The document discusses different note taking and outlining methods. It describes the Cornell note taking system which provides a systematic format for organizing notes in class. The outlining method uses indentation to organize major and minor points. Mapping creates a graphic presentation of lecture content. Charting sets up columns to categorize information. The sentence method writes each thought on a separate line. Outlining creates a blueprint to construct a unified essay, with types including topic, sentence, and mixed outlines.

1. NOTE TAKING
AND
OUTLINING

2. NOTE TAKING SYSTEM
• Note taking is the practice of writing down or
otherwise recording key points of
imformation.
• It is the important part of research

3. I. The Cornell Method
• provides a Systematic
format for condensing
and organazing notes
without laborious
recopying
Example of Cornell method

4. A. Method - during class, take down notes in 6 inch area in
the right . when the instructor moves to other point skip few
lines, After class complete phrases and sentences as soon as
possible.
B. Advantages - Organized and Systematic for recording
and reviewing notes. Simple and Efficient. "Do-it-right-in-the-
first-place" system
C. When to use - In any lecture situation

5. II. The Outlining Method
• dash and intended
outlining is usall best
expect in some
science classes such
as physics and math

6. A. Method - listening the write in points in an organized
patterns based on space indention. markings is not necessary
as space relationships will indicates major/minor points.
B. Advantages - well-organized system if done right. Its
also reducing editing and easy to review by turning main
points into questions
C. Disadvantages - requires more thought in class for
accurate organization. The system cannot be used if the
lecture is too fast
D. When to use - the outline format can be used if
the lecture present in outline organization.

7. III. The Mapping Method
• Mapping is the method
that uses
comprehensions/concemtr
ation skills and evolves in a
note taking form
• Mapping method is a graphic presentation of content
of a lecture

8. A. Advantages - This format helps you to visually tract the

C. When to use - Use when the lecture content is heavy and
well- organized. May also be used im effectively when you
have a guest lecturer and have no idea how the ecture is going
to present

9. IV. The Charting Method
• if the lecture format is distinct (such a
Chornological), you may set up the paper by
drawing columns and labeling appropriate
headings in a table

10. A. Method - Determine the categories to be covered in
lecture. As you listen to the lecture, record informarion
(words,phrases, main idea, etc.) Into appropriate category
.
B. Advantages - Helps track conversationand dialogues
where you would normally be confused ang lose out on
relevant content
C. Disadvantages - Few disadvantages except learning
how to use the system and locatimg the appropriate
categories

on one big paper sequence

11. V. The Sentence Method
Example of Sentence Method

12. A. Method - Write every thought, fact or topic on a
separate line, numbering as you progress.
B. Advantages - slightly more organized than the
paragaph. Gets more or all of the information. Thinking to
tract content is still limited
C. Disadvantages - Can't determine Major/minor points
from the number sequence. Difficuilt to review unless
editing cleans up relationship
D. When to use - when the lecture is somewhat
organized, but heavy with content which comes fast.

13. OUTLINING
• An outline is basically a blueprint of some more help
the writer construct a more unified and a better
organized ideo of a composition or essay
• An Outline is a summary that gives the essential

18. 4. Paragraph Outlining - list the topic ideas of each
paragraph in order

19. B. SAMPLE FORMAT
FOR OUTLINING

20. 1. Numerical form or Roman Numeral

21. 2. Arabic form or dewey decemal

22. 3. Alphanumeric form
