NOTE TAKING

 

In-lecture Strategies

Here are some ways to improve note-taking during lectures. tmstudent

  • Date and title notes
  • Start note-taking immediately.
  • Sit in the front of the class to hear better and stay focused.
  • Use short telegraphic sentences.
  • Maintain eye contact with the lecturer so that you concentrate on what is being said
  • Create visual images of what the lecturer is saying
  • Watch for the instructor's clues to identify the important information
  • Use abbreviations when possible.
  • Leave blank spaces for missed information
  • Listen for signal words, and phrases such as, first, next, finally, this is important, in summary, to begin, in conclusion, etc.
  • Record as much information as necessary so that your notes are accurate and complete
  • Try to capture all of the general ideas and as many illustrative details as possible
  • If the lecturer speaks too quickly, jot down names, key terms and other important information and supplement your notes afterwards from the text, other student's notes, or handouts.
  • Record your notes in a legible and organized manner. Use paragraph indentations or an outline so that the structure of your notes can help you recall the material.
