Each skill is discussed , taught and implemented. Be prepared with the appropriate paper and pens or pencils at the beginning of each class. Always date each page and put on the subject and source. Keep your mind on what the teacher is saying. Try not to look at or think of anything else.
Louder words are often important to write down and remember .
Watch the speaker closely. Forms of gestures, facial expressions, items written on the board, certain types of pauses, the way the teacher emphasizes and illustrates a point or concept -vocally, dramatically, quietly or with some particular device like a picture, slide object, etc. Take notes in your own words. Write the important words and phrases to help you to remember. Quotes, rules, laws or formulas should, however, be written exactly.
