Understand the chapter deeply - Before start writing notes about any chapter or topic, first, understand the chapter or topic deeply.
Chapter name and its overview - While making notes, every student wrote the chapter name or heading at the top of the notebook page, but few of them write also what this chapter is all about.
Don’t copy all content from books - Don’t take notes from many books for one chapter. Your class notes (lectures) and one most preferred book would be enough for your learning.
Good writing in short paragraphs - Instead of writing in long paragraphs, use short paragraphs to improve the readability of your notes, it will also look more effective.
Use different colors - Using different colors in your notes not only makes your notes good and pretty, but it will also improve your learning and memory.
Use headings, sub-headings, and bullet points - As you write the chapter name at the top of the notes, similarly using heading and sub-heading are very effective to start any new topic and bullet points to collect important points or describe something.
Add Images, Visuals, and Graphics - Images, visuals (like infographics), and graphs are very important and you should not miss adding to your notes.
Use mind mapping systems - Mind mapping is one of the best note-taking systems that helps to learn and relate things. They are particularly useful for brainstorming and note-taking.
Make a summary - Making a summary is very important (equal to the second time), where you explain what you learn in this chapter and how this chapter is useful in daily life.
