Note Taking

I am currently enrolled in a Freshman Seminar class at my school. This week we covered good note taking skills and how to get the best out of lectures and here is some things that I learned.

• Lecture Note Taking
• Be in class early
• this way you do not miss any part of the lecture
• Be more then a passive note taker
• Just don't sit through class, be engaged
• Actually take note
• Taking notes forces you to listen during the lecture
• Resist Distraction
• Ignore distractions and try to stay focus
• Study your notes before and after lectures
• This will help you remember what is being said
• Stay organized
• Keep notes organized so when you go back to read it is easy too.

I have been practicing with these and they seem to be working.
