Since tons of
students are starting school this fall, I thought I would make a post over note
taking and more!
Notes
This is normally how I set up my pages
Title
Subtitle
·
Info
·
Info – more if it relates to the topic
And
that goes on out through the page. I usually highlight the subtitle, and
highlight and definitions that I need to remember for a test. After the class
is over, and you have time before your next class, write a summary over the
notes so that way instead of reading the whole page of notes when you study for
a final or you’re just trying to find a paper in the future, you can just read
that summary.
If
you want to be extra organized, make a table of contents in the front of your
note book when you’re done taking the notes and the book is filled. I just keep
one binder with folders of all my classes and when I take notes for that class,
on the weekend I tear it out of my notebook and put it in the correct folder.
The
other day I read that if you write down your worries before a test, that it can
improve your test scores!
But
overall, remember these things…
-
Aim for passion, not A’s.
-
If you fail, it’s alright. Everyone makes
mistakes, just recall what you did wrong then next time do it right.
-
Read a lot, and think a lot.
-
Don’t ask questions that have a simple answer,
ask questions that makes you think.
-
Set goals
-
Put your freakin’ phone away.
-
Find the time when you’re most productive.
-
Have snacks, and a drink.
-
Eat healthier!
-
Take notes in different colors, and bright
highlighters.
-
Never study in bed, you’ll totally fall asleep.
