Ms. Ridgell shares with her fellow students the importance of taking good notes; notes that assist in providing clarity, easy access to specific topics, and productive study methods. She discusses and shows examples of different note-taking methods, including outline, Venn diagram, and the Cornell method. She also shares examples of note-taking software. Ms. Ridgell recommends that students choose the note-taking style that fits their learning style.
