  11. 4 Steps in Note Taking • Get Ready to Take Notes: • Prepare paperCornell Notes • Have pens/pencils ready. • Remove clutter from desk.

  12. 2. Take Notes: • Record your notes in simple sentences or point form. • Do not try to set up your notes as an outline as you will not have time. • Let your writing flow. • Leave lines between different point and ideas. • Write fast. • Use speed writing and abbreviations. • Write legibly. • Note: Don’t try to write down everything.

  13. 3. Clarify Notes • As soon as possible after class, go through your notes. • Rewrite anything that’s unclear or elaborate. • On the left side in the key word column, write important words and phrases or draw simple pictures. • Do not attempt to do this during a lecture as you will miss important details. • if the teacher stops for an extended period, use this time to do your key words. • Once you have entered your key words, write a summary of your notes at the bottom of your page.

  14. Tips For Selecting Key Words • Key words should be as short as possible – a single word or a 3 to 4 word phrase at most • If you have difficulty remembering a term, make that your key word. • Use dates. • When you select a key word, form a visual of the key. • Always select your own key words – don’t borrow from others as you will have difficulty remember them • If a key word does not jog a memory of your notes, change it. • Use simple drawings instead of words.

  15. Example: If you are talking about whales – you might write – whales surface 2 brea/e. Spout /ru • For the word whale, you might draw

  16. 4. Study your Notes • Review your notes periodically – once a week. • Cover the right side of your page. • Use only the key words to review the facts and information.

  17. Practice Note Taking • Prepare several sheets of paper in the Cornell format or use handouts. • Your instructor will “lecture” briefly. Take notes during these lectures. • Do not do your key words until you finish your notes. • When your notes are finished, read them, clarify if necessary and write your key words. • Finally, in the bottom space, summarize what your notes are about. Remember to use speed writing, abbreviations and diagrams to simplify your notes
