How it's used
Refers specifically to formal handouts or printed materials provided by an instructor during a course or lecture. While it can technically refer to a textbook, it is more commonly used for supplementary materials like outlines, summaries, or exercise sheets. It carries a slightly academic tone and is rarely used for informal study notes written by students themselves.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 筆記, which refers to the notes a student writes down personally during a class. Using 講義 to describe your own handwritten notes will sound unnatural as it implies you are the one teaching the material.
