Note Taking Strategies

  Part 3

After Class

As soon as class ends, review your notes and fill in any blanks. Underline, highlight and use symbols to sort through the information. If you don’t understand something, get help from your teacher or classmates.

After you’ve reviewed all your notes from class, in the left-hand area of the page write down key words and questions your teacher might ask on a test.

At the bottom of each page, write a summary of the notes. This helps you digest what you've learned. It also improves your memory of the material for the long term for tests down the road.

Student success statement

“He listens well who takes note.”

      Dante Alighieri

What this success statement is teaching us is that listening is the beginning of learning something new. I think this successful statement is right because if you listen you learn better. To be able to learn you have to listen carefully to the details and takes notes. So when someone elder than you talks to you listen because they now more about life then you do. That’s the way everyone learns by listening to get the knowledge.

Notes Taking Strategies

   Part 2

During Class

One approach that has been proven effectively is called the Cornell note- taking system. Here are some of its methods. Star 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:

·         Get the speakers main points. Don’t write down every word you hear.

·         Leave blanks in your notes to add explanation later.

·         Organize as you write. Pay attention to cues such as repetition and emphasis.

·         Indicate main and supporting points as you go.

·         Jot down key vocabulary, important facts and formulas

·         Ask questions, if you’re confused, its better to ask while the material is fresh in your mind.

Student Success Statement

“When you believe you can- you can.”

Dr. Maxwell Maltz

What this successful statement is teaching us is to believe in our self’s that we can accomplished it. These quote teach us that nothing it’s impossible if you believe in yourself. I agree with Maxwell because if you actually try you can accomplish it. For example if you keep putting yourself down that you can’t do it every time you make a mistake you’re going to feel worse and worse and you’re going to feel worthless and you may quit but if you start believing that you can every mistakes you make your going to try harder and harder that’s when you learn from your mistakes to be a better person.

Getting the most out of high school and college means studying hard and using your in class wisely. An effective note-taking strategy can help you both. Here ae the basics.

Stay organized

It may seem obvious, but your class notes can only help you if you can find them. When you’re taking notes be sure to: 

·         Keep all your notes in one place

·         Date and number pages: keeping them in order makes it easier to understand them later.                                        Before class

Review the materials assigned for the class period thoroughly. Bring a list of any question you may have.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!

Student success statement

"Tell me what is right and i will fight for it."

What this statement is teaching us is to fight for what is right because its worth it. One example of fighting for what is right is fighting for your rights of the entire nation. Fighting for what its right its important because it will benefit  you on your life. Always fight for what is right and choose the right!

Distance Education: is a virtual classroom for you?

            Part 4 of 4

Emphasis on the written word

Most of the communication, as well as the course work, in distance learning classes is written. That’s a plus, because the focus on the written word gives you the opportunity to develop as a writer- and strong writing skills are essential to academic success. However, if writing is a serious weakness for you, virtual learning may not be the best educational option until you improve your skills. Yes, most of distance education is the written word; therefore, you need to be a good reader, love to read, and love writing also. Most of your assignments will be written and submitted to the instructor in the written format. Your penmanship needs to be excellent, spelling great, sentences structure above average, vocabulary extraordinary. You need to have online access with reliable equipment. If your internet communications at home isn’t working, you can’t do online education from home and will need to go to someplace where you do have access to the internet.

Decide whether it’s right for you

Distance isn’t for everyone, but it just might be for you. You really should seek it out and give it a try. You never know until you try. You might even fall in love with distance education. While distance education may be the perfect alternative for some students, it’s not the right choice for everyone. So carefully consider your unique needs and interest and give distance education a try; then, decide if its right for you.
