How you can boost your grades with great note taking skills

This pretty much sums up everything you need to know to succeed at your studies. Three note taking styles are explained here and, crucially, how and why you need to review your notes, once a week for DEEPER LEARNING and doing fantastically well in exams! 

Any student who did half of what is suggested in this video must improve their grades.

Notetaking is like Texting: you process information for its key points and ideas

Several students who reviewed their academic year recognised the importance of taking good notes.  That is, knowing the key points to make and writing notes in a condensed form. This teacher makes an excellent point on the relationship between text messaging and note-taking. Students have to make decisions many times a day and PROCESS the key/main points in their text messages. 

I've been pushing the Cornell method of making notes with my students and it is an excellent method for making effective notes which great for revising for exams, etc. I'll post a template for this type of note taking soon.
