How to get Your Class Notes into Shape

Getting the most out of high school and college means studying hard and using your time in class wisely. An effective note-taking strategy  help you do both. Here are the basics.

Stay Organized It may seem obvious, but your class notes can only help you if you can find them. When you’re taking notes be sure to:

·       

    Keep all your notes in one place

·        Date and number pages; keeping them in order makes it easier to understand them later.

Before Class

Review the materials assigned for that class period thoroughly. Bring a list of any questions you may have.

Voicing goals to someone else can help you make decisions and figure out your priorities. It can also help you judge whether you can do both—work together and study—successfully. To help answer this question, ask yourself:

·       Am I an organized person?

·       What kind of study habits do I have?

·       Do I make god use of my available time?

·       Will I be able to manage my schedule effectively if I take on a part-time job?

Think about the pros and cons of working. On the plus side, a job can teach you about commitment, time management and responsibility—and, of course, handling money. On the minus side, a job can cut into the time you have for sleeping, studying and socializing.
