An approachable introduction to note-taking approaches and preparing to use what you record. It is particularly relevant to students trying to make study time more purposeful, whether they use paper or a computer.
Why we recommend this video
Treat notes as material you will organize, question and retrieve later, rather than a full transcript of everything you hear. The best format is one you can actually review.
