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.
