TOPIC 5: TAKING LECTURE NOTE 

WHAT IS NOTE TAKING ?

WHY TAKE NOTES ?👀

✎ Helps us to pay attention in class.

✎ Helps us study for quiz,test or final exam.

✎ Helps us improve our memory.

✎ Helps us take ownership of ideas.

✎ Helps us engage our senses.

✎ Helps us organize and process data and information.

✎ Helps the lecturers test student on how well they captured given information.

WHY REVIEW NOTES ?

Because we lose 80% of what we hear if it is not reviewed within a few hours.Other than that,to identify any questions for peers,the next class or to ask the professor.Furthermore, there is not enough time to absorb all the information given in class if it's not reviewed on regular basis.Lastly,think '' If I were tested on this lecture tomorrow,would I ace it? " Make it so !

TAKE TIME EVERY DAY TO REVIEW NOTES 🕮

WHY  "RECAPTURE'' NOTES AFTER CLASS ?

- Frees you up to write in quick,shorthand during class.

- An excellent test-prep strategy for reinforcing information,better than re-copying,this time you're digesting and rephrasing.
