NOTE MAKING
Importance
of Note Making:
The process
of grasping knowledge is vast and unlimited. Our memory is not able to store so
many information altogether, hence notes making is quite handy and helpful.
With assistance of note making, we may recall the entire information of past
events. For the students, it makes their preparation less strenuous.
Thus, note
making helps in:
Ø Keeping information handy whenever
required.
Ø Recollecting and recalling past
events said or heard.
Ø Delivery of speeches for
debates/discussion, writing an essay and revising lessons before examinations.
Points
to remember while making notes:
Ø They should be precise and to the point.
Ø They should have all the relevant and
important information of the extract.
Ø All information should be
systematically divided and subdivided.
Ø Use universally relevant symbols and
abbreviations necessary and provide key to the abbreviations.
Ø The main title should be short and
apt to the extract.
Ø Try to avoid any long sentence as a
title unless it is a common proverb. It must reflect the essence of the
extract.
Notes must
be written in points and must be listed one after another and must be numbered
properly.
Points
to be avoided while making notes:
Ø
Avoid
the usage of full sentences
Ø
Do
not lift portions of the extract/paragraph to form the notes.
Ø
Do
not include irrelevant parts of the extract while taking down notes.
Ways of Note Making:
There are various ways of making notes. Each format has its
own advantages and limitations.
1. Linear notes
2. Keyword notes
3. Time lines
4. Flowchart
5. Matrix format
6. Mind maps
