Why take notes?If you do not write it down:
42% forgotten after 20 minutes56% forgotten after 1 hour66% forgotten after 1 day75% forgotten after 1 week80% forgotten after 1 month
What you will most likely do:Write everything
downWrite down very little
of the important stuffWrite complete
sentencesWrtie way too muchNot write enoughCopy word for wordGet frustrated
What I want you to do:Find the main ideasFocus on important
detailsUse key words and
phrasesBreak down the large
ideasWrite only enough to
get the idea acrossTake concise,
complete notes.
Your notes should be a work in progress.You should add information as you study or read
Verbatim is the WORST!!Use them as a study guideMore you take correctly, the
better.
Cornell Notes As soon as a lecture is over,
review and note in the left margin: Questions
Why or how Comapre/contrast What is the function of… What is the effect of…. What is…. What year did… Who is….
Notes during the lecture: Write constantly-
Keeps your brain form wondering
Bullet points Key words and phrases Symbols/abbreviations 1 fact per line Spread out notes & fill in
later Paraphrase when possible.
Summary: Big ideas in your own words. Key ideas, vocab, examples. Helps determine which areas you should focus studying on. Brings ideas into proper context.
Bad: The Renaissance started in
1300 because of a war and the black plague. People had more money and started to focus on the arts. People like the Medici dictated in Italy.
Famous artists had more time to be famous. They made people look like people in art. Michelangelo, Raphael, and that other guy.
Good: 1300-1600
War & plague Less people = more
wage demand Patrons Medici= powerful family
Florence Artist
Michelangelo Raphael
