Writing a summary of discussion of a paper is for me a very effective study skill, making me engage with the material and having to think about it in detail. It also requires me to reexamine a text, particularly focusing on what I considered to be important during the first read through. It also provides me with ready made notes and reminders for when I need to draw on the material again.
I've fallen off the wagon over the past few weeks due to various factors. I've found my previous blog posts to be hugely helpful for my current essay, so once the current coursework crunch is out of the way I intend to be more disciplined in making a post covering a paper I have just read.
