One immense struggle in college is learning how to take good notes. In class, one often finds themself day dreaming or distracted by social media or thoughts of other topics. While one may be able to just write down everything that leaves the professor’s mouth, it is difficult to take good notes and for the information to be sinking in at the same time. One trick to take into account is if the professor is going to use a power point, the student can print out the power point before hand to take notes on. If this is not an option, the student can divide their notes into slots for each slide and each topic covered. All notes should outline key points for future studying and reference. When establishing good and detailed notes, one should involve cues, examples, questions, and summaries of the lecture. There are multiple technologies to utilize to get the best notes possible, such as podcasts. Podcasts allow students to pause and rewind information if it has been missed. Lastly, if in lecture the student feels a little lost or did not completely understand what was covered they have complete access to websites that might explain this topic better or in a different way compared to their professor.
