Chapter 6 “Take It In: Notes and Reading”

Chapter six is mainly about taking in note and reading strategies. This is the only way that we as students can succeed in college if we take good notes, and concentrate such as the 4 C’s. The only way we can succeed in college is to take great lecture notes and be in class to listen. We have to always pay attention and take notes, so there is no time for daydreaming. There are a couple of ways to take lecture notes, which are, summarize, outline, Cornell method, question technique, and concept maps. I prefer to use the Cornell note style because it’s more organized and easier to read. I used to be so unorganized, until I stared using Cornell note style. Since then, I’ve been really good at taking notes and it really helps me out a lot. I learned to not take a lecture note of every little thing that comes out of a professor’s mouth because most of the information is unnecessary. We have to not only take good lecture notes, but to take good reading notes also. I would highlight the important part of the book, or use sticky notes. If I wanted to write in the book, I would use a pencil so I can erase it later on. We just have to adjust to this learning style if we haven’t already because it’s very useful for your future workplace.
