3. WHAT IS NOTETAKING???
Is the the practice of recording information
captured from a source, such as oral
discussion or lecture or from a printed
page.
Notes are frequently written in
notebooks, through all sorts of paper
may sometimes be used: for instance, for
some people like to use Post – It notes.

4. WHAT TO USE???
 Paper
 Pen/pencil
While, Electronic Notetaking (or
Computer Assisted Notetaking) requires
laptop, often with special notetaking
software

6. NOTETAKING
The growing ubiquity of of laptops in
universities and colleges has led to a rise in
electronic notetaking. Many students write
notes in their word processors. Online word
processor applications are receiving growing
attention for students who can forward notes
using email, or otherwise make use of
collaborative features in these applications
and can also download the texts as a file in a
local computer.

7. NOTETAKING
It requires attention on your
part.
Don’t rely on “writing
everything down”.
Sharpen your listening skills.
Ask question.

8. Here are the some general recommendations
for improving notetaking skills:
1. Read all textbook materials relevant to the topic being covered prior to attending class.
2. Use a standard size notebook.
3. Sit near the front and center of the class.
4. Put a heading and a date on your notes for each day.
5. Take notes selectively .
6. Translate ideas into your own words .
7. Organize notes into some sort of logical form
8. Write legibly.
9. Ask professors who lecture too fast if you can tape record their lecture.
10. Use colors.

METHOD

10. 1. THE CORNELL METHOD
This method provides a systematic
format for considering and
organizing notes without laborious
copying. After writing the notes in
the main space to label each idea
and detail with a key word “cue”.

11. METHOD
Rule your paper with 2 ¼ inch margin on the left
leaving a six-inch area. When the instructor
moves to new point skip a few lines. Complete
phrases and sentences as much as possible. For
every significant bit of information , write a cue
in the left margin. To review, cover your notes
with a car, leaving the cues exposed. Say the cue
out loud, then say as much as you can, move the
card and see if what you said matches what is
written. If you can say it, you know it. 

12. METHOD
Advantages: Organized and systematic
for recording and reviewing notes. Easy
format for pulling out major concepts
and ideas . Simple and efficient. Saves
time and effort.
Disadvantages: None.
When to use: In any lecture situation

13. 2. OUTLINING METHOD
Dash or indented outlining is usually best except
for some science classes such as Physics or Math.
1. The information which is most general begins
at the left with each more specific group of
facts indented with spaces to the right.
2. The relationship between the different parts is
carried out through indenting.
3. No numbers, letters, or Roman numerals are
needed.

14. METHOD
Listen and then write in points and organized
pattern based on space indention. Place major
points farthest to the left. Indent each more
specific point to the right. Levels of importance
will be indicated by distance away from the major
point. Indention can be as simple as or as
complex as labeling the indentations with Roman
numerals or decimals. Markings are not
necessary as space relationships will indicate the
major/minor points.

15. Advantages and Disadvantages
Advantages: Well – organized system if done right. It
reduces editing and is very easy to review by turning main
points into questions.
Disadvantages: Requires more thought in class for
accurate organization. This system may not show
relationships by sequence when needed.
When to use: The outline format can be used if the
lecture is presented in outline organization. This format
can be most effective when your notetaking skills are
super sharp and you can handle the outlining regardless
of the notetaking situation.

16. Example:
Extrasensory Perception
1. Definition: means of perceiving without use of sense organs:
- Three kinds
- Telepathy: sending message
- -clairvoyance: forecasting the future
- Psychokinesis: perceiving events external to situation
2. Current status:
- No current research to support or refute
- Few psychologists say impossible
- Door open to future

17. THE MAPPING METHOD
Is a method that uses
comprehension / concentration
skills and evolves in notetaking
form which relates each fact or
idea to every other fact or idea.

18. Advantages and Disadvantages
Advantages: This format helps you to visually
track your lecture regardless of conditions.
Disadvantages: You may not hear changes in
content from major points to fact.
When to use: Use when the lecture content is
heavy and well-organized . It may also be used
effectively when you have a guest lecturer and
have no idea how the lecture is going to be
presented.

19. Example :
Extrasensory Perceptions
3 types
TELEPATHY CLAIRVOYANCE PSYCHOKINESIS
- sending messages -forecasting the future -perceiving events
external to situation

20. THE CHARTING METHOD
If the lecture format is distinct
(such as chronological), you
may set up your paper by
drawing columns and labeling
appropriate heading in a table.

21. THE CHARTING METHOD
Method: Determine the categories to
be covered in the lecture. Set up your
paper in advance by columns headed
by the categories. As you listen to the
lecture, record information (words,
phrases, main ideas, etc. ) into the
appropriate category.

22. THE CHARTING METHOD
Advantages: Helps you track conversation
and dialogues where you would normally
be confused and lose out on relevant
content.
Disadvantages: There are few
disadvantages except learning how to use
the system and locating the appropriate
categories. You must be able to understand
what’s happening in the lecture

23. THE CHARTING METHOD
When to use: Test will focus on both
facts and relationships. Content is
heavy and presented fast. You want to
reduce the amount of time you spend
editing and reviewing at the test.

24. Example:
PERIOD IMPORTANT PEOPLE EVENTS SIGNIFICANCE
1942-1945 MC ARTHUR WWII LANDING IN LEYTE

25. THE SENTENCE METHOD
Write every new thought ,
fact or topic on a separate
line, numbering as you
progress.

26. Advantages and Disadvantages
Advantages: Slightly more organized than
the paragraph . Gets more information.
Thinking to tract content is still limited.
Disadvantages: Can’t determine
major/minor points from the numbered
sequence. Difficult to edit without having
to rewrite by clustering points which are
related.

27. THE SENTENCE METHOD
When to use:When to use: Use
when the lecture is somewhat
organized., but heavy with content
which comes fast. You can hear
the different points , but you don’t
know how they fit together. The
instructor tends to .

28. Example:
1. The revolution is any occurrence that affects other aspects of life, such as economic life, and so
forth. Therefore revolution cause change. (see page 29 – 30 to see your text about this.)
Notes:
Revolution – occurrence that affects other aspects of life:
e.g. econ., etc., C.f. text, pp 29-30
2. Melville did not try to represent life as it really was. The language of Ahab, Starbuck, and Ishmael,
for instance, was not that of real life.
Notes:
Mel didn’t repr. Life as was; e.g. lang. of Ahab, etc. not of real life.
3. At first, Freud tried conventional, physical methods of treatment such as giving baths, massages, rest
cures, and similar aids. But when these failed, he tried techniques of hypnosis that he had seen used
by Jean-Martin Charcot.

29. Example:
Finally he borrowed an idea from Jean Breurer and used direct verbal
communication to get an unhypnotized patient to reveal unconscious thoughts.
Notes:
Freud 1st – used phys. Trtment, e.g. baths, etc. This fld. 2nd- used hypnosis (fr.
Charcot) finally – used dirct vrb. Commun. (fr. Breurer) – got unhypnop, patnt to
reveal uncns. thoughts.
