This document provides instructions for taking notes on index cards. It explains that index cards should be used to [1] organize notes by subject, [2] record the author's name and page number, and [3] summarize information in your own words. An example index card contains the author's last name, a summarized fact written in the student's own words citing the page number, and the subject the fact relates to. Students are directed to complete 30 index cards, each containing a single fact, to practice this note-taking method.
