How to take helpful notes
Do you struggle to capture important information during lectures or while reading? Are your notes unclear or disorganized? Join us for a practical workshop on mastering the art of effective notetaking! In this interactive session, you will learn valuable techniques to enhance your notetaking skills and support your learning.
This workshop will involve opportunities to reflect on how you take notes through a poll question. There will be discussion on advantages and disadvantages of note taking systems (for the in-person session this is in small-groups through a worksheet, for the online session this is done individually on a shared Mural board). Finally, there is a video where participants practice using a notetaking system that is new to them, followed by individual reflection.
