Effective Note -Taking System

#1 Cornell Method 

#2 Split Page Method

The idea is that, while you are taking notes, you are organising everything simultaneously. This method may require some adjustment at first but in the long run, it will help you to better optimise your studytime when using our notes.

#3 Visual Aids

#4 Symbols and Abbreviations

No matter which Note Taking Methods you use to take notes, there will be times when you cannot keep pace with the class and your wrist will begin to hurt you from writing. Therefore it is important that you develop your own language of symbols so that you can write more with little effort. Once the class is over, you can always “translate” your notes that you took during class. This will leave you with your own ‘language’ of notes.

#5 Underline Key Points

It’s advisable to underline the most important learning concepts of the lesson, as they will stand out more clearly and you’ll be more inclined to memorize them. In addition, the notes will be less monotonous and you can review them more quickly, since you can use the underline parts as a guide and won’t need to read the entire text every time you go to study.
