The Wrong Way To Take NotesAdded on:7/11/2008 6:14:57 PM

- When taking notes, many students try methods that seem to make sense but in reality don’t work well. For example, you may try to write down everything the instructor says, but you’ll most likely find that you can’t keep up. And even if you could keep up, this method doesn’t work well because you’re functioning simply as a recorder; you aren’t really listening to the information and making connections about the information and the subject at hand.
- You may also try tape-recording a lecture, and while this ensures you have a record of everything that is spoken, a recording doesn’t take into account any visuals (maps, diagrams, charts, and so on) the instructor may use in the lecture. Also, when you go back to study, you probably won’t have time to listen to each and every lecture all over again, which makes the recording less than useful. Finally, when you’re recording, you’re not actively engaging in thinking about the material. So strike that method.
