What is note taking???

💓Writing down ideas from lectures and readings in our own words

Why take notes?

💛Helps us to pay attention in class

💛Helps us study for quiz, tests/ final exam

💛Helps us improve our memory

💛Helps us take ownership of ideas

💛Helps us engage our senses

💛Helps us organize and process data and information

💛Helps the lecturers test students on how well their captured given information.

Why review notes?

💗We lose 80% of what we hear if it is not reviewed within in a few hours

💗Identify any questions for peers, the next class, or ask the professor

💗There is not enough time to absorb all the information given in class if it's not reviewed on a regular        basis

💗Think : " if I were tested on this lecture tomorrow would I ace it? " Make it so !

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~TAKE TIME EVERY DAY TO REVIEW NOTES~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Why " recapture " notes after class?

Frees you up to write in quick, shorthand during class 💅

💫An excellent test-prep strategy for reinforcing information better than re-copying, this time you're digesting & rephrasing

Great for Kinesthetic learners

Can catch??s, gaps, look-up words

Prompts higher-level questions

Saves hours of studying and review the days before test

While taking notes

👍Be an aggressive, not a passive, listener

• if not , jot question in your notes
• seek out meaning

Key action to note as you OBSERVE your instructor

💀Be alert to repetition - when an instructor repeats a specific point, make a note of it

💀Watch the board or overhead projector - If an instructor writes something down, the material is   

     important 

💀Notice the instructor's interest level - If the instructor is excited about something, it is likely to be       on an exam        

💀Let go of judgement about lecture styles - Don't let your attitude about an instructor's style

 get in the way of your education

What happens when your instructor isn't too interesting *tips

👌When you notice your attention slipping, pay attention to the ACT of writing

👌Ask questions - Chances are, the question you think is 'dumb' is on the mind of the several classmates

👌Volunteer for - demonstration and discussion

👌Sit in front of the room - It has been proven that students who sit close to the front are more likely to do better on tests because:

• it is harder to fall asleep
• the board is easier to read
• the instructor can see you more easily

*Also when you sit in front, you are declaring your willingness to take a risk and participate*
