Note-Taking
Taking good notes in class is important because it helps you to stay engaged, organize information, and retain what you learn. Writing key ideas in your own words strengthens understanding and makes it easier to review later. Good notes also serve as a study tool for tests and assignments, helping you identify what’s most important and fill in gaps. Overall, effective note-taking improves focus, comprehension, and long-term academic success.
