Exploring the Education

1. During your listening to someone, you have to take down as much as possible using your own brand of shorthand if necessary.

2. At the end of each lecture, you have to summarize the major points that covered the lecture or lessons.

3. For the important/key points, you have to underline or put the asterisk (star) to highlight them.

4. During the study, at least you try to get down at least 20 percent of what is said in the lecture.

5. When you hear or find the facts, write them down immediately.

6. If importantly, don’t forget to use tapes, but only run a tape recorder in class as a back-up system.

7. Keep one loose-leaf notebook for all your notes;

8. After that compress your notes by using your own words;

9. Always put the proper date on the lecture notes;

10. Try using 3 x 5 or 4 x 6 index cards.
