The Outlining Method
The Outlining note taking method uses headings and bullet points to organize topics. This method is most useful when learning about topics that include a lot of detail.
How?
- Each section starts with a heading of the main topic. Each subtopic and supporting fact is written underneath the proper heading.
- During a lesson, begin your notes with a single bullet point and write the main topic.
- Place the first subtopic below and indented slightly to the right.
- List any details below your heading and slightly to the right.
