TAKING LECTURE NOTES

     

      On 12th of July (last week),Madam Normala has taught us about ‘Taking Lecture Notes’.She taught about four important things and the first thing was why we need to take lecture notes.This is because all of us is just a human and we don’t have the ability to remember everything what our lecturer says in class.By taking notes in class we can get accurate record of information which can make us easier to understand that topics.Other than that,we will be able to interpret,condense and organize information for us to use it in the future.

       Most of us must not know the right way to take lecture notes.So here are some ways to take lecture notes correctly.Firstly,make sure you are prepared before taking notes.You have to read the topic that your lecturer will be teaching before your class starts so that it will be easier for you to catch up with what your lecturer is teaching.Identify the main idea to make it easier for to take the lecture notes.Highlight the key terms to let you know whether the things that you have jot down are important or not.

       Secondly,you have to be an active listener.That means you have to decide what to listen and listen with an open mind.Control your emotional responses in class.ALWAYS pay your attention in class physically and mentally.Sit in front near to the lecturer so that you will not miss any important notes.Surround yourself with motivated friends because I do believe that friends play an important role in every actions that you take.
