plug-in notes

This week I used plug-in notes in my study, it is a strategy for us to review the class more thorough. Because after the mid term I realized  the problem I have now is I can not use the note more effectively. This week I choose IST195 and HOM165 to use this stragety.

On the class of  Ist195 this week,  I wrote my note as usual but the difference is I skip 5 to 6 lines under each major topic so after class I can have space to organize my notes. Because I am a visial learner so after class I just used the different color and graphic to illustrate the knowledge I have learned. If I want to I want to test me whether I have remebered the knowledge in my mind is use questions to examine. So after I organized all the knowlege I made a several the professor might asked on the next exam  and I also give my answer to check the percentage of coorect. Besides, this time i I found colorful note is a good thing foe me to keep focus on the content I have wrote on the class.
Next class I used this stragety was understanding of music even though I just finished th exam I have to keep going to learn the new knowledge . In the class the teacher just give us a brief introdce to each point so we have to look up the materials have more details. From my perspective, making a chart is a very effective ay to memory the knowledge better. After the class firstly I looped up all the point  she mentioned and find the important point then I made a chart of the important point. Then after the class I made a chart of the questions and answer based on the suggeste text assignment and lecture.

From the practical use of the strategy  this week I found plug in notes is a very good way for us to review the lesson and in this way we can save a lot of time when we face a big exam.
