They are especially useful for students whose note-taking in lesson isn’t as good as others, or whose organisational skills mean they are missing notes/handouts on certain topics/areas. These notes will certainly help reduce the time it takes them to catch up with their peers, and also students like to use these as a checklist of topics to go into in further detail.

Hopefully these notes help to save your students (and you!) some time in the hectic run up to exams. Thanks for taking a look :)
