How frequently should I be doing the ‘output’ side of my notebook?

Every time something is added to the right hand side (input) you should do something on the left hand side that night.

What should I do on the left hand side?

It is your choice what you do. This list provided gives some short/quick options to show what you understand so far and some more in-depth options that will allow you to show a deeper understanding.

You should use a variety of options and will be required to do one of the more in depth options at the end of each unit.
