It explains that the right side of the notebook is for input such as class notes, handouts, and homework, while the left side is for output such as reviews, previews, responses, entries, and exercises to explain and expand on the input. It then gives examples of taking reading notes, writing reviews and previews, creating diagrams and charts as "work it outs", and writing journal responses to express opinions on the class topics.
