2. • act as a summary or reinforcement of the main points of
what you read, heard or saw
• an essential record of where information came from (for
referencing purposes)
• remind you of other things you should do to continue
learning,
e.g. sources to check out; action to take
• useful for future revision purposes, for exams or writing
assignments

3. • the first stage of the process of producing effective
notes
• a process that involves writing or recording what you
hear or read in a descriptive way
• during lectures, tutorials or seminar
• copying notes from original resources seen, heard or
read

4. • follows on from taking notes
• happens when
i. You synthesize your reading from a number of
sources on the same topic.
ii. You summarize for yourself the connections in any
reading or from any lecture.
iii. You add your own critical comments to what you
read or hear

5. • Both provides the student with material for easy
reference, preparation and study during an exam
• Both aids the student in remembering facts easier as it
utilizes both reading and listening senses
• Both have the same purpose that is for the student to
excel in their studies
• Both helps students concentrate better a n d more

10. The Cornell method provides a systematic format
for condensing and organizing notes without laborious
recopying. After writing the notes in the main space, use
the left-hand space to label each idea and detail with a
key word or "clue."

11. Procedure:
• Rule your paper with a 2 ½ inch margin on the left leaving a six-inch
area on the right in which to make notes.
• During class, take down information in the six-inch area. When the
instructor moves to a new point, skip a few lines. After class, complete
phrases and sentences as much as possible.
• For every significant bit of information, write a clue in the left margin.
• To review, cover your notes with a card, leaving the cues exposed. Say
the clue out loud, then say as much as you can of the material
underneath the card.
• When you have said as much as you can, move the card and see if what
you said matches what is written. If you can say it, you know it.

13. Advantages
• Organized and systematic for recording and reviewing notes.
• Easy format for pulling out major concept and ideas.
• Simple and efficient.
• Saves time and effort.

14. Dash or indented outlining is usually best except for some
science classes such as physics or math.
• The information which is most general begins at the left with each
more specific group of facts indented with spaces to the right.
• The relationships between the different parts is carried out through
indenting.
• No numbers, letters, or Roman numerals are needed.

15. Procedure :
1. Listening and then write in points in an organized pattern based
on space indention.
2. Place major points farthest to the left. Indent each more specific
point to the right.
3. Levels of importance will be indicated by distance away from the
major point. Indention can be as simple as or as complex as
labeling the indentations with Roman numerals or decimals.
Markings are not necessary as space relationships will indicate the
major/minor points.

16. Example:

17. Advantages:
• Well-organized system if done right.
• Outlining records content as well as relationships.
• It also reduces editing and is easy to review by turning main points
into questions.

18. Mapping is a method that uses
comprehension/concentration skills and evolves in a note-taking
form which relates each fact or idea to every other fact or idea.
Mapping is a graphic representation of the content of a lecture.
It is a method that maximizes active participation, affords
immediate knowledge as to its understanding, and emphasizes
critical thinking.

19. Example:

20. Advantages
• This format helps you to visually track your lecture regardless of
conditions.
• Little thinking is needed and relationships can easily be seen.
• It is also easy to edit your notes by adding numbers, marks, and color
coding.
• Review will call for you to restructure thought processes which will
force you to check understanding.
• Review by covering lines for memory drill and relationships.
• Main points can be written on flash or note cards and pieced together
into a table or larger structure at a later date.
