Blog #6 Notes on Taking Notes

Notes on notes, confuse you yet? When taking notes never right everything down, only right what you either need or you summarize. So say if a teacher had a whole slide for of info only parts of it will most likely be used. The teacher might use hints such as pointing at the screen or actually telling you to write it down. We were shown that a class of 300 students in Harvard has 150 of them plagiarize. So taking good notes will prevent you from having to deal with that problem. Then we used a 4^th grade EXAMPLE, and we still couldn’t do it. So the example was a little thing for Illinois. It talked about how Illinois is mostly prairie hence the nickname the prairie state. Then we learned that most of the people live in cities like Detroit or Springfield, though some people live in the plains. Taking notes is one of the most important skills that you will learn and I suggest that you learn it well.
