How to Take Notes from the Textbook

So if you’re in school right now, your teacher has probably already started to teach you the curriculum, and some of my classes are just read the textbook, learn from the textbook, and come to class to be tested from the textbook. So really I am just reading the textbook and making notes then adding any needed information during the lecture whether in person in class or online through our school/khan academy/crash course. 

DISCLAIMER: This is a system that I have been using for the past three weeks and is in no way perfect or a “universal” way of notetaking. If you can adapt part of this to use, or if you like to use all of it. That is your prerogative and I hope that this can help you the slightest bit. 

So here is how some of my notes look, mainly all you can see are my history notes which I take in class, I don’t really write a lot for history, just because I “read” the textbook (it’s really just reading the summary at the end of the chapter) anyways so I write down anything that my teacher says that I feel is important or useful. I take down main ideas and if I had questions, I will read about them in-depth and also try and just search them up. 

Write the main ideas, any headers you see will have a main point in the text underneath, so make sure you’re reading properly. Any tips “Exam Tips” write them down and box them in with a pen or highlighter so that you can tell what is important when glancing through. Also, start with primarily black and white notes, then highlight things when going over that are important and that you need to know. 

Highlight vocabulary words, underline main concepts and themes, and then provide plenty of space for examples! Just jot down the important and write any work down. After class, maybe not right after, especially if you're in high school like I am but during that same day. Revise whatever you learned and add any more notes that you need so that when you go back that you can understand and connect everything that you have written down.

How to take Notes in Class

My first quarter of my senior year has recently just come to an end and I wanted to show how I take notes in class, if I have to because usually I get notes like in BC or I pre-write them at home like in AP Stats. So in the one class where I have to write my own notes, this is how I do.

I usually stick to an outlining method, however, I have tried the Cornell method of note-taking, mind maps, using charts, and even just writing down each and every word that my professor or teacher has said.

I will write any important things that my teacher has said, usually in a blue pen just because I heard once that blue sticks better in your mind and to be honest I still have no idea to this day whether that is true or not. Usually we'll start with a main topic, and I'll write down everything that I found necessary and I'll try and sum it up in my own words right the teacher is speaking usually off a powerpoint.

I'll make somethings shorthand and then took clear, concise, organized, and structured notes. You will see charts, images, or even emoticons when I am taking notes because these are easier visual images to learn and memories. If you teacher gives you a powerpoint beforehand, you can download them and write notes on the side or if you really want to waste paper, you can print them one-sided and just write on the back of it.

Use these questions to find out if you should jot down what your professor is teaching:

-Introductory remarks often include summaries of overviews of main points.

-Listen for signal words/phrases main reasons/overviews

-Repeated words or concepts are often important.

-Non-verbal cues like pointing, gestures, or a vocal emphasis on certain words, etc. can indicate important points.

-Summaries of the topic is important too

I hope this was helpful to everyone who is looking to solidify or improve parts of their note-taking method, while this form may not work for each class and depends on everyone as well I would recommend this for history, chemistry, biology, psychology, etc type of classes where it's more background learning. Then applying it in the classroom environment. I will post how I take notes for Calculus and Statistics and how I make my review sheets.
