Note-Taking Strategies Part 2




During class
One approach that has been proven effective is called the Cornell note-taking system. Here are some of its methods. Start by using the main section of your page to take down your notes during class. Be sure to leave space on the left side of the page and the bottom. Things to keep in mind:
1.   Get the speakers main points. Don’t write down every word you hear.
2.   Leave blanks in your notes to add explanations later.
3.   Organize as you write. Pay attention to cures such as repetition and emphasis
4. Indicate main & supporting points as you go.
5. Jot down key vocabulary, important facts & formulas,
6. Ask questions. If you’re confused, its better to ask while the material is fresh in your mind.
