How to solve Note Making
Guidelines
for attempting note making: -
1)
Read
the article/extract very carefully.
2)
While
reading, underline words and phrases that seem to be important.
3)
After
you have finished reading twice, pick your pencil and scale to draw three
vertical lines 1 inch from the left margin.
4)
Divide
the whole text into two to three parts.
5)
If
you find a third aspect which is not as important as the others, Leave it.
6)
In
three to five words per line, prepare the notes.
7)
If
there are often-repeated terms or lengthy words, abbreviate them. An
abbreviation
should have maximum four letters in length.
8)
After
the abbreviations, write the summary in as less words as possible.

Note
making is an easy job if you start it by reading the passage twice. Be lost in
reading for a while and underline important words. After reading, you have
to plan. You can plan and organize your note by dividing the content by theme,
importance or by timeline. Now, start writing the notes by sub-levels and
sub-sub levels. Remember to restrict the number of words to five in the
most. Abbreviate long words but not too many.
