Notice the instructor's interest level. Use the Cornell format of note-taking. Write your notes to the right of the line. Use the area to the left for key word clues and samples. Create mind maps.
Mind mapping involves starting in the middle of the page.
Write the main subject on a line in the center of the page. Record points subordinate to the main topic on lines branching out from the central subject. In turn, each subordinate point can have its own branches. Mind maps can be used in conjunction with Comell format notes. Write notes in outline form.
