Note-taking and Note-making.
Materials developed by the Learner Development Unit
at the University of Bradford
Objectives:
 identify why note-taking is important
 distinguish between note-taking and note-making
 recognise different ways of taking effective notes
Why? Active Learning!
Actively engage with your source by participating in:
1. Summary
2. Memory
3. Revision
4. Concentration
What is taking notes? The Magic Four!
1. Summary  creates an overview of an entire topic by the end of it
2. Memory writing it down helps you retain the information
3. Revision  allows you to refine and improve your understanding
4. Concentration being active, rather than passive, requires and prevents
distraction and accommodates concentration
Active Listening and Reading Components
Prepare Yourself Sit up straight, have your sources and
materials handy, be mentally ready to INTERACT with the
source without distractions or disruptions.
Make Good Decisions Whats the point of this source? What is
important to record? Why? How should you do it?
Hearing/Seeing is More than Listening/Looking Even if the
source is boring, biased, unattractive, etc., acquire the
information needed
Patterns Discover patterns of organization and emphasis
Key Component
JOT IT DOWN. Some people make copious
notes, others merely need a few key
phrases. Even strong auditory learners
need something to aid their memory. The
message is, dont just sit there reading or
listening  record something.
Note-taking versus Note-making.
Its simple!
Note-taking is recording key information from another
source
Note-making returning to those notes to annotate,
put things into your own words, summarize and
highlight, and add your ideas and impressions to the
information
Types of Notes:
Linear, Visual or Voiced
 Linear: typical classroom notes written in words
 Visual: images, shapes, colors, and other expressions without focus on
words
 Voiced: audio-recorded sources and responses to the source
Linear Note-Taking Components
Create a specific template which you follow for all of your notes. It
should include:
1. Title: source and date
2. Purpose of your notes: Why do you want to learn this?
3. Purpose and Background of Source Information
4. Main points, examples, and evidence (this is the big part)
5. Questions raised by the source
Visual Notes
 Diagrams, charts, tables, graphs, maps
 Colors, sizes, styles
 Symbols, icons, doodles

Voiced (or Audio) Notes
 Helps reinforce learning and aids auditory learners
 Use any technology that records but does not distract others.
Lectures and Lessons
 Record a lecture and play it back later.
 Then record your own notes of what you remember from what you have
heard and compare with the original source.
Texts
 Take pictures or download files of sources to use outside the classroom. Be
sure this is okay with the creator and presenter of the source.
