Taking Effective Notes


WHAT IS NOTES TAKING?
Writing down ideas from lectures and readings in our own words .

WHY WE MUST TAKE NOTES?
  • help us to pay attention in class
  • help us study for quiz/final exam
  • help us to improve our memory
  • help the lecturers test students on how well they captured given information
WHY WE MUST REVIEW NOTES?
  • we lost 80% of what we hear if it is not reviewed within a few hours 
  • identify any question for peers, the next class or to ask the professort
  • there is not enough time to absorb all the information given  in class if it's not reviewed on a regular basic
  • think "If I were tested on this lecture tomorrow, would I ace it? " make it so!
WHAT MATERIALS DO WE NEED?
  • loose-leaf paper
  • binder
  • folders with pocket
  • pen, pencils, erasers & etc
BEFORE CLASS
  • review the notes
  • review your reading assignment
  • make sure have materials do we need
  • write the on the top of your notes
  • leave spaces between the lines to add information later
PHYSICAL FACTOR
  • SEATING - near the front & center , avoid distraction
HOW DO WE TAKE NOTES?
  • date and label notes
  • give ourselves space to write
  • use abbreviations and symbols
  • use an outline to show
  • use our own language
