Different ways of note taking affects the way you learn

Because you
are writing everything
down word for word

Better for when you want to go back on the lesson later on

Decent typing speeds

Faster to write then
word for word, but
lacks analysis

Quick review of
what you learned
from the material

Better for when you need a brief
overview of what the lesson was about

Easier to write down
information fast enough

Can create confusion
when looking back

Better for a fast paced lesson

Because you have
to change the information
in your own words

Review of more specific
aspects of the material

Better for a quick assessment
of what you understood

Quicker writing

Faster writing, but
you might not always
understand what is
being said as you write
the quote down

Establish credibility on
what you are learning

Better for research
papers or assignments
