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 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.
