Why transcribing lectures into notes isn't enough
Simply having a wall of text from your professor's lecture doesn't mean you've actually learned the material. Information overload happens when you try to read through a 60-minute transcript without any structure or focus.
Transcripts lack hierarchy, making it impossible to find the most important exam topics quickly.
Passive reading leads to low retention; you need to engage with the content to move it to long-term memory.
Searching through raw text for a specific concept is a massive time-sink during finals week.
Quick win: Use the search function within your Duetoday transcript to jump directly to the exact moment a specific keyword was mentioned.
Common mistake: Thinking a verbatim transcript is the same as a study guide. One is data; the other is knowledge.
