Topic 6:TAKING LECTURER NOTES

                                                 <TAKING NOTES STRATEGIES>                                                                

(1)Cornell Method

The Cornell Method has been and remains one of the most popular note-taking strategies among the students this day.This technique can be seen above and in the accompanying diagram.You can divide it into three section.

The right corner is home to the general area.This is where you can keep your most important ideas that your lecturer has covered during class.Meanwhile,the left corner is the compliment of the general ideas.Writing notes in the margins help us to understand and relate to each point of our notes.The last section is labelled summary should be left blank during class as it is intended for use when you are reviewing the notes after the class.

(2)Underline Key Words

It's advisable to underline the most important learning concepts of the lesson as they will stand out more clearly and you will be more inclined to memorize them.The notes will be easily to read and you also can review them more quickly because you can use the underline parts as a guide and no need to read the entire passage every time you want to revise your notes again.

Topic 5:MEMORY,LEARNING AND IMPROVING CONCENTRATION

<MEMORY PROCESS>

Memory is essentially the capacity for storing retrieving information.Three processes are involved in memory:

• encoding
• storage
• retrieval                                                                                 

All these memory processes determine whether something is remembered or forgotten.

(1)Encoding

Processing information into memory is called encoding.People automatically encode some types of information without being aware of it.For example,most of the people can recall where they ate lunch yesterday even though they didn't try to remember this information.

(2)Storage

After the information enters the human brain,it has to be stored or maintained.

(3)Retrieval

Retrieval is the process of getting information out of memory.Retrieval cues are stimuli that help the process of retrieval.Retrieval cues include associations,context and mood.

               

                                 <MEMORY STRATEGIES>                                                 

(1)Chunking  

For me,it will be more easier to memorize information when you break it up into small chunks.You may not realize it but you use chunking often.For example,when you try to memorize your friend's number phone,a locker combination and your account password.It's easier to remember long numbers when you "chunk" them into more smaller groups.

(2)Graphic Organizer

These method can help you see thing that you are trying to learn.They help organize information.There are many different types of graphic organizer and you can even design them yourself.For examples,you can draw web for the main topic and details and Venn Diagram for comparing and contrasting.

(3)Acronyms

Acronyms is a word made up from the first letters of a list of words.You can take the list of words or facts that you want to remember and put them in an order so that the first letters of each word,spell a real word or a made-up word.

(4)Playing Games

Playing some games is a great way to memorize information.You see,as you play the game you are learning the material and practicing it over and over again.Games is well known that can help you remember facts,formulas,definition and any other information easily.
