CHAPTER 15
Navigating Notes
Taking notes in class is a good study habit.
PRODUCT PREVIEW
Have you ever: forgotten what you learned in class on the very same day you learned it? misunderstood your teacher’s directions? wished you could have a do-over of your teacher’s lectures? You’ve heard it before, but it’s worth repeating: As you move through high school and into college, content (that’s the stuff you are supposed to learn) gets more difficult. Classes move faster and teachers’ expectations increase. Lectures are longer and jam-packed with information you must remember. To succeed in high school and college, you’ll need to take notes in class. In this and the next chapter, you’ll learn how to efficiently and effectively take notes. You’ll also learn why it’s a really good idea to get into the habit of taking notes in every class. Let’s start navigating notes!
Learning Goals By the end of this chapter you will be able to: 1. Explain the benefits of taking class notes. 2. Compare “to know” and “to do” information. 3. Use abbreviations for efficient note-taking. 4. Restate eight rules for navigating notes.
