Q: You should only have one window openthe one you are taking notes in. Close all other windows and programs. Consider turning WiFi off. Put your phone away. Pick a note-taking or word-processing program that works best for your needs. For example, you may want to pick a program you know well, like Microsoft Word. On the other hand, you may want something simple and basic, like Text Edit. Consider using a note-taking program like Evernote or One Note. There are a variety of keyboard shortcuts that can help you take notes more quickly. Keyboard shortcuts can vary depending on the kind of computer you use (Mac or Windows) and what kind of word-processing program you are using. That being said, you will find keyboard shortcuts useful for the following note-taking issues: Formatting. Keyboard shortcuts can allow you to emphasize key concepts through shortcuts that help you highlight, bold, or underline words or phrases. For example, command + B will make a word bold. Navigation. Certain keystrokes can help you move to the beginning or the end of a line. Other keystrokes allow you to move seamlessly between programs or windows. In the Windows program OneNote, using the "End" or "Home" key will allow you to move your cursor to the end or beginning of the line you are on. Organization. Keyboard shortcuts can allow you to automatically make ordered, hierarchical lists like outlines or numbered lists. Type expanding. You can program your word processor to recognize phrases as you type them. Instead of typing out "interdisciplinary coordinated calculus" you can type "icc" and your computer will know what you mean. Writing down everything the teacher says will waste time. Instead, pick up on larger, overarching issues. You should be writing out short sentences, no more than five words. You can always come back to a concept or ask a question. But don't spend time finishing up a section to your satisfaction while your professor moves on. Instead, switch concepts when they do. After the lecture or class is over, go over your quickly written notes and fill in any gaps. Take this time to Add any information you were not able to type quickly enough. Fix any typos or misspelled words. Pick up on larger overarching concepts and add them while they are still fresh in your mind.
A: Limit distractions. Use an appropriate program. Learn keyboard shortcuts. Listen for key concepts, don't transcribe. Move on when the professor moves on. Revisit your notes.

Q: Depending on what kind of paper bag you want to make, you want to keep in mind what you want it to look like, how sturdy it is, and whether or not you'd like it to have a handle. You'll need scissors, glue, a ruler, and a pencil to help you assemble the bag Coloured or patterned craft paper is ideal for this project. It's thicker material helps to keep the bag sturdy and allow it to bear more weight inside. Craft paper comes in all designs and colours. Wrapping paper or newspaper is good material to use if you have something more delicate in mind. A thin piece of rope or ribbon works to create a handle. Gather materials like stencils, feathers, glitter, paint, and colouring pens and crayons to decorate your bag.
A: Choose and gather your materials.

Q: If you and your dog have already established a trusting relationship, then you are well on your way to rubbing your dog's tummy with ease. However, if your dog doesn't fully trust you yet, there are a few things that you can do to gain his trust. Be calm when you approach him. If your dog hasn't quite warmed up to you, staying calm as you approach him will help him see that you are not threatening and that he can trust you. Approach him from the side, rather walking towards him from the front; approaching him from the front could be intimidating for him. When you reach his side, kneel down or sit in the same direction that he is facing. Do not make eye contact, since direct eye contact can be perceived as a threat. When he is more comfortable with you being close to him, you can sit by his side and gently pet him. Talking to him in quiet and soothing tones will reduce anxiety that he may have with you touching him. If your dog does not roll over on his own, he probably does not want to have his tummy rubbed. It is very important that you never force your dog to lie on his side; this can make him anxious and upset with you. Be respectful of his wish not to have his tummy rubbed. Before rubbing your dog's his tummy, start by petting his chest. If he growls or snarls when you start petting him, stop petting him right away. He's giving you a very strong indication that he does not want to be petted. The growls and snarls can also be signs of aggression. A number of things, such as pain or behavioral disorders, could cause the aggression. Your veterinarian can conduct various medical and behavior tests to determine the cause of the aggression. If your dog is not showing signs of displeasure when you start petting him, continue to pet his chest. You can even weave your fingers through his fur to get him to be more comfortable. When your dog has become comfortable with you petting his chest, move your hand down his body to start rubbing his tummy. By now, he should be very relaxed. Use slow and sweeping movements. Talking to him in quiet and soothing tones will help to keep him relaxed. Your dog may start kicking his back leg when you rub his tummy. Contrary to what many people think, this is not a sign that you hit your dog's ticklish spot. His leg-kicking is actually an involuntary response called the scratch reflex. The scratch reflex occurs when nerves that are connected to your dog's spinal cord are activated under the skin. Your dog will kick his leg automatically because his body perceives the nerve activation as an irritant on the skin. If you see your dog's leg start to kick automatically, stop rubbing him in that area of his tummy and move to another area. If your dog seems to be enjoying the tummy rub, but then gets up and walks away, he is letting you know that he no longer wants his tummy to be rubbed. This is completely normal behavior, so there is no need to be concerned. If you feel his body tensing up when you rub his tummy, but then relaxes after you stop, he is giving you another indication that now is not the right time for a tummy rub.
A:
Gain your dog's trust. Observe if your dog rolls over. Pet your dog's chest. Rub your dog's tummy.
