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.
