Effective note taking for students is very important for understanding what is learned in lectures. Some students find it hard to use the right technique for them; it sometimes takes a while to figure what is best. I find listing and understanding what is being said and then writing it in my own words. I find that if I write what is on the lecture slide in my own words it is useful because when I go back to look at my notes and lecture slides I have notes wrote that I understand. If there is a difficult word I would usually write them in my own words after they are explained to me.
Bullet points are good and bad they are no use to me because I still have to see why I wrote the point so I write short sentences with a good explanation for when exams come along. I think it is easier to remember things when I have a good example for them and an able to talk about them.
If I have time before lectures I sometimes print the lecture slides so I have them in front of me and I can take down expanded information for myself on them I find this useful when I am studying. i like o use colors while Im writing notes i think it helps me to remember things but every one is different. Here are some other tips i have found: Tips
I think the fact that you print off your lecture notes before hand is very good and it would be of benifit to me to do the same. The picture with all the tips are very effective.
ReplyDeleteHi Grace, your blog is really helpful. Short sentences with a good explanation is a great idea which i'll be using from now on. Thanks
ReplyDeleteHi Grace, I also find that bullet points are not too helpful to me but i never thought of using short sentences with an explanation instead. It's a great idea which i'll be using from now on. Thanks
