So in my CS class we have this textbook. Supposedly we're supposed to read it I think? I'm not sure. The assignment simply says "read chapter 1". However the professor has already made a power point presentation of the notes for the chapter. I'm basically trying to figure out what the best way to go about it is. Chapters are kind of long. Anyway I have 3 options:
1. Read chapter and take personal notes
2. Read chapter and use professors notes
3. Don't read chapter and only read and use professor's notes
I mean obviously the 1st sounds best but I'm thinking it might be overkill. Stupid question I know but I'm trying to figure out how to study best. Want to get all A's.

Why can't you do all of them? Read the chapter, take notes, take notes on the professor's notes, study all of your notes. Then make practice tests to quiz yourself.

Read chapter, take personal notes, compare to professor's notes.

These. Professors don't get you to do all of it for no reason.

CS student here, just skim the chapter and take notes in class. I guarantee that most of the actual learning you will do for this course will be through Google and Stackoverflow.

What part of "Read the book" do you have trouble understanding? The prof's lectures are meant to be a guideline to the major points, to help you follow the book's logic, but not to cover every detail. And trust me - it's those details you'll be tested on.
