Overview
Note taking means to record information obtained from other sources (lectures, books, internet) in a systematic manner. The practice of note-taking allows students to review material without solely relying on their memory. Not all students have good note taking skills, and some would argue that the traditional method of note taking is not the most suitable method for all students.
The Visual-Note-Taking Strategy is defined as the process of representing information non-linguistically. This means through drawings or pictures. It can be simple using sketches or doodles or more complex using mind mapping or concept maps as representations.
Note-taking is a skill that takes some practice, but it makes a tremendous difference in grades and -more importantly- it will improve your ability to learn and feel successful.
