ACADEMIC SKILL TIP: CHOOSING A NOTE-TAKING METHOD In order to get the most from your lessons, you must develop a note-taking method that works for you. You can do this by looking at different ways of note-taking and deciding which one is suitable for your learning style. Work on a method that will gradually help you to structure and organise your notes to make your note-taking speed and comprehension better. Start each lecture on a new page; date and number each page. Write on one side of the paper only. You can set them out side-by-side for easier reviewing when studying for an exam. Leave blank spaces. This allows you to add comments or note questions later. Make your notes as brief as possible. Develop a system of abbreviations and symbols you can use wherever possible. Note all unfamiliar vocabulary or concepts you don't understand. This reminds you to look them up later.
