During class

One approach that has been proven effective is called the Cornell note-talking system. Here are some of its method. Start by using the main section of your page to take down your notes during class. Be sure to leave space on the left side of the page and the bottom. Things to keep in mind:

1.      Get the speaker’s main points. Don’t write down word you hear.

2.      Leave blanks in your notes to add explanations later.

3.      Organize as you write. Pay attention to cues such as repetition and emphasis

4.      Indicate main and supporting points as you go

5.      Jot down key vocabulary important facts and formulas

6.      Ask question. If you’re confused, it’s better to ask while the material is fresh in your mind.
