1. Identify the important points in a lecture and organize your notes in an outline form to show main topics and secondary or supporting points. This will help you follow the sense of the lecture.2. Write down all you can. If you miss something, having part of the notes will help your instructor identify what you've missed.
3. Leave a wide margin in your notes in which you can generate questions to which your notes are the answers. If you can't write a questions about the material, you probably don't understand it.
4. Study for your test under test conditions by answering your own question without leaning at your notes. Cover your notes with a sheet of paper on which you write your answers, then slide it to the side to check your accuracy.
5. Go all the way through your notes once in this test mode, then go back to review those questions you missed.
6. Compare your notes and the questions you generatedd with those of a study buddy. Did you get the same main points from the lecture? Can you answer the quesetion someone else has written?
7. Review your note again just before time, paying special attention to major topics and questions you missed during study time.
