W6: TAKING EFFECTIVE NOTES

 Assalamualaikum  HI! again👀

Tika here😉

Today I want to tell you what I listened to in UED102 class on 20/11/2020.

TAKING EFFECTIVE NOTES

WHAT IS NOTE TAKING?

-writing down ideas from lectures and readings in our own words.

WHY DO WE HAVE TO TAKE NOTES?

• Helps us to pay attention in class ( feeling sleepy can be avoided)
• Helps us to study for quiz, tests or final exam
• Helps us to improve our memory
• Helps us take ownership of ideas
• Helps us engage our senses
• Helps us organize and process data & information
• Helps the lecturers test students on how well they captured given information

WHY REVIEW NOTES?WHY REVIEW NOTES?

1.  We lose 80% of what we hear if it not reviewed within a few hours
2. Identify any questions for peers, the next class, to ask the professor
3. There is not enough time to absorb all the information given in class if its not reviewed on regular basis ( unless you’re some sort of genius)
4. Always keep this in mind ” what if i were tested on this lecture tomorrow ? would i ace it? “
5.  Why recapture notes after class? its better than re-copying because it is the time for you to rephrasing and digesting on what you’ve learned.

WHAT DO WE HAVE TO DO:-

BEFORE CLASS

• Review the notes from the day before
• Review your reading assignments
• Make sure you have all the essentials to jot down during class like a piece of paper ( a book would be even better but it’s all up to you), pens, text.
• Write the day and date at the top of your paper for notes
• Leave spaces between the lines so that you can add information later.
• Review syllabus
• Look up key words prior to class

DURING CLASS

• Be an aggressive, not a passive listener ( ask questions that you don't understand on a certain topic)
• Jot questions in your notes
• Make sure to write all the important notes/information
• Seek out meaning

AFTER CLASS

• Review notes along with the book
• Create our own examples
• Discuss and compare notes with others
• Re-write notes
• Practice those skills that you wish to develop
• Ask professor or lecturer for clarification

HOW DO WE TAKE NOTES?

• Date and label notes ( so you won't get confused )
• Leave some spaces to write and to add information
• Use abbreviations and symbols 

METHODS OF NOTE TAKING

KEY ACTIONS TO NOTE AS YOU OBSERVE YOUR INSTRUCTOR

1.  Be alert to repetition – when an instructor repeats a specific point, make a note of it.
2. Watch the board or overhead projector – if an instructor writes something down,                            the material is important.
3. Notice the instructor’s interest of level – if the instructor is excited about something,  it is likely to be on an exam.
4. Let go of your judgment about lecturer’s styles ( teaching style and etc) – don’t let your attitude about an instructor’s style get in the way of your education.
5. Sit in the front of the room – it is harder for you to sleep, the instructor can see you easily and can see the board clearly.
6. Bring the right materials to the lecturer

REMEMBER SQ4R METHOD
