with my

other typed notes and my mind maps

And as you can see what I like about

typed notes is that your binder

is just more

much more clean

If you compare it with with my

if you compare it with my last binder

to

from

2015

um

everything is a lot neater

I understand where things are going

and

I mean

I'd really prefer it this way and I really don't

want to go back to handwritten notes

because I never

I can never keep up with this minimal look

when I'm handwriting my notes

And this is actually

um

another subject

which I didn't take any notes

basically

on my lectures

just the discussion notes which you are seeing right now

and this is not a really interesting section

of my binder because

I didn't work as hard as I wanted for this subject

so

as you can see it's pretty boring in here

Finally we have some constitutional law notes

and these are just syllabi

and an index for all the topics I needed to learn

for this subject

and they were provided by our teachers

and these are just plain lecture notes

and this was a very theoretical class

so

mainly we were learning

um

all of our content

in theoretical classes

and even our discussion was pretty much theoretical

These are lecture notes with few handwritten notes

um

some tables

and some questions

and in the back there's my discussion

and if you can't see

I don't know if you can see it

on screen

but

some of that is actually written in blue

and that's our

and those are my solutions for some cases

that we needed to solve in class and present

and I normally type that in blue so I can compare it

with my class solution

and this is just an article that I had in the back of my binder

and I kept it in there so I can consult it

further on

and

I'm not actually sure of what this is

I think these are just random notes that I kept in the back of my binder

if I ever needed to access them

but they didn't really fit anywhere

so I just clipped them in the back of my binder

And that is all!

I hope if you enjoyed this video

and that it wasn't too boring

and I'll see you next week

Bye!
