How to Take Notes

  • Stay Organized: Keep different subjects in separate folders or notebooks to avoid confusion. Use colored pens or highlighting to differentiate between topics.
  • Use Abbreviations and Symbols: Develop your own system of shorthand to capture information quickly, this could include abbreviations and symbols.
  • Focus on Keywords: Pay attention to key terms and concepts rather than trying to jot down every word.
  • Use Bullet Points: List information in bullet points, this keeps it concise and easier to review later.
  • Create Visual Aids: Diagrams, charts, and flowcharts can help represent information in a visual format that is easier to understand.
  • Rewrite for Retention: After the lecture or reading, rewrite your notes in your own words. This reinforces what you've learned.
  • Use the Cornell Method: Divide your page into two columns. In the right column, make notes during the lecture, in the left, write questions or keywords after the lecture. This method promotes active learning.
  • Review Regularly: The more often you review your notes, the more you’ll remember the information.
  • Don't Write Down Everything: It's important to be selective. Listen or read first, understand, and then decide what's important to note down.
  • Use Digital Tools: Consider using note-taking apps or digital tools that allow you to take notes quickly and access them from anywhere.
