Note taking
Taking effective notes involves selectively recording only the most important and relevant information from a source in a structured format. Notes should be concise but allow for review and integration with one's own knowledge. Different organizational methods like outlining, concept maps, charts or abbreviations can help focus on key points and trigger memory later for studying. The goal is to efficiently capture the essence while filtering out unnecessary details.
