Note-Taking
Strategies
Part 2
During Class
One approach that has been proven effective is called the
Cornell Note-Taking System. Here are some of its methods.
Start by using the main section of your page to take down
your notes during class. Be sure to leave space on the left side of the page and
the bottom. Things to keep in mind:
1. Get the
speakers main points. Don’t write down every word you hear.
2. Leave blanks
in your notes to add explanations later.
3. Organize as
you write. Pay attention to cues such as repetition and emphasis.
4. Indicate main
and supporting points as you go.
5. Jot down
key vocabulary, important facts and formulas.
6. Ask questions.
If you’re confused, it’s better to ask while the material is fresh in your
mind.
