Note Taking

Good note taking is an important part of the learning process. Whether you are taking notes from class, a lecture, written material or speech, taking notes forces you to actively engage your brain as you identify what is important in the content of what you are reading, or what the speaker is saying and organise it into a comprehensible format to retrieve and make sense of later.

Good  note taking helps you to process information and deepen your understanding as you make connections between ideas, allowing you to apply what you have learnt to new contexts. It will also improve your recall and speed up your revision, that is why effective note taking skills are so important.
