QUIZ

What strategy do you use for taking notes in your classes?

A.  Write everything the professor says

B.  Write notes in an outline form

C.  Write notes in a modified outline form

D.  Copy everything appearing on overheads

One strategy that has proven to be very useful is the modified outline form, which will be explained later in this presentation.  It's not possible to write everything the professor says because we speak at the rate of 150 - 200 words per minute and can write only about 25 words per minute.  While it may be useful to copy everything on overheads, those are probably only the main ideas and additional information will be needed as one studies for the test.
