Guidelines For Writing a Note

Taking notes is an important skill that an individual learns or tries to learn during the formative years. When taking notes, the following guidelines should help in effectively taking down information:

• In case of a followup lecture, always review your notes from the previous lecture. The bottom line is to prepare for the lecture in order to get the flow of where the lecture is going.
• Write down your thank you notes as clearly and completely as possible. Sufficient description must be provided in reference to names, events, or topics. It is important that you understand the topic in order for you to properly do note taking.
• Actively listen to the lecturer to get key points to a lecture. Write only what is needed to be written. Write key ideas in your own wording to help you remember the lecture easier (see Cornell notes for a note type that allows you to quickly capture big ideas from the lecture).
• Always review notes right after a lecture. For skipped or missed topics, place a space for you to fill in later when you recall it after the lecture. Better yet, you can always approach the lecturer for added information
• The use of abbreviations are recommended but has to be used in consistency to avoid any confusion. This also gets you used to your own system of shortcuts.
• Allow plenty of room in taking notes and keep a habit of writing clearly and legibly. This helps in the organization of your notes. Never cram everything on a single page.
• Summarize all main points of the lecture. Always leave added room for additional information that may be remembered after reviewing the notes.
