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 bottom. Things to keep in mind:
1. Get
the speaker’s 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.
CHOOSE THE
RIGHT!
