Note-taking
Strategies
Part 2
During Class
One approach that has been proven effective is called the
Cornell Note-Taking system. Here are some of its methods. Start by using the
main section of your page to take down your notes during class. Be sure to
leave space on the left side of the page and the bottom. Things to keep in mind:
1.
Get the speaker’s main points. Don’t write
down every word you hear.
2.
Leave blanks in your notes to add
explanations later.
3.
Organize as you write. Pay attention to cues
such as repetition and emphasis.
4.
Indicate main and supporting points as you
go.
5.
Jot down key vocabulary, important facts and
formulas.
6.
Ask questions. If you’re confused, it’s
better to ask while the material is fresh in your mind.
