I found some of my algebra notes, the color-coding scheme hadn't taken off at this point, this link should take you to the archive.
Like I said though, for better results, I just print out the info and keep it posted on the wall.

People say it's better to just google what you need to know, and in some cases, they're right; but when you're on a learning curve, and you know what the information you want to learn is, it makes more sense to have as much of it available for instant recall as possible or at least necessary.

Making reference material suites my learning style well because it has me actively go over the information instead of passively accepting it. When I share it, people will point out any mistakes I might make. Plus afterwards, it takes down another learning obstacle and frees me up to focus on the problem itself.

I'm not sure what are all the styles.
One of my professor's styles is this:
"What is the partial derivative of S sup k, n to the l+1, sub h, i with respect to Wij sup n to the l+1 plus 1?"

sup k as in supremum, or sub k as in k is in the subscript of S?

superscript k, n to the l+1
subscript h, i

The letters are always changing in real-time, I learned it is best not to pay too much attention to them.
