NOTE-TAKING AND NOTE-MAKINGWe distinguish between note-taking
and note-making. Note taking is a passive process which is done at
lectures whereas note-making is more active and focused activity
where you assimilate all information and make sense of it for
yourself.
NOTE-TAKING:Taking notes is an important process. It allows you
to have a written record of the lecture which may not be in your
textbook. It also ensures that you become an active and involved
listener and learner.
