2. I rarely mark the actual text itself. I put a little line in the outer margin next to passages that I might want someday. For things that I could imagine quoting, I draw a star. This makes it so I can flip through a book quickly and find important parts.
3. Last but not least: if I am reviewing a book, I write a short sentence summary of the chapter and my thoughts on it in the whitespace at the end of the chapter. This makes it very easy, when I am done, to quickly get a view from above. All of this is for what it is worth!
I do this as well (placing a star so I can find it easily). I've found that I only highlight passages that are really quotable. Otherwise, I just underline in pencil. The sentence summary is a great idea. I'm going to start doing that. Thanks for giving me all your strategies!
I underline, star, make notes, react angrily, highlight. The sentence or so chapter summary is a great idea. I figure the students can live with my marginalia if I have to scan it tho I have reduced my writing of profanity in books for this reason.pic.twitter.com/HA0Rmi5Kux
The problem I have with students and marginalia is not so much that I am embarrassed or anything (though me of 15 years ago sometimes wrote dumb things), but because I want them to write their own marginalia, have their own dumb thoughts, and not be burdened by mine! :-)
(I wonder how the ones who use digital copies only deal with marginalia? I have never asked. I always offer to print out copies for students who like having them on paper, and writing on them. Most don't, but a few do, and I am happy to cater to those few!)
Just convert to Kindle format and hilight/write notes to your hearts content...
In my experience the PDF to Kindle thing doesn't work out well. (There are ways to draw on PDFs with iPads and etc. but in my experience they are pretty clunky.)
