The Art of Notes

In college, taking notes is a big part of your class time. I wanted to write a post on how important it is to take notes that you can understand. In the digital age, it can be easy to just mindlessly type what your professor is saying but there is nothing like making an entire masterpiece out of your notes. Everything from different colors to different shapes and word sizes can make the difference in what you get and don't get from your notes.

Here is an interesting article I found about note taking in the digital age:

Lastly, a reminder from 'Organization for College Students' on Twitter today:

These are all great resources to remind you to look at your notes as more than just a way to remember what your teacher was saying. Your notes can be a mental image of what was discussed in class and it may help you remember it better when you're finally at that test and you remember that a certain thing was highlighted in yellow or circled in blue.
