How To Take Better Lecture Notes LBCC Study Skills

The document is a transcript of an instructor giving a workshop on taking better lecture notes. The instructor asks students why it is important to take notes during lectures. Students respond that it is to remember the material. The instructor explains that while students may be able to focus and concentrate during a lecture, human memory is fallible and it is nearly impossible to remember details weeks later without notes. The instructor stresses that good, complete notes can be restudied for tests, while relying solely on memory risks students being unable to recall or explain the material when tested. The workshop will cover seven strategies for improving note-taking from lectures.

00:11
uh...
00:12
todays workshop is called taking better lecture notes in just a quick uh... word
00:15
about the one next week it's called how to predict test questions
00:19
this is the first one of five workshops in a row i think it is that all have
00:24
that
00:25
terrible "T" word in it which is test or tests
00:28
so it's kind of a long series in how to become a great test taker which always
00:33
helps so that's uh... what's coming up next week
00:36
now i wanted to ask everybody a question before we start and uh... again
00:41
participation is welcome in these workshops
00:44
we're talking about taking notes while teachers are lecturing today so my
00:48
question is
00:49
kind of a simple one but i don't know if you've ever thought of this
00:52
why is it important or helpful for you to take notes
00:56
while a teacher is talking
00:58
what's the whole point of even doing that
01:01
to remember
01:03
yeah uh... one of the things that is the simplist way i can describe it is
01:08
you wanna take notes so that you don't have to rely on your memory
01:12
later on
01:13
you could be a fantastic listener and you can concentrate really well on the
01:17
teacher but unless you have an amazing ability to remember that
01:22
two or three or four weeks later when you're studying for a test on that
01:25
material
01:26
uh... it's almost impossible to remember what a teacher said
01:31
that's why you want to rely on your notes and if your notes are good and
01:35
they're complete and you can
01:36
study a lot from them
01:37
you should do better as a result
01:39
uh... the class that i teach
01:42
which is learn eleven a study skills course
01:45
my students are required on every test among other things
01:48
to do a
01:49
short writing probably less than a page where they describe in detail
01:54
something that i've taught them in class kind of like their teaching it back to
01:57
me
01:58
and very often amazingly often especially early in the semester
02:02
i get a student who writes as their answer
02:06
i don't remember
02:08
and how many points do they get for that
02:11
uh...
02:12
the big zero right and so what they're basically saying is
02:15
i was there that day it's like three weeks ago i remember
02:19
what you were talking about even remember what you were wearing
02:22
but i can't quite remember what you said and they're trying to actually go back
02:26
and remember
02:28
that's dangerous
02:29
so that's why you write it in your notes so that you can go over it and over it and
02:32
when the test comes it's still fresh in your mind that's the goal okay
02:36
so uh... as i mentioned a few minutes ago i'm gonna give you a handout that
02:41
uh... is sort of a a outline of what i'm gonna talk about hopefully i'll be able
02:45
to get all the way through this
02:47
today there's always a lot that i would love to share
02:50
never enough time so
02:53
i'll just go ahead and sort of give you a
02:54
but you can kind of pass that back
02:56
if there are extras back there you can just hold on to them and i'll get 'em at
02:59
the end and actually let me put some here
03:03
case people show up late
03:05
okay so in order to take better lecture notes uh... there are seven things
03:10
listed here uh... couple of little sub points so this will hopefully be easy for
03:14
you to follow uh...
