Effective Note Taking: Tips to Improve Your Study Habits

Note taking is an essential part of studying, and developing your own note taking style can significantly improve your learning experience. However, note taking should not just be a process of copying information from the board or textbook. It should be personalised to your learning style and optimised for effective retention and understanding. Here are some tips to improve your note taking habits:

Structure Your Notes for Organisation and Revision

Your notes should have a clear structure with headings, subheadings, and lists for better organisation and revision. Writing notes as if you were explaining the topic to someone who does not take the course is a good practice to ensure that your notes are clear and logical.

Additionally, labelled diagrams and concept maps can help you visualise and understand complex information. Studies have shown that visual aids, such as images and diagrams, are easier to remember and recall than text alone.

2. Highlight and Use Colours to Emphasise Key Points

Highlighters and coloured pens are not just for making pretty notes. They can also help you categorise and emphasise key points, making them easier to remember. Develop your own colour coding system, using different colours for different topics, definitions, or important information. Symbols, such as stars or underlines, can also be used to create your own coding system.

3. Use Your Own Words and Avoid Copying Verbatim

Avoid the temptation to copy everything word for word from the board or textbook. Instead, focus on deciphering the key information and paraphrasing it into your own words. This not only saves time but also helps you consolidate your understanding of the topic. You can still incorporate high-level vocabulary and terminology into your notes but try to write most of the content in your own words for better comprehension.

4. Consider Using Cornell Notes

Cornell notes are a popular note taking system recommended by universities such as Cornell and Harvard. They include a heading at the top, a column on the side for keywords, main ideas, and questions, a large section in the middle for class notes, and a summary at the end for revision. However, note taking is a personal process, and you should incorporate elements that work for you.

In conclusion, developing your own note taking style can significantly improve your study habits. Remember, note taking should be a personalised process that suits your learning style and helps you retain and understand the material better.

WORLD AIDS DAY Tribute 2022. It’s not over yet. Please play safe.

Ended up illustrating all of the DND 5th edition potions as visual aids. Selling little diy cards/printouts of them for 2.19 on ETSY if anyone is interested. 

...Also made little boxes to put the cards in because the thought of little cards without a little box upsets me...

I love my dinky little potion boxes....I wish I could figure out how to print double sidded because I was gonna add stats on the back of the cards...

had full blown organized layout for all the potion info- including crafting info... but couldnt figure out how to stick the paper back into the printer so it would print right so, yeah....

I’m pretty sure after a certain age people just start failing with electronics...Sorry.

Today, December 1, the Cultural Arts Building at UNCW joins museums, galleries, and arts institutions around the world to observe Day With(out) Art. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The first Day With(out) Art was organized by Visual AIDS* in 1989. Coinciding with World AIDS Day on December 1, it was a call for action and mourning that would draw attention to the devastating impact of AIDS on the arts community. Hundreds of museums and galleries participated in the one-day moratorium on exhibitions, shrouding works of art and replacing them with information about the virus. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Thousands of arts institutions and organizations around the world continue to unite on December 1 to demonstrate the power of art to raise awareness about the AIDS crisis, which is far from over. Since the onset of the epidemic in the early 1980s, 79.3 million people worldwide have been infected and 36.3 million have died of AIDS. In 2020, 37.7 million people were living with HIV and 1.5 million were newly infected. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ To recognize Day With(out) Art 2022, a symbolic piece of fabric has been installed over a mural in the lobby and the CAB Art Gallery lights will be dimmed for the day.   ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Learn more about Day With(out) Art 2021 by visiting www.visualaids.org/blog/enduring-care  ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ *Visual AIDS provides free services to HIV+ artists, including artist web pages, documentation of artwork, advocacy, exhibition opportunities and Artists Materials Grants, to empower artists to create. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #DayWithoutart2022 #daywithoutart #visualaids #cabartgallery #uncwartgallery #uncwculturalartsbuilding #uncw #uncwilmington #wilmingtonnc #gallery #art #exhibition (at CAB Art Gallery at UNCW) https://www.instagram.com/p/CloqJVFPqX6/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
