lecture. Will she be able to keep up?

say. If you miss something, leave a gap in your notes, and get the information
from me later.

some hard work. Mary’s in a lecture, struggling to write down everything that

hand-in-hand. Any business in a marketplace is likely to be in competition with
other firms offering similar products…

6. You need one of these...a voice recorder...just record the whole thing, listen
back to it later. Easy!
 7. Writing things down is probably more useful. It gives you a chance to ask for
clarification. Just jot down the important bits...I’ll emphasise these bits in the
lecture. I’ll say something like ‘this bit is useful to know...’.
8. Write down what I say in your own words - although if I quote someone, make
sure you write it down word-for-word. And use words, abbreviations, symbols or
even pictures to summarise what I say. If you miss something, leave a gap in
your notes, and get the information from me later.
9. Remember to read through your notes after the lecture, and of course, anything
you do miss you can find in my new book ‘Funny Business’.
10. That’s been a useful lesson. Note taking is an important skill to learn. If you’re
not sure where to start, ask for help.
