Note taking is a skill that varies from student to student. This skill is also dependant on what type of
learner a student is and what type of
material is being covered in a class. I decided to use
1 plus 3 notes this week in two of my courses,
Religion 101and Ist 195. I decided to take action and use 1 plus 3 notes in both my religion 101and ist 195 classes because these two classes give me a trailor load of notes and I feel like this note taking strategy would definately be a big help in terms of organization. This strategy requires three lines to be drawn. One section for notes, another for questions, and another section for a summary of your notes.

IST 195 is a class in which I get a lot of
difficult computer terms and notes. Before using this strategy I would just write down notes as I got them and they would be disorganized. Me being a visual learner I decided I definately need to be more
organized! What better way to star than using this strategy to organize my notes. After I went about writing down my notes in class I went home and began to review my work. I wrote down questions and summarized everything I learned during my review.

For religion 101 I went about doing the same thing. I took all the
notes I needed to take in that class because we had a guest speaker that day. After class when I found time to go to my room I wrote down
questions and summarized my notes. Through these methods I found myself pretty much preparing for my test without actually using a test prep strategy.
After using these two strategies I found myself way more organized than I was before. I actually was able to recognize the
material that was being covered through
summarizing the notes we learned in class. I feel by combining this strategy with
20 minute test prep you will be able to
dominate any test that may get in your way of obtaining that A+.
Very nice documentation for each of your classes. Your adaptation of the strategy to include summaries reminded me of the Cornell notes strategy, which is another really useful technique. I think next time I use this strategy in another course besides Calculus I'll do the same and add summaries to my notes on the material.
ReplyDeleteI think its great how you took your terms which you know are hard and defined them in your notes. I like your confidence from these notes as well. I think they both were very effective to you and your course. I hope you do get an A+!
ReplyDeleteGreat description of how you used your note taking strategy. I too found myself pretty much preparing for my test without actually using a test prep strategy while using these note-taking strategies. I think this strategy will work best to your advantage!
