It's really important to take notes when following a lesson on a textbook or really thick handouts.. :) Make it easy to mark your notes by using a post-it notepad like this one. Paste them on each page that you want to write tips about and leave a little lip hanging out from the edge of the page, so you can come back to it later.
That way you don't mark your books with high-lighters or writings that will damage them, and you will be able to sell them or lend them with ease.
Another tip: once you are done with the notes you can archive them for a future quiz if you re-post them on your 3 ring binder for that subject. Make sure you put the date on the right top corner to keep them in order :)
