Hi guys!!
After reading through module 5, the thing I found most useful was the video of the different methods to take notes. I typically use the lazy man’s method to take notes if the professor provides the slides in advance. I will write small comments on the slides to create cues that will remind me of the information on the slide. Although this method isn’t very effective for me, I haven’t found one to replace it with so I have continued to use it. A method I would like to use in the near future is the outline method. I like to see things in list form which by creating a hierarchy for my notes, mocks the idea of a list. I have also used the method of typing out my notes for lecture. I think this method is effective if it is not your only form of notes or way of studying. I would take notes in a google doc and from that, make flashcards that went along with study guides or with what I believed was most important from each lecture. Advice I would have for you guys on note taking is to definitely find what works for you. I could go on and on about what works for me but it doesn’t necessarily mean it will work for everyone else. You should try out different note taking methods and keep the ones that work well for you.
