Response
Notes can help in a number of ways. See how the following suggestions compare with yours:
- Concentrating - the process of thinking and writing can help you to focus your attention and so learn more effectively.
- Remembering - just writing something down can help you remember it, and you can also refer back to it to check your memory.
- Keeping a record - this may be important when you are shown how to do something, when you read a book from the library that you will not have access to later, or when you listen to a talk or lecture
- Summarising - you may wish to use notes to summarise a chapter in a book or to note down the key points of a procedure you are learning
- Reordering or reorganising material - in a way that suits your learning, or which separates out the things you need to learn
- Highlighting key points - so you can easily refer to them later
- Planning - you may find notes a helpful way of putting down your initial ideas when you are planning an assignment, essay, report or presentation.
