    Note taking and note making involve briefly writing down important information as an aid to memory. There are different types of notes for different purposes such as ordering notes, revision notes, research notes, comparative notes, and analytical notes. Note making systematically records key points from readings by integrating reading and writing skills. Note taking records information from transient sources like lectures or meetings. Effective note taking is an important skill for students to learn course material and implant it in their minds.

    Note Taking and Note Making

    The meaning of the word ‘note’ is a brief written record as an aid to memory. There
    are different types of notes depending upon the purpose. These include ordering
    notes, revision notes, research notes, comparative notes, and analytical notes.

    Note Making is systematic method of writing down quickly, briefly, and clearly the
    important points of a reading text. It is a productive skill, which integrates both
    reading and writing skills.

    Note taking is the practice of recording information captured from a transient source,
    such as an oral discussion at a meeting, or a lecture. Notes of a meeting are usually
    called mintes. The format of the initial record may often be informal and/or
    unstructured. One common format for such notes is shorthand, which can allow large
    amounts of information to be put on paper very quickly. Notes are frequently written
    in notebooks. Note taking is an important skill for students, especially at the college
    level. As college lectures, the main purpose of taking notes may be to implant the
    material in the mind; the written notes themselves being of secondary importance.

    Charting

    Charting involves creating a graph with symbols, or a table with rows and columns.
    Graphs and flow-charts are useful for documenting a process or event. Tables are
    useful for facts and values.

    Outlining

    While notes can be written freely, many people structure their writing in an outline.A
    common system consists of heading that use Roman numerals letters of the alphabet
    and Arabic numerals at different levels. A typical structure would be:

    I. First main topic


    A. Subtopic
    1. Detail
    2. Detail
    B. Subtopic
    II. Second main topic
    A. Subtopic

    However, this sort of structure has limitations in written form since it is difficult to
    go back and insert more information. Adaptive systems are used for paper-and-pen
    insertions, such as using the reverse side of the preceding page in a spiral notebook to
    make insertions. Or one can simply leave large spaces in between items, to enable
    more material to be inserted.

    Mapping

    Here, ideas are written in a tree structure, with lines connecting them together. Mind
    maps are commonly drawn from a central point, purpose or goal in the center of the
    page and then branching outward to identify all the ideas connected to that goal.
    Colors, small graphics and symbols are often used to help to visualize the
    information more easily. This notetaking method is most common among visual
    learners and is a core practice of many accelerated learning techniques. It is also used
    for planning and writing essays.

    Sentence method

    Every new thought is written as a new line. Speed is the most desirable attribute of
    this method because not much thought about formatting is needed to form the layout
    and create enough space for more notes. Also, you must number each new thought.

    SQ3R

    In is a method of taking notes from written material, though it might be better


    classed as a method of reading and gaining understanding. Material is skimmed to
    produce a list of headings, that are then converted into questions. These questions are
    then considered whilst the text is read to provide motivation for what is being
    covered. Notes are written under sections headed by the questions as each of the
    material's sections is read. One then makes a summary from memory, and reviews
    the notes.
    Guided Notes

    Sometimes lecturers may provide handouts of guided notes, which provide a "map"
    of the lecture content with key points or ideas missing. Students then fill in missing
    items as the lecture progresses. Guided notes may assist students in following
    lectures and identifying the most important ideas from a lecture. This format provides
    students with a framework, yet requires active listening (as opposed to providing
    copies of powerpoint slides in their entirety). Research has shown that guided notes
    improve students' recording of critical points in lecture as well as their quiz scores on
    related content.
