Advantages of notes

Bee playing the guitarLearning

Taking notes helps you to learn and understand.

It also helps you to concentrate when studying.

Take notes during all your study activities:

  • reading
  • talks
  • classwork
  • experiments
  • broadcasts

Understanding

Notes convert a subject into your own words.

This will help you to understand it and remember it.

You are processing and absorbing the information.

You are also adding it to what you know already.

Assessing

Making a short note means you are weighing up information.

You are choosing the most important parts.

You are also spotting the key issues or ideas.

This is one reason why you don't need to record details.

Thinking

Taking notes helps you think about the subject.

Writing down one idea often produces ideas about another.

Taking notes produces a strong memory trace.

You will remember information if you make a good set of notes.

Recording

A good set of notes is also a record.

They will be useful when you are revising for exams.

Reading the notes helps bring back the original experience.

Storage

Treat your notes with respect, and store them carefully.

Keep them in a folder or a ring binder.

Use separate folders or sections for different subjects.

They will be useful later when revising for exams.
