Even More Tips For Note Taking in Lectures

Here are more of The Fife & Tayside Wider Access Forum's top tips on Note making in Lectures.

EIGHT: REVIEW YOUR NOTES. After the lecture review your notes:
  • ·        Combine the notes from the previous reading materials with the notes you have made during the lecture
  • ·        Keep one set of good notes
  • ·        File other notes away.
Combining your notes is not copying your notes – by having a set of ‘complete’ notes you will have notes that make sense when you retrieve them later.

Reviewing your notes also helps helps to move information from short-term memory into long-term memory.

You are also starting to revise for assignments, essays and exams.

NINE: SHARE NOTES. Share notes with others in your class.
You may have something important in your notes that others may not have and vice versa.

TEN: LISTENING AND NOTE MAKING ARE SKILLS.
The more you practise the move skilled you will become. The more you practise the faster you will become at making notes.
