  21. Tips for Note-Taking • Use words or images to help you remember the relationships between ideas. • Use numbered lists. • Abbreviate as you like. Develop a system of abbreviation you can use in all your classes!

  23. Paraphrase Technique: Flesh It Out • Best for content of paragraphs or longer passages you must understand in entirety • Read and mark the passage • Reduce the text to an outline, map, list, or Cornell notes • Rewrite the details in paragraph form

  24. Paraphrase Technique: Switch It, Flip It, Tweak It This paraphrase technique works by • Switching key words with synonyms • Flipping the order of clauses or phrases • Tweaking the wording until you get a nice-sounding sentence.
