Students who are fairly well organized are better students.
Here are some tips for being organized with your note taking to make
it more effective:
Use a ring binder or pocketed folder and three-holed lined paper. Date
all the pages and give the topic or name of the lecture or class
presentation at the top of the page
|
notes
Topic
date
|
|
main ideas
|
questions
|
|
- Use one half of your sheet for notes Divide the
bottom half into two columns, one for jotting down main ideas
after the class and the other column for questions
- Review your notes within 6-12 hours after the class
session. Summarize on the back of the page what you learned in
the class. List the main ideas and questions you have on the
front of the page. See what points need clarification.
-
Exchange notes with another student in the class
to check that you got all the important points.
-
When you return to class, ask questions about
the matters you don't understand
-
When you get class handouts, date them and
indicate the topic or class presentation. Put them in order in
your binder/folder.
