He suggests you stop studying when you feel you have learned the material - that you are eager to get to the exam to see if your guesses about the content were correct. On easier subjects, that should happen earlier.

He does not advocate highlighting with markers. He has a specific style of highlighting which sounds more like collecting notes (with a bibliography) for research or producing a paper. It feels more task-oriented.

He also mentions read-recite-review in the article.

I think explaining the material to another person is a good idea - even if you don't actually do it, if you can rephrase it as if to another audience, it means you've really understood the material. I think that's part of the reason he suggest re-writing notes after class.
