My note taking has been very sporractic over the years, it has been all over the place. Sometimes i write good notes and sometimes i dont, mostly i dont write notes at all and its because i lose focus quickly and lose interest in writing notes and tend to rely on others to get them for me. I have mainly used the notes to record facts that the prof writes down.
There are many effective ways to improve the note taking such as underlining key points, identifying key points and mind mapping. All 3 will improve the note taking drastically. Mind mapping is good for visual learners such as myself and i find that most effective.
As i mind mapped chapter 5 and summarized it into key points i found it very effective indeed, i am not new to mind mapping and have used it many times before. I think that what it does it seperates the foundation points and the points that are side information. The key concept is understood when mind mapping and the branches along the main points is what is remembered once the main point is remembered.
