ONE PLUS THREE NOTES

I decided I needed a new way to take notes. I was taking notes in class and continuously throwing them out! My notes weren't helping me at all. The notes I actually had, I would try to review them before a test and had absolutely no idea what I had written down!

In class, Dr. Blumin introduced us to a new note taking strategy- ONE PLUS THREE NOTES. This strategy looked like a good one for me to try. This is because I am a visual learner and if I have everything laid out in front of me, I will be able to study more efficiently. I was going to be able to take the same kind of notes as I did before hand and then add to them!

On one piece of paper, I took notes. I took them neatly with bullet points and titles, this way I would understand what I was reading when I went to study them. I then right after class, reviewed my notes and on the sheet of paper next to it, made a review sheet. I split up the review sheet into three sections: key terms/concepts, graphic organizer, and test questions.

When I went to study for my human sexuality final, these notes really helped me. I knew exactly what key terms and concepts to study and then looked at my notes on the page next to it for the information. I was then able to test myself with the test questions I wrote down. This strategy helped a lot and I will definitely use it again!
