I just note terms I dont know. I write one or two sentences about concepts. Sometimes, I will go back and rewrite/group common ideas if I notice commonalities. It all depends on the subject matter. When I studied neurology, there was a lot of memorizing- thats just how it is. When I studied philosophy, it was distilling big ideas down to concepts I could remember. When its a completely new subject, like UX design I'm studying now, I use immersion- I took an online course that was a broad overview, wrote down terms I didnt know, subscribed to rss feeds on the subject, found groups, now I'm taking a more detailed course online.
