Web Enhanced Strategies

Module 5

Taking Notes:

  • Print out your notes before class
    • Read them over so you have an idea of what to look for
    • Don’t write what is already printed. Try to listen for things your professor is saying that is not on the notes.
  • OR don’t print them out and write them in a notebook/ on your laptop
    • I try to “save the trees” and I find that having books of powerpoints in my notebook is annoying
    • Find an effective strategy for you ( http://learninghub.une.edu.au/tlc/aso/aso-online/learning-strategies/listening-notetaking.php )
    • Don’t try to write down everything the professor is saying
    • Write down key words
    • Use different colors to write
    • Highlight things you find important
  • Go back over your notes after class
    • I know this might seem annoying but sometimes you get so caught up in the note taking that you really aren’t absorbing the information
    • Use this time to highlight or write comments

Find a podcast or video pertaining to the topic you learned

  • This is what I do if I can’t really catch on to what the professor is saying
  • There is someone out there who will be able to clarify things for you
  • Follow the note taking strategies from above to take notes from the podcast or video
  • Download podcasts to your phone. You can listen to it while you are eating dinner, walking to class, driving, working out, etc.
