The Note Taking Stage
Always draw up the page for notes the same way.
- At the top, write the topic/key learning objective.
- Divide the page into two columns. The first column should be one-third of the page. It is used for questions and notes. The second column is for notes from the lecture, textbook, video, etc.
- Take notes in your own words.
- Leave spaces and lines between main ideas to add information.
- Develop your own abbreviations and symbols to save time.
- Write in phrases, not full sentences.
- Use bullet points.
- Highlight and colour key ideas.
