Hi! Okey, actually this entry is a bit late from usual, but i had find some time to write it. As usual, it's a new entry and of course it's about a new topic. The topic is
"Taking Lecture Notes". This topic is helpful for students in their study. I had learnt this topic last Wednesday which is on 12th July 2017. Madam Normala binti Ismail was a lecturer that in charge for this topic. The class was so fun. I admit that i laughed a lot during her class.
Back to our topic, there're a few thing that we need to focus in this topic. Firstly,
why do we have to take lecture notes? Taking notes during lecture will help us to get an accurate record of information apart from being an active listener. We also can easily interpret, condense and organize information. All the notes that we take are useful for review. Taking notes help us to understand the lecture well.
How to take lecture notes?
- Prepare before taking notes.
The best way to prepare note taking activity is to read the text before class. During the lecture,we will have idea what the lecture is about if we read it first. We must built up the background about the topic and identify the main ideas of the lecture. It will be easier for us to take notes. It's better if we sit in the first rows of the class, we will hear and see well. Make sure we get ready to take a note as soon as we enter the class (note book, pen, mental and physical).
If you want to become an active listener you also have to read before the lecture and review last set of notes. It's a must! You will understand what the lecturer is discussing about. Besides, when you are in class make sure you forget about personal matter a moment, focus attention physically & mentally and listen with an open mind so you will always ready to take lecture note.
