HOW TO TAKE NOTES USING A MODIFIED OUTLINE

What procedure is used to write a modified outline? Use modified outline (topic)
      Indent supporting details
      Separate points on separate lines
      Leave white space
      Leave a wide left margin		 A modified outline, such as the one you see on the left half of this screen, is helpful to use as you take notes in classes.  This requires leaving about two inches on the left side of your page for questions, either added during or after class, and taking notes on the right three quarters of the page.

As you take notes, write the topic on the first line and then indent supporting details on subsequent lines, using a separate line for each point. 

While taking notes, it may be important to develop abbreviations to help you jot down more information.  It doesn't matter what system you use for abbreviations but try to be consistent so when you look at your notes a few days after you've taken them, you still understand what you wrote.
What four techniques can be used for speeding up the writing process? Abbreviations
     Eliminate vowels
     Use word beginnings
     Use standard symbols
     Create your own abbreviations
