Student Note-Taking Techniques |
|
|
Particularly when you start university, or even at high school level, note-taking can be a difficult skill to master. Deciding as a lecturer speaks what is the most important information to write so that you can review it later. Many students try to write everything down, which means they don't have the time to take everything in and have to then re-read their notes later to learn it, doubling the time they need to spend.
Chris Lang came up with a unique, note-taking style -- which allowed him to only record things after he had listened to (and understood) the lecturer's point. As the result: his notes were of a style and layout, to make revision in a breeze; plus any extra information (gleaned from library reading) could be easily incorporated later.
He has set out his techniques in the Your Future Success study guide, so other students can learn how to take notes effectively. Following are some of the points included:
