The Cornell Method - This is the most common note-taking method around. In this method, you are still using key points, but this method goes deeper into the organizing method.
Mind Mapping Method - Mind mapping is a method that works for subjects that have interlocking topics or complex and abstract ideas. Chemistry, history, and philosophy are examples of where this method shines.
Flow Notes Method - In this method, you’ll jot down topics, then start drawing arrows, and make doodles, diagrams and graphs to get a general idea out there.
The Sentence Method - Another simple method and is a lesser version of flow notes. The idea with this is simple note-taking. You’re jotting down everything that’s being said to the best of your ability.
Charting Method - Charting notes take the Cornell method and divide a sheet into three columns. Similar to the mind mapping method, this helps you in connecting relationships and facts together between topics.
Writing on Slides - The final method is another strategy for people who can’t be bothered to take extensive notes. This method works well, particularly in classes where the instructor provides slides that they’re using for their lectures.
