HOW TO MAKE GOOD NOTES

Posted on 30/11/2015 by bwernervocalise

There are two ways of taking notes

Mylla Ghdv via Compfight:

Passive note-taking includes:

underlining words
cutting and pasting from online documents
trying to write everything you hear in a lecture
copying slides from the screen
copying lots of direct quotes rather than putting the ideas in your own words
writing notes on everything you read, because you’re not sure what will turn out to be important
not evaluating or criticising the sources you use, but just accepting them as suitable evidence

Active note-taking means:

thinking about what you want to get out of your research before you start
looking for answers to any questions you may have about the topic
looking for connections within the topic you’re studying, and to other topics on your course
writing notes mostly in your own words – your own explanation of what something says or means
recording direct quotes only when it’s important to have the exact words that someone else has used (i.e. when how they say something is as significant as what they say)
