Note-Taking — 1 Plus 3


TECH Entry 4
            This week, the strategy I used to help me out with my classes is the “1 Plus 3 Note-Taking Method,” and I used it for HST 231 in preparation for an upcoming exam and REL 205 in order to help me out with the readings and papers.  The reason I chose to use this strategy is because I learn very well visually and this method makes use of a great visual aid that could really help me.  The 1 Plus 3 Note-taking strategy is good for more than just predicting test questions in my opinion as I was able to successfully use it to help me with papers and readings in that I outlined what would work for an assignment and how to quickly scan the readings for specific information.

 My overall opinion of this strategy is that it works; and for multiple reasons: first, it is extremely flexible and can be adapted to any purpose; second, it can be used to quickly and efficiently summarize lengthy notes after class and called upon at later dates to serve studying needs; three, it can be done on any computer that has a word processing application.
