note taking skill
Note taking is providing systematic formal for condensing and
organizing notes without recopying. We must take note to get a point, to
understand the lesson and to remember better. sometimes, the instructor share
information not available in text book and note taking help the students become
active learner ,critical thinker and also effective learner because we will
more focus on what the lecturer said, what we are read and force to think
rapidly about what we see and hear.
There are several systems of note taking
including Connell, outline, mapping, sentence, charting and Harvard. I like to
use mapping and sentence system depends on the course. If I am going to write
an essay, I tend to use sentence system since it is the easiest and the fastest
way to jot down the elaborations, examples and other things before I forget.
When I am in class, I am able to listen to the lecturers and take notes at the
same time and I use my own words in my note taking so that I can understand
everything that I wrote in class when I want to reread them up at home. This is
also to ensure that I still can understand the notes that I have taken in my
classes even after a few weeks. I am not that kind of student who can pay full
attention in class since I will feel sleepy and to avoid being sleepy, I take
notes. I like using mapping system too since it is much easier for me to add on
more information regarding that particular topic when I know it somewhere else.
I just have to draw another branch and write the new information that I have
obtain. we must prepare to take note with review the course syllabus.
Therefore, we will know what lecture talking about. the best systems of taking
and making note is Connell system
because it has everything in this notes, we take the note in class and
summarize and do the question or everything that relate with that topic in the
Connell system
The difference
between note taking and note making are note taking is practiced during the
class and note making is after the class. I start making notes within 24 hours
after class because I am still remembering the things that the lecturer spoke
in class. I always look up for more information through websites and books to
make sure that my notes are excellent and can be used to revise when I want to
study for tests or final exams.
