While there are a lot of different note-taking systems,
and I have no idea which works best for you, I do know a few things:
1.
Every expert out there agrees that taking
notes during lectures, presentations, and discussions is good for retention and
understanding.
2.
They also agree that the sooner and more
often you review your notes, the better. If the first time you look over your
class notes is right before a test, days or weeks after you took the notes,
then the notes are likely to be completely useless. You
should review and rework your notes in the first 24 hours after you take them.
3.
The sooner you find what works for you, the
better. Dartmouth College has an excellent page at their Academic SkillsCenter. Spend some time going through it.
