Note Making Format

Taking notes is a method of organising and summarising data from multiple sources. The
following components make up the standard note-taking format:
 TITLE: The title of your notes should reflect their main subject matter.
 SOURCE: Identify the notes’ source, such as the book, article, or lecture, in the text.
 CURRENT DATE: When taking notes, be sure to include the current date.
 TITLES & SUB TITLES: Take advantage of headings and subheadings to structure your
notes and facilitate later research.
 USE BULLETS: Use bullet points to highlight key points and specifics in a list. Use simple,
direct language, and zero in on the most important ideas rather than trying to include
everything.
 USE ABBREVIATIONS: When taking notes, abbreviations can help you save time and
space. Use “w/” instead of “with” or “b/c” instead of “because,” etc.
 HIGHLIGHT IMPORTANT POINTS: Utilize highlighting to draw attention to specific
points or single out specific pieces of information that are crucial to your understanding
of the whole.
 USE DIAGRAMS/VISUAL AIDS: Use visual aids, such as flowcharts or graphs, to break
down and internalise information that might otherwise be difficult to grasp and retain.
 SUMMARISE: Write a brief paragraph or two summarising the main ideas and
information from the notes. This is a great way to quickly review and recall the most
crucial points.
 REVIEW: Regularly reviewing your notes is an excellent way to ensure that you retain the
most crucial information from the course.

Points to remember- Note making and summarising

 Select only the relevant data and include only the essential phrases from the passage.
 Try to use a minimum amount of words. Complete sentences would not be accepted as
notes. Thus, the usage of full sentences must be avoided.
 Only really important examples need to be included.
 Eliminate the use of auxiliary verbs, prepositions etc.
 It is necessary to give a suitable title to notes and maintain proper indentation.
 It is mandatory to make at least four headings and subheadings.
 The summary should be brief and should be made using notes prepared. It is important
that one keeps in mind the word limit of the summary and strictly adheres to the notes.
 It is mandatory to include at least four abbreviations in your notes. Add a full stop after
each abbreviation to make it clear for the reader. They should be common and easily
identifiable. For example- “carbs.” for carbohydrates
 It is necessary to prepare a key to abbreviations (minimum four) and enclose it within a
box.
 The presentation of this writing skill is of utmost importance

Note Making Example 1: Read the passage given below:(Sample Question Paper CBSE, 2019-20)
BALANCING THE SCALES
Artificial intelligence (AI) is making a difference to how legal work is done, but it isn’t the threat it
is made out to be. AI is making impressive progress and shaking up things all over the world
today. The assumption that advancements in technology and artificial intelligence will render
any profession defunct is just that, an assumption and a false one. The only purpose this
assumption serves is creating mass panic and hostility towards embracing technology that is
meant to make our lives easier.
Let us understand what this means explicitly for the legal world. The ambit of AI includes
recognizing human speech and objects, making decisions based on data, and translating
languages. Tasks that can be defined as ‘search-and-find’ type can be performed by AI.
Introducing AI to this profession will primarily be for the purpose of automating mundane,
tedious tasks that require negligible human intelligence. The kind of artificial intelligence that is
employed by industries in the current scene, when extended to the law will enable quicker
services at a lower price. AI is meant to automate a number of tasks that take up precious
working hours lawyers could be devoted to tasks that require discerning, empathy, and trust-
qualities that cannot be replicated by even the most sophisticated form of AI. The legal
profession is one of the oldest professions in the world. Thriving over 1000 years; trust,
judgement, and diligence are the pillars of this profession. The most important pillar is the
relationship of trust between a lawyer and clients, which can only be achieved through human
connection and interaction.
While artificial intelligence can be useful in scanning and organizing documents pertaining to a
case, it cannot perform higher-level tasks such as sharp decisionmaking, relationship-building
with valuable clients and writing legal briefs, advising clients, and appearing in court. These are
over and above the realm of computerization.
The smooth proceeding of a case is not possible without sound legal research. While presenting
cases lawyers need to assimilate information in the form of legal research by referring to a
number of relevant cases to find those that will favour their client’s motion. Lawyers are even
required to thoroughly know the opposing stand and supporting legal arguments they can
expect to prepare a watertight defence strategy. AI, software that operates on natural language
enables electronic discovery of information relevant to a case, contract reviews, and
automation generation of legal documents.
AI utilizes big-data analytics which enables visualization of case data. It also allows for creation
of a map of the cases which were cited in previous cases and their resulting verdicts, as per the
website Towards Data Science. The probability of a positive outcome of a case can be predicted
by leveraging predictive analytics with machine learning. This is advantageous to firms as they
can determine the return on investment in litigation and whether an agreement or arbitration
should be considered.
(a) On the basis of your understanding of the above passage, make notes on it using
headings and subheadings. Use recognizable abbreviations (wherever necessary-
minimum four) and a format you consider suitable. Also supply an appropriate title to it.

(b) Write a summary of the passage in about 80 words. (3)

Summary
Artificial Intelligence: Not a threat
Artificial Intelligence is not a threat but makes life easier especially in the legal field. It cannot
perform certain high-level tasks like writing legal briefs, advising clients, making sharp decisions
and appearing in courts but it can collate data, aid research and decisions based on data. It can
recognize human speech and translate languages. It can also predict probable outcomes, tell
return on investment, consider agreement or arbitration and is thus advantageous to legal
firms.
