In this chapter, i had learnt about how to take notes from a lecture effectively. Lecturer had gave lectured in the class about effective note-taking system which is very helpful for me.Im gonna share my knowledge about it to all of my readers.

What Is Note Taking?

Writing down ideas from lecturers and readings in our own words. 

Why We Need To Take Notes?

1. To always remember what we already learnt in class-  It can helps students to remember what lecturer had said in class
2. Be prepare for examination- Students can prepare for their tests outside of the classroom when they have a good set of notes with them.
3. To do review- Students can do their assignments when they have notes with them.
4. It will stimulates your critical thinking skills- It is good for students to think while read again their notes
5. It will helps us to pay attention in class

8. Helps us take ownership of ideas
9. Helps us engage our senses
10. Helps us organize and process data and information
11. Helps the lecturers test students on how well they captured given information.

Take time every day to review notes!

Why We Need To Review Notes?

• It is because we lose 80% of what we hear if it is not reviewed within a few hours
• Identify any questions for peers, the next class or to ask the lecturer.
• There is not enough time to absorb all the information given in class if it is not reviewed on a regular basis
• Think ” if i were tested on this lecture tomorrow, would i answer it? ” Make it so!

Why ‘ Recapture ‘ Notes After Class?

• Frees you up to write in quick and shorthand during class
• An excellent test-prep strategy for reinforcing information better than re-copying, this time you are digesting & rephrasing.
• Great for kinesthetic learners
• Can catch ups gaps, look-up words or prompts higher level questions
• Saves hours of studying & review the day before test.

How Do We Review After A Class?

1. Review notes along with the book
2. Create our own examples
3. Discuss and compare notes with others
4. Re-write notes
5. Practice those skills you wish to develop
6. Ask for clarification

What Materials Do We Need?

10. Leave spaces between the lines so that you can add information later

Physical Factors:

• Doorways, window glare,etc
•  Peers
• Seating- We need to sit in front or center to avoid distraction, have better vision and hearing in class.

How Do We Take Notes?

Mood of Lecturers:

• Observation is the key.

Key actions to note as you observe your instructor:

1. Be alert to repetition
2. Watch the board or overhead projector
3. Notice the instructors’ interest level
4. Let go of judgements about lecture styles

What Happens When Your Instructor Isn’t Too Interesting?

This is some tips to help you when this happens:

• When you notice your attention slipping, you need to pay attention to the act of writing.
• Ask questions when you have chances- Whatever question you think is ” dumb ” which is on the mind of several classmates.
• Volunteers for demonstrations and discussions.
• Sit in the front of the room. It has been proven that students who sit close to the front are most likely to do better on tests because it is harder to fall asleep and the board is easier to read. In addition, the instructor also can see you more easily when you sit in front.

The Best Method Of Taking Notes:

• Cornell notes

• Two column method

• Outlining

• Mapping method

• Sentence method

What Is The Meaning Of SQ4R?

• Survey- overview with quick scan
• Question- establish a purpose

In this chapter, i had learnt about strategies for improving my concentration in class and also memory strategies. I also learned to understand the memory processing and concentration. Apart from that, i had learned about reading and study system or well known as (SQ3R). This chapter can help me to more concentrate in my classes and enhance my performance in every subject.

Learning Pyramid:

This is Learning Pyramid.I think it will help all of you to know better about strategies to improve your memory and concentration in your class.

Memory VS Brain

• Memory: The retention of information over time or the mind stores and remember information ( mental processes/cognition) like computer software.

• Brain: An organ like computer hardware.

-> When we learn, and remember, we will encode, store, and retrieve the information. The analogy is like a computer.

Memory Structure

• Definition: Capacity to remember

 Two functional system:

• Working memory
• Long-term memory

Functions of Memory:

1. Storage of information (putting information in memory)
2. Retrieval of information (getting information out of memory)
3. System specific functions.

Two Component Memory Model:

Remembering & Forgetting

The steps:

1. Encoding- Process of transforming to-be-remembered information into a form that can be stored in memory.
2. Storage- Process of placing information in long-term memory.
3. Rehearsal- Process that enables a person to transfer information from working to long-term memory
4. Retrieval- Process of searching through LTM for information needed for present use.

Cause of forget:

1. Trace decay
2. Proactive interference
3. Retroactive interference

Movement Characteristics Relate to Memory:

1. Location & distance characteristics
2. Meaningfulness of the movement

Steps to enhance Memory:

1. The intention to remember
2. Subjective organization
3. Increasing a movement’s meaningfulness :

• Visual metaphoric imagery
• Verbal label
• ‘ CHUNKING PROCESS ‘

Working Memory Processing of Information:

• Information processed to allow person to achieve action goal or goal of problem out hand.

1. Remember how to perform
2. Solve a specific movement problem

‘ OH NO! I FORGOT! ‘

Why We Often forget:

1. Distraction
2. Time factor
3. Focus

Ways to Easily Remember:

1. Choices
2. Interest
3. Repetition
4. Practice

Long-Term Memory (LTM)

Definition: Memory that involves the storage and recall of information over a long period of time (such as days, weeks, or years)

Functions of Long-Term Memory:

Allows people to have information about specific past events as well as general knowledge

Duration:

Unknown since we cannot satisfactorily measure duration of info in LTM

Capacity: 

Relatively unlimited

Type:

1. Procedural- Stores information about ” how to do ” specific activities, for example: motor skills
2. Semantic- Stores our general knowledge about the world based upon experiences, for example: concepts
3. Episodic- Stores our knowledge about personally experienced events. Allows us to ” travel back in time”.

Working Memory (WM)

Definition: The part of short-term memory which is concerned with immediate conscious perceptual and linguistic processing.

Functions:

Enables people to respond according to the demands of a ” right now ” situation.

1. Critical role in decision making, problem solving, movement planning and execution
2. Interacts with long-term memory
3. Interactive workspace

Duration:

Maintains information for 20-30 seconds before losing parts of info

Capacity:

• Store- 7 items (+/-2)
• Person can increase capacity by ” Chunking “.

Type:

1. Phonological – Storage of verbal cues/info
2. Visuospatial Sketchpad – Visually detected spatial info
3. Central Executive – Coordinate info in WM include retrieve from LTM.

Honestly, this is a new environment for me since the situation in university is totally different from the school.
