Note-taking\nStrategies<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Note-taking\nis an important part of higher-level education. Having good note-taking skills\nin college can really help to better one\u2019s learning experience and could also\nhelp to improve one\u2019s grades. Note-taking strategies not only help one to\nadjust to different words not usually used but also help the reader to develop\nnew skills. There are three different variables that influence my note-taking\nskills and they are summarizing key ideas, outlining different material, and strengthening\nmemory retention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The\nfirst step into taking good notes is to summarize key ideas. When one\nsummarizes key ideas from informative text and learning materials it helps to make\nlearning the main ideas of a chapter or work much simpler. This also helps one\nto focus on the details of the information that the notes are being taken from.\nThis is another point of emphasis while taking notes. Staying focused on the topic\nand listening to the instructor. Paying attention to the key ideas the\ninstructor says in class can go a long way in helping taking better notes. Also,\nsummarizing the key ideas of something could lead to easier retention of the knowledge\nwritten down. When one has easier retention of knowledge it can help them to\npass exams on that material in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another\nmethod that helped to influence and better my note-taking skills was outlining\nthe material given to me. When I began to outline the study material given to\nme, my grades got much better and I started to excel in not only getting good\ngrades in my courses but also actually understanding the material. The key to\nsuccess while note-taking is making sure that one can understand the material they\nare taking notes on. Other key aspects of outlining the material are to make\nsure that while outlining one does not rush and make any vital mistakes that\nmay compromise one\u2019s ability to read the notes. The notes must be legible and\nable to read or else they are useless and serve no purpose. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The\nlast thing that influenced my note-taking skills was strengthening my memory\nretention. There were only two ways I could strengthen my memory retention and\nthey were by writing note cards for definitions and questions that may be asked\non a test and by structuring and organizing my notes. Other ways that helped\nthe note-taking process were visualizing the different concepts I learned, using\nmnemonic devices to help memorize different processes and cycles. Another concept\nI used was to relate the new information I had learned to past concepts or\nideas I had learned previously. This helped me strengthen my memory because when\nI relate my notes to something I know or use in the real world, I think of the\nnotes I had taken that related to that topic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To\nfinish, the variables that influenced my note-taking skills were to summarize\nany key ideas, outline the source material, and to strengthen memory retention.\nThese three things and many others helped me become a very skilled note taker\nand also helped me understand what I was learning at a higher level.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
