This
format provides the perfect opportunity for following through with the 5
R's of Note-Taking:
During
the lecture, Record legibly in the Note Taking Area as many meaningful facts
and ideas as you can.
As
soon as possible, summarize these facts and ideas concisely in the Cue
Column. Summarizing clarifies meanings and relationships, reinforces
continuity, and strengthens memory.
Cover
the Note-taking area using only your jotting in the cue column, repeat
over the facts and ideas of the lecture as completely as you can, not
mechanically, but in your own words. You may then verify what you have
said.
Draw
out opinions from your notes and use them as a starting point for your own
reflections on the course and how it relates to your other courses.
Reflection will help prevent ideas from being forgotten.
Spend
10 minutes every day in quick review of your notes and you will retain
most of what you have learned.
