  1. Think about your current method for taking notes and studying; write down the different methods you use. Warm Up Exercise:

  2. TAKING LECTURE NOTES BEING PROACTIVE!

  3. Forces you to listen carefully • Test you understanding of the material • For reviewing, provide a gauge to what is important • Personal notes are easier to remember than text • Writing down important points helps you remember before you study the material formally. Why take notes?

  4. Teachers usually give clues to what is important to take down • Material written on the blackboard, proxy, or PowerPoint • Repetition • Emphasis • Word signals • Summaries at end of class • Reviews given at the beginning of class Common Clues:

  5. Suggestions: • Make your notes brief • use phrase instead of sentence; word instead of phrase • use abbreviations and symbols, but be consistent. • Use your own words EXCEPT: • Formulas, definitions & specific facts Develop your own method

  6. Use an outline or numbering system • Indentation helps you distinguish major from minor points • If you miss a statement, write down a key word, skip a few spaces, and get the information later. • Date your notes!!! • Number the pages Outlines or Numbering

  7. Learning to make notes effectively will help you to improve your study and work habits and to remember important information. • Just because you understand information in class means you will remember information later. Write it down! NoteMaking

  8. Don’t write down everything you read or head (listen for main points) • Notes should consist of key words or very short sentences • Take accurate notes • Use your own words but don’t change the meaning • If you quote directly, quote correctly; make note of who said it Hints on Note Making

  9. Omit description and full explanations • Condense your material so you can grasp it rapidly • Don’t worry about missing a point • Don’t keep notes on oddly shaped pieces of paper. Keep notes in binder – in order! • Review your notes NIGHTLY… this is the only way to achieve lasting memory Hints on Note Making

  10. If you don’t understand a concept…ASK • When a question is asked in class… • See if you can answer in your mind • If not is the information in your notes • If it is not, write the information down! • Read current notes nightly until you are tested. Being Proactive
