The 80% Rules
• Students spend 80% of class time listening to lectures
• 80% of what is not noted is forgotten after two weeks
![Page 3: Academic Support A Division of the Office of Undergraduate Studies](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110320/56649ccd5503460f949987c2/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Listen; Don’t Just Write
• You have to be able to listen as well as record notes
• Listen for understanding, not just to take notes
![Page 4: Academic Support A Division of the Office of Undergraduate Studies](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110320/56649ccd5503460f949987c2/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
General Note-Taking Tips• Separate out reading notes, lecture
notes, and homework in your notebook• Draw pictures when helpful• Record enough so you can remember
what was being said• Don’t assume you will remember
information without writing it down

![Page 8: Academic Support A Division of the Office of Undergraduate Studies](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110320/56649ccd5503460f949987c2/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

![Page 9: Academic Support A Division of the Office of Undergraduate Studies](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110320/56649ccd5503460f949987c2/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Cornell Method
![Page 10: Academic Support A Division of the Office of Undergraduate Studies](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110320/56649ccd5503460f949987c2/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Cornell Setup
• Set your notes page up like this for the Cornell method
• It seems like a lot of paper, but the blank spaces will be filled later on
![Page 11: Academic Support A Division of the Office of Undergraduate Studies](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110320/56649ccd5503460f949987c2/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The Six “R”s of the Cornell Method
• Record• Reduce• Recite• Reflect• Review• Recapitulate
Name
![Page 12: Academic Support A Division of the Office of Undergraduate Studies](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110320/56649ccd5503460f949987c2/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The First Three “R”s
• Record the notes in paragraph form in the note-taking area
• Reduce the paragraphs to key words/key phrases in the cue column area
• Recite the information from the paragraph notes looking only at the key words/phrases
![Page 13: Academic Support A Division of the Office of Undergraduate Studies](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110320/56649ccd5503460f949987c2/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The Last Three “R”s
• Reflect on the information to come up with your own ideas
• Review the notes about once a week• Recapitulate (summarize) the entire
page in a few lines in the summaries area
![Page 14: Academic Support A Division of the Office of Undergraduate Studies](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110320/56649ccd5503460f949987c2/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
![Page 15: Academic Support A Division of the Office of Undergraduate Studies](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110320/56649ccd5503460f949987c2/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The Charting Method
![Page 16: Academic Support A Division of the Office of Undergraduate Studies](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110320/56649ccd5503460f949987c2/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Charting
• Similar to the Cornell Method • Fill in all columns at the same time
![Page 17: Academic Support A Division of the Office of Undergraduate Studies](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110320/56649ccd5503460f949987c2/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
The Outlining Method
![Page 18: Academic Support A Division of the Office of Undergraduate Studies](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110320/56649ccd5503460f949987c2/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Outlining
• Start with the more general information on the far left
• Indent as the information is more specific• The relationships between the different parts
is carried out through indenting. • No numbers, letters, or Roman numerals are
needed, but can be used
![Page 19: Academic Support A Division of the Office of Undergraduate Studies](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110320/56649ccd5503460f949987c2/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Outlining
• Best for science classes• Have to think about what you are
writing and make it make sense• Make sure that there is enough time to
think about the points in the lecture
![Page 20: Academic Support A Division of the Office of Undergraduate Studies](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110320/56649ccd5503460f949987c2/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
![Page 21: Academic Support A Division of the Office of Undergraduate Studies](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110320/56649ccd5503460f949987c2/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
The Sentence Method
![Page 22: Academic Support A Division of the Office of Undergraduate Studies](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110320/56649ccd5503460f949987c2/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Sentence Method
• Write every new point on a different line• Number the lines• Use when the professor teaches in points
without grouping those points• Most likely going to have to rewrite notes
to be able to understand them much later
![Page 23: Academic Support A Division of the Office of Undergraduate Studies](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110320/56649ccd5503460f949987c2/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
The Sentence Method Example
![Page 24: Academic Support A Division of the Office of Undergraduate Studies](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110320/56649ccd5503460f949987c2/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
The Mapping Method
![Page 25: Academic Support A Division of the Office of Undergraduate Studies](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110320/56649ccd5503460f949987c2/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Mapping Method
• Easy to see relationships• As things get broken down, they make
new levels of the map
![Page 26: Academic Support A Division of the Office of Undergraduate Studies](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110320/56649ccd5503460f949987c2/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
