Your current note taking habits - Nov. 29

Before we start discussing note taking and note taking strategies, take 5 minutes or so to reflect on your own note taking habits. Consider the following:

- Do you ever take notes? Why or why not?
- How important do you think note taking will be in college?
- If you have taken notes in the past, have you ever learned about notetaking strategies?
- What, if any, note taking strategies do you use?
- Do you try to organize your notes as you take them? Why or why not?
- To what extent do you review notes before a test - how often and how much?
- What kinds of symbols or shorcuts do you use in your notes?
