The 80% Rules Students spend 80% of class time listening to lectures 80% of what is not noted is forgotten after two weeks
3
Listen; Don’t Just Write You have to be able to listen as well as record notes Listen for understanding, not just to take notes
4
General Note-Taking Tips Separate out reading notes, lecture notes, and homework in your notebook Draw pictures when helpful Record enough so you can remember what was being said Don’t assume you will remember information without writing it down
5
Abbreviations Develop your own personal abbreviations They can be different for each class Three types Common Discipline Specific Personal
6
Abbreviations Common @ & Discipline Specific e - P Personal Anything (make yourself a key as you develop your own abbreviations)
7
Methods of Note-taking
8
How do you take notes?
9
Cornell Method
10
Cornell Setup Set your notes page up like this for the Cornell method It seems like a lot of paper, but the blank spaces will be filled later on
11
The Six “R”s of the Cornell Method Record Reduce Recite Reflect Review Recapitulate Name
12
The First Three “R”s Record the notes in paragraph form in the note-taking area Reduce the paragraphs to key words/key phrases in the cue column area Recite the information from the paragraph notes looking only at the key words/phrases
13
The Last Three “R”s Reflect on the information to come up with your own ideas Review the notes about once a week Recapitulate (summarize) the entire page in a few lines in the summaries area
15
The Charting Method
16
Charting Similar to the Cornell Method Fill in all columns at the same time
17
The Outlining Method
18
Outlining Start with the more general information on the far left Indent as the information is more specific The relationships between the different parts is carried out through indenting. No numbers, letters, or Roman numerals are needed, but can be used
19
Outlining Best for science classes Have to think about what you are writing and make it make sense Make sure that there is enough time to think about the points in the lecture
21
The Sentence Method
22
Sentence Method Write every new point on a different line Number the lines Use when the professor teaches in points without grouping those points Most likely going to have to rewrite notes to be able to understand them much later
23
The Sentence Method Example
24
The Mapping Method
25
Mapping Method Easy to see relationships As things get broken down, they make new levels of the map
27
When to use which method Cornell Any class Charting History Science Mapping Any class Sentence Any class Outlining Chemistry Social Sciences
28
Note-Taking from the Book
29
Taking Notes from a Textbook Read the entire section first then take notes on that section Put the notes in your own words Write only enough detail to understand
30
Notes from the Book When reading use the divisions already present in the book Read one section then take notes on it When marking in the book don’t highlight too much If an entire paragraph is important, put brackets around it
31
SQ3R
32
SQ3R SQ3R – technique to help you grasp ideas quickly, remember and review effectively S – Survey Q – Question R – Read R – Recite R – Review Particularly helpful for studying textbooks Helps you be an active reader
33
Survey Read the Chapter title and headings Read the questions at the end Read the bold terms
34
Question Turn the headings into questions that you can answer later Write these questions down
35
Read Mark the text after you have read the material Highlight only key terms and concepts Read the figures and tables Avoid over-marking Write notes in the margins of the book Highlighting does not equal learning
36
Recite Answer all of the questions you came up with out loud Answer all of the questions at the end of the chapter See, Say, Hear, Write
