Some Tips on Note-Taking and Flash Cards

 A method that I found effective was to fold each page of my notebook down the center vertically. In-class notes went on the left side of the fold; additional notes from readings went down the right side. By reading ahead, I could note any questions I had and ask them in class. If both the professor and the text highlighted certain aspects of the material, you could bet it would be on the next test.

 

 Flash cards are not just for kids--making flash cards is a great way to study, especially for classes full of terminology such as science classes. Write the term on one side of a note card, then the definition on the back. Carry these with you, and when you have a few spare moments, you can review them.
