Tips for Taking Notes in Class

Success in college and graduate school is not a matter of luck nor innate intellectual ability - it is a matter of skill. It is not simply the smartest who excel in grad school (many smart folks don't!). Instead it is the most prepared and competent students who succeed. One way to increase your odds of making it as a grad student is to learn important study skills, such as how to take notes in class.
1. Read.

This isn't a tip for during class, but for before class. Do the assigned reading before class so that you have a general grasp of the material and can determine if you have questions about major points. Reading before class helps you to anticipate the main points and the organization of the lecture. Familiarity with the material allows you to focus on your own questions and makes it easier for you to take notes on important points rather than capture the instructor's every word.

2. Use visuals, outlines, and handouts

Instructors often provide outlines, on overheads, black boards, handouts, etc. Use these as a guide to what's important to learn. However, realize that there is more to know than what appears on the visuals. Sometimes a professor will write a single word on the board and students will write that word in their notes. Guess what? The word alone will not help you; provide context. What does the word mean? What does it relate to? Why did the professor draw your attention to it? Remember that there is more to know than simply the visuals. Professors often (not always) draw students' attention to the most important information. But don't rely on them. Instead actively process the material and determine whether it belongs in your notes, regardless of whether it appears in a handout or overhead.

3.Pay attention to signal words and phrases.

Professors often give clues to what material is important by using signal words and phrases, such as: this is on the test (obvious!), important , remember, to summarize, to repeat, to conclude, and for example. Professors provide subtle and not-so-subtle clues to what's important. Pay attention.

4. Don't record every word.

Process the material. Some students write down every word the professor says. That won't help you when it comes time to study. Don't write it all without thinking or processing it. Try to determine the important concepts. For everything you write, note the details, why it is important, how it relates to other materials, and include an example. You may not have enough time to include all of this information during class, but immediately after class spend 10 minutes reviewing your notes to add details and link ideas to other information. You'll be glad that you did so - especially when it comes time to study for an exam.

How to Approach your Teachers for Help

What are common reasons why you might seek out professors for assistance?

Few students make it through college or graduate school without seeking assistance from a professor for help at one time or another. In fact, it's important to seek help rather than let problems fester and intensify. So, how do you approach a professor for one-on-one time?
Why Seek Help?
What are common reasons why you might seek out professors for assistance?

You've fallen behind in class because of illness
You've failed a test or assignment and do not understand the course material
You have questions about the requirements of a given assignment
You need advice on the subject of your major
You cannot reach the class teaching assistant during his or her posted hours
You need clarification on policies and/or schedules
OK, so there are lots of reasons to seek assistance from professors.
Why Do Students Avoid Seeking Professors' Help?
Sometimes students avoid asking for assistance or meeting with their professors because they're embarrassed or intimidated. What are common anxieties experienced by students?

Feeling "out of the loop" after missing several classes
Fear of asking a "dumb question"
Fear of confrontation
Shyness
Discomfort over approaching a professor of a different age, gender, race, or culture
Tendency to avoid interactions with those in authority
If you're going to progress as a student -- and especially if you wish to attend graduate school, you must set your intimidation aside and ask for the help that you need.
Approach Your Professor (Politely and Respectfully)

Contact. Determine the preferred mode of contact; check the course syllabus as professors indicate their preferred methods of contact and related information. Ask yourself: Is this urgent? If so, then contact by phone or stopping by his or her office during office hours is probably the most logical step. Otherwise, you can try e-mail. Wait a few days for a response (remember that teaching is a professor's job, so don't expect replies over evenings, weekends, or holidays).
Plan. Check the syllabus for the professor's office hours and policies before you make your request so that you are already familiar with their schedule. If the professor requests that you return at another time, do your best to meet at a time which is convenient for him or her (e.g., during office hours). Don't ask a professor to go out of his or her way to meet you at a time that is inconvenient because professors have many more responsibilities than teaching (e.g., lots of meetings within the department, university, and community).
Ask. Asking is the only way to learn your professor's preferences. Say something like, "Professor Smith, I need a few minutes of your time so that you can help me with a question/problem I'm having with ___. Is this a good time, or can we set up something that is more convenient for you?" Keep it short and to the point.
Prepare for Your Meeting
Pull your thoughts together beforehand (as well as all of your course materials). Preparation will permit you to remember to ask all of the questions that you need answered and arrive with confidence to your meeting.

Questions. If you are anxious at all about talking with your professor, prepare a list of your questions beforehand. Be efficient and try to accomplish everything in one meeting, rather than coming back time and time again with further questions.
Materials. Bring your class notes and syllabus with you to refer to, if you have questions specifically related to course materials, so that you have all the details you need. If you need to refer to a text book, bookmark the pages that you will need to refer to so you can get to them quickly.
Notes. Come prepared to take notes (i.e., bring a pen and paper to your meeting). Notes will help you record and remember the responses to your questions and prevent you from asking the same questions later in the course.
At the Meeting


Be punctual. Punctuality signifies respect for your professor's time. Do not arrive early or late. Most professors are pressed for time. If you need to meet with your professor again, ask him or her if you can set up another appointment, following the suggestions above.
Address. Unless your professor has indicated otherwise, address him or her by last name and with the appropriate title (e.g., Professor, Doctor).
Gratitude. Always thank the professor for his or her time and express any gratitude that you feel is appropriate for the specific help that he or she has provided. This rapport will leave the door open for future appointments.
