How To Take Effective Notes

 

1. Don't just copy his notes from the board - listen to what he says and make your own notes. This way you're hearing, summarizing and making notes - all of which will help you remember.

    2. Don't try to write whole sentences - much better to write down a heading for each topic he covers then make bullet points under each heading. 

    3. Don't write down anything you don't understand - put your hand up and ask him to make it clearer, then write a note about it. 

    4. Don't make so many notes that you're not really listening to what's being said - listen, make a brief note, then listen again - this way you won't miss anything. 

    5. Afterwards, read through your notes and use a highlighter to highlight one or two important words in each point you've covered. You could use a different color for each topic covered.

In my opinion these are the best way to take notes.
