keep your notes organized. Create a lost signal to use whenever
you get lost taking notes.
Note-Taking Skills Make sure your notes are
labeled and your pages are numbered.
Put your name on each page.
Use standard abbreviations. listen for introductory,
concluding, and transitional words and phrases.
Note-Taking Skills
Leave space between your notes. Use words and phrases, instead of
complete sentences, if possible. Copy diagrams, equations, dates,
definitions, and illustrations word-for-word.
