INTELLIGENT NOTE TAKING METHOD


Copying everything off the board, or power point slides laboriously in your register/notebook isn’t the smartest way to study, and learn new things. What is required is a smarter way of making notes and going over them. The below technique of note-taking capitalizes on the proven methods of memory retention.

This semester make your notes and study according to this method, view the attached template for visual understanding.

The Cornell Note taking Method

The Cornell method provides a systematic format for condensing and organizing notes without laborious recopying. After writing the notes in the main space, use the left-hand space to label each idea and detail with a keyword or “cue.”


Method


Rule your paper with a 2 ½ inch margin (see template) on the left leaving a six-inch area on the right in which to make notes. During class, take down information in the six-inch area. When the instructor moves to a new point, skip a few lines. After class, complete phrases and sentences as much as possible. For every significant bit of information, write a cue in the left margin. To review, cover your notes with a card, leaving the cues exposed. Say the cue out loud, then say as much as you can of the material underneath the card. When you have said as much as you can, move the card and see if what you said matches what is written. If you can say it, you know it.

Advantages

Organized and systematic for recording and reviewing notes. Easy format for pulling out major concept and ideas. Simple and efficient. Saves time and effort. “Do-it-right-in-the-first-place” system.

Disadvantages

None

When to Use

In any lecture situation.

Introductory....


Sharif Medical and Dental College Lahore provides the best and the latest Medical & Dental education by the most experienced Faculty. The SMDC is a model of excellence for the quality and innovation of its education programs and clinical services. The institution is continually striving to exceed the expectations of its Patients, Students, Residents and Local Community by constantly improving the services it provides with enthusiasm, teamwork and creativity. There are currently four batches studying here, both of MBBS and BDS. An unstoppable chain of events begins when one dreams of a particular goal, provided they work hard enough. And in the case of this medical institute, Mr. Mian Mohammad Sharif was the pioneer. Although it could not be created during his lifetime, its basis was laid down a few years ago. Currently, there are separate buildings for all the departments but a beautiful new campus is under construction and will hopefully be complete in the year 2012. New hostels are also under construction. The new batch will begin its classes in the newly built campus. Efforts are also being made to accomplish international affiliation. Simply said, the college is growing fast, with great opportunities for medical students and doctors. Competitive faculty members, an established hospital and a very impressive campus are just some of the few things the college has to offer - the rest is left for you to discover. So join SMDC !
