Taking Notes

• Reviewing your notes right after the lecture so you can fill in examples and facts that you did not have time to write down.
• Keep a separate “Questions” page or section with a running list of questions to be answered. As they get answered, cross them off lightly so you can still see the original questions.
• Annotate your notes!
  • Underline key terms, statements or important concepts.
  • Use margins for references to websites, page numbers or lecture notes.
  • Keep a key (or index cards) of important names, formulas, dates, concepts, etc.
  • Use asterisks, !#†or other symbols to indicate importance.
