tiivistelappu

A tiivistelappu, which translates from Finnish as "summary slip" or "abstract note," is a type of note-taking or information management tool. It is typically a small piece of paper or a digital equivalent used to condense larger amounts of information into a more digestible format. The primary purpose of a tiivistelappu is to capture the essential points, key findings, or main ideas of a document, lecture, book, or any other source of information.

These slips are often used in academic settings for studying, research, or preparing for exams. Students might create tiivistelappuja from their lecture notes or textbook chapters to quickly review the most critical concepts. In a professional context, they can be employed for summarizing reports, meeting minutes, or project updates, allowing for rapid comprehension and recall. The concise nature of a tiivistelappu makes it an effective tool for memory retention and for organizing thoughts. The creation of a tiivistelappu requires the user to actively process and synthesize information, which can be a learning process in itself.
