How to take good notes

So, I personally like to re-write my notes at home, because otherwise they are a jumbled mess. So here are my tips for revision notes.

1. Title: I like to use a highlighter/midliner to do this. I take a that goes with the color scheme I am going for (pink highlighter with a pink pen.) I like to do block letters or bubble letters. (There are many more things you can do though.)

2. Method: I like to use an outlining method, but you could do the Cornell method. (For one set of notes, I made a table, but I’ll talk about that in a separate post.)

Outlining Method: For this method use the same color pen as the title, and use that for subheadings. Once I’ve wrote the subheading, I take a black pen, and write out the definition of the subheading (if there is one). Then I start using bullet points to show key points. I am still using a black pen.

Cornell Method: If you prefer to use the Cornell Note Method, I recommend that you for your questions, you write them in whatever color you used for your title. When you write your answers to the questions, I would recommend using a black pen so it’s easy to distinguish the questions from the answers. When you do the summary, use the color you used for the title to write your subheading. Then use your black pen to write out the rest of your summary.

3. Diagrams: When writing your notes, consider adding diagrams, such as graphs, tables, charts, or models (ex- DNA, Cell, etc.) These can help you visualize what you are talking about in your notes.

I hope this helps! If you have any other tips, leave them down below! I will be making a corresponding YouTube video to go a long with this post! Thanks for reading!
