Here’s How to Take Better Notes, According to Research
<p>In a graduate-level educational psychology course at Florida State University, my professor didn’t allow students to take notes. He reasoned that taking notes prevented students from reflecting on the lesson.</p>
<p>Yet, the professor also thought students needed a good set of notes to review later for exams. So he provided students with complete notes following each lesson. Most students appreciated this arrangement. I, however, did not. I was a copious note taker who believed in the value of recording one’s own notes.</p>
<p>So instead of obeying the professor’s note-taking ban, I sat in the back of the classroom and took notes secretly, scribbling feverishly on a small notepad whenever the professor looked away — until I was eventually caught pen-handed and had to fib about writing a letter to a friend back home. This episode prompted me to study note-taking — something I’ve done for the <a href="https://cehs.unl.edu/kiewra/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">past four decades</a>. My objective has been to determine the value of note-taking and how to best take notes.</p>
<h1>Here Are My Note-Taking Tips:</h1>
<h2>Do take notes</h2>
<p>Students who <a href="https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1207/s15326985ep2001_4" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">take notes</a> during a lesson achieve more than those who listen to the lesson without note-taking. This is because the act of note-taking staves off boredom and focuses attention on lesson ideas more than listening without taking notes.</p>
