Completing Module 5 I learned alot of new ways to enhance my study and listening skills. I learned 3 different ways of how to take notes such as the Cornell system, Mind maps, and keywords. All these can enhance your study skills . These skills help organization, forces you to highlight key words and ask yourself key questions . The big question was “why do we take notes ?” I think we take notes to better our future study and preparations for upcoming assignments. I also think taking notes helps you focus when the teacher is talk and can get you more involved in the discussion. Being an active listener is also a plus when your are taking notes. Think and visualize what they are saying to grasp information. Write your own notes in your own hand writing so you can understand them when its time to review for test. Be active in class can also help while taking notes in class. Ask the teacher questions and write down things that you don’t understand. I also learned new strategies on how to listen to podcast. like listening for the structure of the presentation and choosing when and where to listen. Use the features of the podcast like pause, stop, and play if you didn’t understand the instructions given.
