ASAP: Note Taking
"Wisdom is learning what to overlook."
Henry James
Taking notes on a lecture involves a complicated process. A student must listen to the lecture attentively, make decisions about what information is important, translate the information into his/her own language and then write it down. This process promotes active learning and critical thinking. Too often students lose the full benefit of a lecture by not taking notes or taking poor notes. One good method of note taking is the Cornell Method, developed by Dr. Sauk at Cornell University.
