Note Taking Skills; Use a Key
Don’t waste time rewriting the same long names and words in your notes. Create a key with your abbreviations for the particular set of notes your taking. I usually put this key on the first page of notes in the upper right. I might start off with several key terms that I know will crop up, but I usually add others as the class progresses.
Example:
N – Napoleon
W – Wellington
Br – British
Fr – French
Wl – Waterloo
Now, instead of having to quickly write, “Wellington and British achvd great victory over Napoleon and French at Waterloo,” you could write “W and Br achvd great victory over N and Fr at Wl.”
