Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Repeating key ideas in one's own words fosters understanding. Understanding is required for laying down neural traces and long-term memory storage. Memorizing is only marginally effective. Learning the definition of all terms may be an excessively large order. Cramming is never advisable.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
This technique is called note making. It is the most effective of the options listed relating to notes.
