Select the best practice for note-taking in class.
a. Listen first, decide what is most important, then write down those things. Organize the concepts. Add your own connections, comments, and questions.
b. Listen first, then transcribe every word that your instructor says since it's very important to write down their exact wording. Then add your own connections, comments, and questions.
c. Use a computer or cell phone to record the audio so you don't have to take notes and tire out your hand. That way, all you have to do is playback the audio before your final exam.
d. Ask a friend in the class to take notes for you. That way, you can relax more while you are in class and get some of the work done for your other classes.
