I think we
can all say that taking notes during a tutorial is somewhat impossible when you
lecturer is flying through the slides, while you’re trying to take down what
you can and by the end you probably have no clue what that whole lecture
consisted of. Well now I myself have found a solution to our problem:
There are
many ways to take notes effectively and quickly, some may suit others better.The two that I have been found useful are:
- Cornell Method
- Mind Mapping
These methods
will help you to:
- Stay focused in class
- Allows you to have a record of what you have learned from that class
- Have a basis for further learning and research
I am going to do an example of the Cornell Method technique; I am taking notes on a video clip of a young girl called Adore Svitak. She is explaining to a audience full of adults how ‘adults can learn from children’.
Follow yourself on YouTube: http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/en/adora_svitak.html
I used the Cornell Method as there was a lot of
information given very fast in this video clip and this method allowed me to
write the key information on one side and on the other to elaborate on those
ideas. This
system allows you to keep your notes organized, summarize the main points of
the lecture quickly, and review for tests more efficiently. (Ruschhaupt, 2010)
If the Cornell Method isn’t for you, why not try out the Mind Mapping Technique.
