I was wondering if there is any compelling reason to read the assigned book instead of lecture notes either from the actually professor of the course you are taking or from another another source online as opposed to the book if they seem to cover the same material.
Currently, I in my 3 "real classes" I am using three different strategies based on the quality of the materials. For example
Class 1-
Book is overly verbose too time consuming to extract concepts, but is needed for homework.
Using my professors lecture notes and supplementing with ones I found online from another school which are very complete.
Class 2-
Book is good but not strictly followed using a hybrid of the book and professors lecture notes.
Class 3-
Mostly just reading through book.
How does this sound?
