I& #39;m not the type to write notes without a pen and paper, so I would always try to bring at least a pen wherever I go just for any information. In this thread, I& #39;m going to talk about the methods I used for my note-taking and why I use it.

I sometimes change my methods on a daily basis. I use the informal outline method and also the mapping method. Sometimes I combine them both.
The informal outline method is used whenever I want to make quick notes or when the lecturer is giving out the info at a really fast pace. My previous school encourages the students to bring a pen and notebook every time during our assembly, and I& #39;m sure the habit stuck with me.
The informal outline is when you list out points or details like a list. A topic for that list, and the supporting details for it. It& #39;s one of the easiest methods and the most common as well.
The mapping method is used when I want to understand the lectures or what I& #39;ve learnt. The arrows symbolise connection, and for me, if I want to understand something, certain topics must be related to one another so I can synthesise it properly.
