Note Taking: One’s style of note-taking should reflect your learning style. Some students find that printing out the overheads and writing on them during class is effective. They learn primarily through hearing and are distracted by having to reproduce the overhead as they listen. Other students find that writing all of the headings as well as information not in the overheads forces them to concentrate and retain material. They can use the overheads after class to fill in any holes in their lecture notes. Another excellent system of note-taking is the Cornell System. You can use this with or without printed overheads. If you use printed overheads, save the overheads with a two to three inch left margin in your word-processing program before printing. The Cornell System is explained with examples at http://www.montgomerycollege.edu/Departments/enreadtp/Cornell.html
You can also take notes for group exercises and use them as a reference point from which to ask questions and clarify the objectives of the exercise.
