How To Take Better Lecture Notes | LBCC Study Skills

[@lanibear123]

If only all teachers were as passionate as he is, to teach students. He seems as though he actually cares about your success.

[@JohnFourtyTwo]

I had a math teacher in high school who taught everything from Basic Math to Calculus and she taught it in a way that anyone could learn. The concept of the greater and less than signs always confused me but when she said they will always point to the smallest number in a true answer was something all my other teachers never taught; that simple piece of instruction was enough for a lot of people who were struggling with math classes begin to learn without struggling.

[@AntoninusPius17]

@@JohnFourtyTwo spot on. Tricks to the trade. Life experience will give the teacher an edge to teaching.

[@jamesjarin1162]

Why is it important to take notes while your teacher is talking? You want to take notes so that you don't have to rely on your memory. 1. Preview text. Spend 15 minutes to become familiar with the lesson that will be discussed. It will help a lot for you to follow during class. 2. Review the notes. Spend 5-10 minutes before class reviewing the notes about your previous class. One of the reasons why you should read preview text and review notes is to help in deciding which information is important. If you're ever in doubt of noting something, write it. It is better to have too many notes than fewer notes. 3. Go on a diet. Even though it is better to have too many notes than fewer notes, writing enough notes is more preferred. → Use abbreviations. Writing abbreviations can help you take notes faster. (e.g. Reconstruction = R, sounds absurd but hear me out). Using "R" for "Reconstruction" is faster but how can you identify the word? We can go back to the first point, preview text. While preparing for your next class, take note of long words, names, and etc. to track which word it is. → Leave out unimportant words. Notes during a lecture are not required to be beautiful, it will slow you down. Try leaving out unimportant words and correct your grammatical errors later on. → Supporting Details. Main ideas are always included in the notes so go on a diet with supporting details. 4. Lecture style. Know how your teacher's lecture flows to focus on which details should be taken note of. It is good to know where the important information is located, it could be in the visual aids, dictated examples, or just the explanation. → Show notes to the teacher early for evaluation. Most teachers would be delighted to see your notes, so show them and humbly ask for an evaluation. This way, the teacher can point out flaws in your notes which you can improve later on the semester which translates to better grades. 5. Use a good note-taking method. There are many kinds of methods for note-taking, but we'll do Cornell note-taking.

Well, it looks like he really knows what he's doing, he has that knowledge. The nice thing about it is that he is sharing with the public.

[@JohnFourtyTwo]

That's a secret to life in general, if you sound like you know what you're talking about, people will listen and not question you. Politicians, TV evangelists, and con other artists learned this technique early on in their career. I'm not saying this guy is shady, just that other people in other walks of life may be charismatic but have no clue what they're talking about.

My English is my second language. When I’m taking notes during lecture I have to try to understand what does professor said. If there’s a new word that I didn’t understand, I consult the book and review them. This is some tips to help me a lot and make me a better note taker at any speed.

[@runningboy93]

As an AP World History teacher, I heartily endorse this video. Bravo

As a more senior learner, i have just completed a few 8-month courses and just recently been doing exams - In reviewing why I could not remember as much as I thought I should do; watching these videos has been a revelation... ...From being a teenager to today the teaching part has not changed much at all. And this is a bad thing as neither time in my student 'life's' has very little been taught on how to revise, to take notes etc, like this tutor does. If I knew the information taught here then is would have achieved FAR MORE and created less stress for myself. ...Sadly, here in the UK, it is basically a bit of help but you are on your own...I first came across this tutor last Saturday-most of the way through my exams ...if only I saw this last year. Now I will put these ideas into practice in parts of my life that writing down information is important. Fantastic and informative series of videos ...Many thanks from here in Britain and good luck to all students everywhere.

[@MelodyofTime]

This is really good stuff. I watched this 3 years ago when I started 10th grade and it really helped me. Now I'm watching it again to prepare myself for my first year of university and it's still as helpful as I remember it to be back then :)

I started watching this gentleman's presentations only yesterday. I hit upon the link by chance. After listening to the first video clip, I couldn't stop myself from watching a second one, and a third one. This one must be the fourth, I guess. As I'm learning ESL, these lectures are very useful to me. They are also useful academically. His voice is so clear that I can do a lot of practice on listening. I like these very much.

I'm not bitter, but I find it amazing how the school system completely fails to teach you how to learn.
