We've been assigned a daily quota of 30+ pages of reading, each week for our classes. I can't take time to reach each individual line, but is there a trick that works well for others. For instance, do you take notes, do you watch companion videos on YouTube


I'm trying to develop a system for me to read these pages and remember key points about them??

It depends entirely on what you're reading and how bulky those 30 pages are. Likewise it depends on whether or not this is legitimately necessary reading ( Ask your second years this).
If you're reading Robbins then you need to either read it 2 to 3 times and make an outline and watch pathoma. If it's a generic physiology text then reading it once and highlighting and then going back to either reread it or make a very short outline is enough generally.
 
30 pages of reading for each class or total?
