have it 2 capture info
- 4. MS word

- 9. questions & quotations capture these as you READ
- 10. Choose 2 to 3 quotations: • specific relevance to topic • specially well phrased • preferably short more than 3 lines – use an indented block (See Academic Guidelines page 13)

- 12. make an outline
- 13. an outline is like a map a map is not a photograph or an artist’s impression @@@ a map gives just enough information for finding places
- 14. what you need: • remember what it says • know what’s important • be able to read relevant bits more carefully • be able to find stuff again
- 15. main points • KEY WORDS – single words or very short phrases – important words for topic – tell you main parts of what the author says • if you need more than 12 – either too much detail – or need to do in sections a chapter of a book or a journal article should fit
- 16. sub-points • maximum 3-4 words – explain the main word – give main ideas – list parts • if you need more than 6 – the author has a long list – you have too much detail – you need smaller main points this is a reminder not a summary
