thehockeykid Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 I know many people take notes differently so how do u take them? Curious at all the diff methods Chemistry -print out slides be4 class 6 images /page memorization -annotate a 6 image/page pdf on my computer then later on i print them out -i find it is faster to type up stuff, then to write by hand no lecture slides -I arrange stuff into topics and type it out.

a1b1 Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 Depends for the course. If i know the teacher asks his questions straight from his or her notes, I just print the slides and learn/memorize. For other courses such as physiology, where the teacher may ask questions from his lectures + book, I print the slides in advance, 3 per page with the lines next to them. I bring those slides to class, and if he mentions something relevant I add them, then afterwards when i read the chapters in the book, if i find some things better explained in the book I add those too.

ellorie Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 When I was in undergrad I taped all my lectures and re-listened while handwriting a set of comprehensive notes to study from. Now in med, I take notes on my computer in class then when I get home I hand-write a comprehensive set of notes from my preliminary notes and the slides.

Is it just me or does listening to lectures + taking notes take a really long time? The first time I did that I thought it would be min per min, but it did not work out that way haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellorie Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 It's about 2:1 for me most of the time - 2 hours for 1 hour of lecture. More if it's dense, less if it's scanty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stefangg Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 In my university, they don't allow the recording of their lectures. So that's a big no-no for me. Personally, I just sit there and listen. I do write down some stuff that isn't on the slides already, but mostly I just absorb what's said. Been working for me so far.

tooty Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 In my university, they don't allow the recording of their lectures. easy. sit at the front and record anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ditde Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 I never write anything down during the lecture, it doesn't work for me. I try to treat the lectures as an interesting documentary or a tv-show, basically a form of entertainment and just enjoy it. Then I go home and watch the lectures online while hand-writing out my notes. And yes, it takes a very long time. For me it's around 2.5:1, but that might be that I tend to get a bit distracted.

aaronjw Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 easy. sit at the front and record anyway. Agree OR get a really good recorder and sit anywhere and still get good audio quality. I got my recorder for $150 (reg $240 I think) and it picks up audio from pretty much anywhere even if I put the recorder under my seat. And if its a bit weak then I just enhance it via some software and bobs your uncle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah for me it's anywhere from 1.5:1-3:1 Does anyone know if those recorders who 'write down' what the prof says actually work? When I heard those Best Buy commericals I actually went to check it out bt they started talking about having to 'train' the recorder so I just settled for the one I have now haha I guess writing down the notes can be better, it's just annoying for courses that use lectures and textbook lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
