There are different ways to take notes when you are in school or at home. Two popular approaches are HITO and TITO. But how is HITO different from TITO? Let's find out.
HITO vs. TITO
HITO was used in “Highlight, Inscribe, Take Out” and TITO is “Title, Idea, Topic, Opinion”. ” The distinction is only the order of writing down information. With HITO, you begin by highlighting something, write it out and then back and summarize what you learned. TITO for TITO, the T is the title, I is the main idea, T is the topic, and finally O is your own opinion on the topic.
HITO vs TITO There are several differences between HITO and TITO
Order of information: The key distinction is that of the very fact of how you work. When it comes to emphasising, HITO emphasises the PART{first} and TITO emphasises the TITLE (first).
Summarizing VS Opinion: HITO helps in summarizing after writing and TITO helps to in opinion thinking after writing the main idea.
