How to Take Lecture Notes

Complete the assigned reading for that day. Your professor's lecture will most likely expand off of the material assigned in the reading. If you don't do the reading, you lack the necessary background information to fully grasp the lecture and to meaningfully contribute during class. Check online for course materials and lecture outlines offered by your professor. Your professor may have announced the topic or key ideas in the upcoming lecture, and it's important that you are aware of this structure going into the lecture. Doing so will ensure that you will be more likely to predict its organization and understand the material well. Sit as close to the front of the room as possible to eliminate distractions. You may even want to come five or ten minutes early to get a good seat and have time to set up your pen and notebook or laptop. You want to make sure you can hear the professor clearly, see everything written on the board, and feel comfortable asking questions or making comments when appropriate.

For me, I will write down only the important information.
For good memorizing is use the pens which are colorful.
I will write it in the paper which has no line.
I think it makes me feel free to write.
