2. Mind-Maps
On each page of your notes, draw a vertical line, top to bottom, 5cm from
the left side of the paper. Write your notes on the right of this line and
leave the area to the left of the line for key word clues and sample
questions.
1. Try to be extra prepared for the lecture before class: Familiarity with
the subject makes it easier to pick out key points.
2. Exchange notes with classmates
3. Leave large empty spaces in your notes - for filling in information you
missed.
4. See the lecturer after the lecture and show the lecturer what you
missed.

6. Go to the lecture again - if it is offered at a different time.

Once you have taken down notes in lectures, the learning process is not
complete. The next step is the note-making process.
Your lecture notes form the basis of your final consolidated notes and your
entire examination preparation is based on these. The following should be

1. The main aim is to integrate your lecture notes with reading from
articles, prescribed and recommended books or tutorials.
2. It is best to use your lecture notes as the basis of your integration and
not rewrite these unless your handwriting is extremely poor.
3. Mind-map summaries can be made to give you an overall picture of
the topic.
