    Now comes the showtime.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Concentrate on the critical topics and keywords the teacher says, rather than copying down the entire presentation sentence by sentence or every word the professor says.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
    2. Add in more detail or describe terms and definitions if missed in class, putting their idea and analysis.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
    3. Try jotting down the question as well, which comes to the mind while making the notes to get it clarified later.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
    4. Mark the topics which might seem confusing and need to be referred for additional clarity. Make sure the writing is legible for it to make sense later.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
    5. Use abbreviations and bullet, with symbols and flowcharts instead of writing complete sentences. This actually speeds up the entire process of note-making and it also becomes easy to grasp the topic.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      After the class<\/h3>\n

      Time to wrap up.<\/span><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Once the class is over, read the notes.<\/span><\/li>\n
      2. Arrange them in order, fill in the missing details.<\/span><\/li>\n
      3. Get some more details from the internet or textbooks to understand the topic in depth.<\/span><\/li>\n
      4. In case of ambiguity or doubts, jot it down to get it clarified in the next class.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
