Note-taking

Note-taking

Note-taking is the practice of recording information. This is so the writer can recall and look back on what they have done or need to know.-http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Note-taking

Note-taking needs to be concise and organised. To organise your notes the writer can use highlighters, to highlight important information. Bullet points to organise a list of methods of items. Underlining, this is also similar to highlighting, and numbering the subjects in the list of importance.

Another thing the writer needs to consider when taking notes is the amount of detail. The amount of detail can affect how much the person knows or needs to. When note-taking the writer must decide how much of the information that needs to be recorded in order to make it productive and helpful for later use.

It is also to important to consider the amount of concentration needed to listen, if you are easily distracted or can't write as fast recording the information via a tape or microphone can help in note-taking after the session. In order to make your note-taking more effective a good way is to record direct quotes only when it's important, and look for connections within the topic you're studying
