Note-taking

(Redirected from Notes)

Note-taking (or note taking) is recording information taken from another source. By taking notes, the writer records the information, so they don't have to recall everything.[1] It is an important skill for students.

Notes are usually taken from a transient (temporary) source, such as an oral discussion at a meeting, or a lecture or even a passing thought. in these cases the notes may be the only record of the event. Notes of a meeting are usually called minutes.

Note taking is a form of self discipline.

There are many ways to take notes. Charting notes are used on topics with many different categories. Cornell notes are dvided into 3 sections: the keyword (important)/question section, the note section, and the summary on the bottom. Guided notes have the note taker fill-in-the-blanks.
