Effective Note-Taking: Strategies and Tools

Effective Note-Taking: Strategies and Tools

Workshop in partnership with Student Life Disability Services

If you have ever been in a lecture where the instructor was speaking too quickly or just very monotone, you may have wondered if there is a better way to take notes. You worry about keeping up or just not sure what to write down at all. You may have access to note-taking technology like Glean or Read&Write, but you may not be sure how to use the tools in the best way. Being an engaged listener and taking effective notes is not always easy. This workshop can help you build your speed and skill to have A+ lecture notes!
