Homework: You will be expected to read and take notes 12-20 (remember when taking notes -only copy down key concepts, do not write word for word and use abbreviations) BE AWARE - I will be collecting your notes to mark. This way you can learn how to do it correctly. I will want you to print of those on Evernote.
Today we will look at the following.
1. Different ways to take notes:
Cornell Note-taking : This system has been around for a long time and is still used today. It is a form of organizing your notes so that they are easier to review. This will not be learned in one day and make take some time to get use to. I have put links to two videos but please feel free to look up others that may go into more in-depth explanations.
a) Video one: This is a short overview for law students. He does not give a clear example.
b) Video two: This person explains clearly how to take notes but, her examples are all for biology.
2. The Second way to take notes is Evernote (It is free and to get more features you can pay a monthly fee - I do believe that you can upgrade for free at most universities with a code from your student society/ acceptance information )
a) Watch the very helpful tutorial here
b) Sign up here for free and try it out.
3. There are others and you may want to look at videos of them too.
4. Take some time to copy the keywords and definitions into one of these formats. Writing them a second time will help you to memorize.
