THE NOTETAKING PROCESS
what to do before, during and after class
BEFORE CLASS
How should you be preparing your notes for classes or lectures?
Print out and review any lecture notes or slides if available so you can figure out the structure of the class and the main headings that will be covered
Identify main concepts and terms you expect to learn
Search up any unfamiliar terms, phrases or concepts and get definitions or one sentence explanations
Write questions you hope the class will answer
Make note of any information that could be helpful from previous classes or readings, for example, key people, dates, formulae, definitions, etc.
Read any set preparation material from textbooks or articles and notes down your immediate thoughts
DURING CLASS
What should you do while in class to get the best notes?
Take notes in your own words
Use consistent abbreviations and symbols
Include notes for all aspects of the class (eg. discussions and visuals)
Answer any questions you wrote before class
Add depth and detail to the notes you bring to class (eg. are there any specific examples that the teacher brings up for example?)
Note new questions or areas of confusion from the lecture so you can review those concepts later
Capture main ideas and sufficient detail (definitions, examples, images)
Make connections between concepts both from within the class and from previous classes
AFTER CLASS
Now that you have notes, what should you do with them?
Make time to return to your notes after class, at the very least to read over them
Add clarification and explanation to any areas where you were confused and look up any questions you had (you could also ask your teacher)
Compare notes with a friend or study partner to check for any missed information
Transform your notes into a new format (e.g. mind map, quiz questions, study guide)
Create short summaries with the most important information and keep for later revision (you could even challenge yourself to a certain word limit)
Use your notes to self-test on key concepts by creating your own practice questions and mark schemes

18/100 days of productivity - cramming french & finishing my lingusitcs course
Life update✨ my love is already working in Bordeaux and I'm still in Normandy waiting for my work contract to finish up so I can pack up and go there. It'll be our 3rd place living together and I'm super excited to decorate our new little home! Though on the flip side, I'm a little heartbroken having to leave Normandy. In my crusty French, I made a few friends that'll be hard to say goodbye to, and my coworkers are breaking my heart because I don't want to leave them. However, I am also excited for a new chapter to begin in a new city, fingers crossed everything will turn out alright! 🤍

I’m still alive!
I know I haven’t posted anything in a while… school has been exhausting lately.
There have been a lot of projects, tests, expositions, assignments…
It was my birthday a few days ago and I had two exams and an exposition to prepare.
Anyways, here are some pictures of a few notes. Digital and on paper… which one do you prefer?

Day 1: What’s your favourite podcast? I don't really listen to podcasts all that much but of the ones I've listened to, my favourite is Welcome To Nightvale. It evokes such indescribable and primal emotions 🤌
In other news, I now have a driving license! I drive whenever we go out now. And they've finally started with the counselling for medical colleges. I'm sitting here with fingers crossed that I'll get into the one that I've put as my top priority.
The last few days were a huge slump and I didn't get much done. But things are starting to get better and maybe I'll be fully prepared by the time college starts. My best friend has already started in engineering college and the clubs, her friends,,,,,, it all sounds so fun I can't even wait.
Today, I cleaned out the closet in the unused room where I dumped all the things I was too lazy to organize (do u relate lol). So now I'm about to shower and go to bed.
Hope you had a great day :)
Love, Sam
