Lesson 2

 Week 3
Lesson 3
What to Note and Shorthand
Two different topics will be discussed this week. We will discuss what to focus on when taking notes so as to understand how to weed out unnecessary information. Then we will cover the art of shorthand. Shorthand is helpful for obtaining maximum information with minimal writing. This can be helpful for learners who generally require more time to write, or for situations where an instructor moves through material faster than is easy to keep up with. There is a practice activity for students.
 Week 4
Lesson 4
Highlights and Rewrites
This lesson is all about how to use your notes after you've taken them. How do we use our notes to study in the best way possible? Why is a word-for-word rewrite not actually the best way to study in that format? How can highlighting be used constructively? These questions, along with many others, will be answered in this lesson. There will be a practice activity for students to complete with this lesson.
