Note Taking Techniques

A. Chart
A chart is a graphical representation of data. It can take various
forms, such as bar charts, line charts, and pie charts. Charts are used
to visualize information, making it easier to understand and analyze
data.

B. Cornell Method
The Cornell Method is a systematic format for condensing and
organizing notes. It involves dividing a page into three sections: a
narrow-left column for keywords or questions, a wider right column for
notes, and a summary section at the bottom. This method helps in
reviewing and retaining information effectively.

C. Mapping
Mapping refers to the process of creating a visual representation of
information. In the context of notetaking, it often involves creating
mind maps or concept maps, which show the relationships between
different pieces of information. This method helps in organizing
thoughts and seeing connections between ideas.

D. Outline Method
The Outline Method is a hierarchical system of organizing notes. It
involves writing main topics on the left and indenting subtopics and
details underneath. This method helps in structuring information
logically and making it easier to review.

E. Sentence Method
The Sentence Method involves writing every new piece of information
on a new line, resulting in a series of sentences. This method is useful for
fast-paced lectures where you must quickly capture information. It
helps in keeping notes organized and easy to follow.

F. SQ3R
SQ3R stands for Survey, Question, Read, Recite, and Review. It is a
reading comprehension method designed to help students
understand and retain information from textbooks. The steps involve
surveying the material, asking questions, reading actively, reciting key
points, and reviewing the content.
