“He listens well who takes notes” 

   Dante Alighieri

Reflection: The definition of this quote is when you take notes,  you're able to understand what you're learning. Taking notes lets your brain process what you've listened or what you've heard. When you listen well and jot down what's being told, you'll always be able to go back to what you didn't understand. It's a smart thing to do, even when you don't know what's going on. Taking notes will brighten your future, help you be organized, and will help you learn what you haven't already.

During Class

One approach that has been proven effective is called the Cornell Note-Taking System. Here are some of its methods.

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 main points. Don’t write down every 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 questions. If you’re confused, it’s better to ask while the material is fresh in your mind.
