Be sure to know what to write when taking notes. There are two tendencies to take notes in class: one is to remember the teacher's original words word for word, and the result is that you miss the key points because you can't keep up with the speed; Second, just remember the topic and the content is empty. Generally speaking, what the teacher writes on the blackboard is often the focus of the text and should be written down. However, it is not enough to remember what the teacher wrote, but also to find out the difficulties and doubts. This is to find out the problems that need to be paid attention to in class and to lay the foundation for the summary of the following chapters. Of course, not only the problems found in the preview need to be memorized, but also the problems found at any time during the lecture can be recorded. This is a new difficulty for you to think after class or ask others for advice. Even if it is temporarily understood, it can also be used to prevent forgetting or deepening the impression.

Secondly, don't take too many notes, and don't want to write everything down. It is not difficult to remember what is in the textbook and what is not or not understood in the textbook as long as you have done the preview. It is a very important principle to determine what you remember according to your mastery of the text. Third, the note is an outline, which reminds you of the main content of the class and gives you a hint as soon as you see it. So one thing to master when taking notes is to remember the essence and key points. The essence is the "finishing touch" that is often said. When giving lectures, teachers often say a few concluding remarks in some places, or make some comments on some places, or even seem to be off topic. These words often leave a deep impression on people and are easily associated with them. Such words can also be written down, because it is not only a reminder of what was said in class, but also may remind people of the scene at that time after a long time; Give us new inspiration and make us feel enlightened.

Many people find it difficult to take notes and can't keep up with the teacher's progress. Sometimes you can't keep up with the last sentence when you remember it, or you can't remember it when you listen. This is a common phenomenon. To solve this problem, we must master a labor-saving and clear method. First of all, don't take notes like copying a text. The text should be concise. Some commonly used words and terms can be replaced by one or two words, even letters, followed by abbreviations and dashes to remind yourself that they are omitted here. You can also use explanatory language or some words that can make you associate. However, it is important to pay attention to these methods, that is, the note-taking language used must be familiar and easy to understand. If you can't figure it out at the moment, all your efforts will be in vain. If you can learn shorthand, you will take notes more efficiently.
