I've decided to start a section about note taking and ways to improve your note taking skills. Now this mostly applies to college students, but there are jobs out there that require you to take notes, especially during meeting or presentations, whatever. So I thought it would be a good idea to introduce a new tip every week or so. Feel free to email us whatever you do to help you take better notes! So here it is the first tip:
Split Page Method
Class lectures and your textbook--they're the primary sources of course content and you need to learn both. So combine them with the split page method of taking notes. Just divide your notebook page in half lengthwise. Draw a line down the middle of the page. Take class notes on one side of the page and outline the text on the other side. When you study you'll have both. Class notes and text together, integrated. Some students find it helpful to add a third column for questions they need to ask the professor.
