Some hints on taking notes 1. Take notes throughout the lecture. Try to write down as much information as you possibly can. Write vertically, not horizontally. Change to another line when necessary. Indention may be used to symbolize what is less important. 2. Always write down any terms that are new to you, definitions, specific facts, lists of items, and statistics. 3. Speakers will sometimes give clues telling you which points in a lecture are especially important and will be asked about. Some of the most common clues: a. Repetition of a point b. Emphasis from tone of voice or from pauses before or after making a point c. The amount of time spent on a point 4. Pay attention to the use of signal words or phrases in the lecture, especially ones that indicate the structure of the lecture or a change of topic. Common Signal Words 表示话题开始及转变; But …?
