Note-Taking Tips
Your notes are a reminder of what you learned in class. Taking good
notes can help you succeed in science. These tips will help you take
better notes.
• Be an active listener. Listen for important concepts. Pay attention
to words, examples, and/or diagrams your teacher emphasizes.
• Write your notes as clearly and concisely as possible. The following
symbols and abbreviations may be helpful in your note-taking.
Word or Symbol or Word or Symbol or
Phrase Abbreviation Phrase Abbreviation
for example e.g. and +
such as i.e. approximately (cid:1)
with w/ therefore (cid:1)
without w/o versus vs
• Use a symbol such as a star (★ ) or an asterisk (*) to emphasis
important concepts. Place a question mark (?) next to anything that
you do not understand.
• Ask questions and participate in class discussion.
c.
