Taking Notes in Class
3
Prepare Considering Your Goals
  • Identify the instructors and your goals for the
    course
  • Complete assignments before coming to class
  • Accept the instructor as you find them
  • Perform a pre-class warm-up
  • Review your notes from previous lecture
  • Refresh you memory of what was discussed

4
Organize Getting the Tools of Notetaking Together
  • Choose the appropriate writing utensil and paper
  • (use different color to write important issues)
  • Choose a notebook that assists in notetaking
  • Loose-leaf notebooks are very good for taking
    notes
  • Use only one side of the page for writing one
    side for notes
  • Decide whether you should take your textbook to
    class

5
Organize Getting the Tools of Notetaking Together
  • Consider taking a laptop computer to class
  • Make sure battery is fully charged
  • Use quiet keyboard
  • Dont type everything, only key points
  • Have alternative means of notetaking just in case
  • Ask instructor if you can tape lecture

6
Work ProcessingNot Copying - Information
  • Listening and thinking are more important then
    note taking
  • Active listening
  • The voluntary act of focusing on what is being
    said, making sense of it, and thinking about it
    in a way that permits it to be recalled
    accurately
  • Listen for the key ideas and clues about how
    important the message is
  • Meta-message
  • The underlying main ideas that a speaker is
    seeking to convey (the meaning behind the
    message)
  • Use short, abbreviated phrases, not full sentences

7
Work ProcessingNot Copying - Information
  • Copy information written on the board or from
    overheads
  • Use different notetaking techniques for class
    discussions
  • Pay particular attention to the points raised by
    instructors at the end of discussion
  • Ask questions

8
Asking questions in class
  1. Sit in the front of the room
  2. Write down your question
  3. Be one of the first students to ask a question

9
Problem Instructors
  1. Remember that this too will pass
  2. Ask questions about the material
  3. Ask privately for the instructor to change
    their behavior
  4. Listen to the lecture again (tape record)
  5. Talk with the instructor after class

10
Evaluate Thinking Critically about Your Notes
  • Do your notes do a good job of representing what
    is covered in class
  • Do they reflect the emphases of the instructor
  • Are there any key points that are not entirely
    clear
  • Do you need help in clarifying any of the points
    the instructor made

11
Rethink Activating Your Memory
  • Rethink as soon as possible
  • Make rethinking an active process
  • Take a broad view
  • Create concept maps
  • Structuring written material by graphically
    grouping and connecting key ideas and themes
    (Figure 4.4 pg 108)
