Taking Notes in
Class
In
classes, your teachers will talk about topics that you are studying.
The information they provide will be important for you to know when
you take tests. You must be able to take good written notes from
what your teachers say.
Taking good notes is a three-stage process in which there are certain
things you should do before class, during class,
and after class. Here are the three stages of notetaking
and what you should do during each stage.
1. Get Ready to Take Notes
(Before Class)
- Review
your notes from the previous class session before you come to
class. This will help you remember what was covered and get you ready
to understand new information your teacher provides.
- Complete all assigned
readings before you come to class. Your teacher will expect
that you have done this and will use and build upon this information.
- Bring
all notetaking materials with you to class.
Have several pens and pencils as well as your notebook.
