That learning how to take notes would be a
waste of time. However, the opposite is true. If
you learn how to take notes effectively and
efficiently, you’ll save yourself hours of study
time just by observing a few simple tricks.
Although tablets, and notepads look
cool...I still prefer the old school way of
paper and pencil. they’re reliably faster,
flexible in special notations and ..doesn’t
run out of batteries.
 Choosing loose paper to take notes allows
you to rearrange your notes in a binder if
necessary, lend them easily to a friend, and
remove and replace a page if it gets
damaged.
 Using college-ruled paper means that the
spaces between the lines are smaller,
allowing you to write more per page, which
is advantageous when you’re studying a lot
of material. It won’t seem as much, and
thus, as overwhelming.
 Skip lines...so you can squeeze in notes
when the teacher suddenly mentions
something new..
 And, if you take your notes in pencil,
your notes will stay neat if you make a
mistake and you won’t have to rewrite
everything just to make sense of the
lecture.
 Start with the topic of the discussion (for
study purposes later), fill in the date,
class, chapters associated with the notes
and teacher’s name. At the end of your
notes for the day, draw a line crossing the
page so you’ll have a very clear
demarcation of each day’s notes. During
the next lecture, use same format so your
binder is consistent.
Many people use an outline (I.II.III. A.B.C.
1.2.3.) but you can use circles or stars or
whatever symbols you'd like, as long as
you stay consistent.
 Note keywords
 Listen for importance by picking up dates, new
terms or vocabulary, concepts, names, and
explanations of ideas. If your teacher writes it
down anywhere, he or she wants you to know it.
If she talks about it for 15 minutes, she’s gonna
quiz you on it. If he repeats it several times in
the lecture, you’re responsible.
If you try to write everything down word
for word, you’ll miss stuff, and confuse
yourself.
Listen attentively, then write.
 Sit near the front of the class
 Use a good pen like the Pilot Dr. Grip if
writing in pencil will bother you
 Keep a folder or binder for every class, so
you're more likely to keep your notes
organized.
