Taking notes is essential for success in the second semester. Students should watch the video on different note-taking methods and choose the style that works best for them, as there will be note checks that count towards grades. Planning for the week is also important and requires an organizational tool like a to-do list, calendar, planner, or whiteboard to keep track of assignments. Journals are for free writing without grades. This semester promises to be great with the proper preparation and note-taking.
