area and remember what they have heard or read, it also helps to use multiple senses and activities
so that can make the students as an active learner. Good notes should arrange topics into easy to
review chunks of information that are clear and well referenced. Write down relevant facts,
opinions, and examples to help jog memory, and use shortcuts such as abbreviations, symbol and
drawings to draw attention to important points.

reading, organize and store notes in well labeled folders and file them according to week, topic or
assignment.

letters, or roman numerals or decimals to indicate major or minor points. Outlining records content
and relationships, reduce editing, as is easy to review, however it requires more thought in class
and may not show relationships by sequences. But this system cannot used if the lecture is too fast.
