Finding the Right Type of Study Aid for You

While they are no replacement for reading the materials and creating your own class outline, study aids can help you prepare for class, review key concepts and get ready for exams.

You may have also heard about certain series that your colleagues recommend, like Examples and Explanations, the Understanding Series, or Emanuel Law Outlines.
