While highlighting can be a useful strategy, especially when done thoughtfully, skipping all the examples to focus only on main points might be less effective. This is because examples often provide context, details, and real-world applications that can enhance understanding and aid in memory retention. Simply highlighting main points without considering supporting examples may result in a less comprehensive and less retained understanding of the material.
