In
order to be effective in note-taking, one must attend his or her classes
promptly without any failures. When attending a class you must be fully
prepared with your note books, writing materials and writing pens. The use of note
books which are easily moved from one page to another facilitates revision of
the learnt topic to be possible. Highlight the important topics and words which
you might refer to, at later date or hour.
To make sure you’re fully prepared,
read materials or notes that were given at a later date by the lecturer.
Improving your skills of listening is also important; this can only be achieved
by having a positive attitude towards education and class attendance. Always
focus since no learning takes place without focus. Being adaptive in class also
helps a big role in enhancing effective note making. In order to achieve effective note taking, you
must come up with or rather develop a note taking style that suit you. This can
be achieved by starting fresh notes on a fresh page, dating you work and
leaving room for comments at the end of the class. Abbreviate your notes and
use symbols for easier revision. One
must pay close attention to the contents being learned in class, such as;
definitions, listings things which have been discussed and paying close to
repeated information.
After notes have been written, the necessary
revision and editing must be done. Make the required review within a given span
of time maybe, before a day ends. Ruling out those words that do not make sense
also is important by highlighting them using a different pen from the one used
when making notes. It is important to note something that you do not understand
as well comparing your notes with the text book notes to come up with concrete
notes. At the end of it all, you might also consider typing or rewriting your
notes to make them more appealing.
