One-minute review:
1. Don’t doodle or knit during a lecture.
2. Write legibly. Will save you time later. [The amount of time I have spent trying to figure out words that I have written is in the hours. If you can’t write in cursive legibly, print. You can print as fast as you can write in cursive. That’s one piece of research I read long ago. And it’s true. RayS.]
3. Leave blanks for words you missed and ask teacher or students to help you fill in the words later.
4. Use abbreviations for common words.
5. Use an asterisk to mark important ideas.
6. Separate your thoughts from the lecturer’s.
7. Record lecturer’s examples. Will clarify complex ideas.
8. Pay close attention at the end of the lecture. With time fast running out, the lecturer might try to cram a lot of information into a short period of time.
9 Review notes as soon as possible after the lecture.
10. Record your own ideas immediately after the lecture.
Comment: Reflection on what you have heard or read is extremely important. Summarize what the speaker has said. What do the ideas mean to you? What questions has he or she raised? Where can you find the answers to your questions? Start with the Internet. RayS.
