Identify How Information Is Organized ( 技巧 3)  Organizing principles tend to sequence information into a logical hierarchy  Past ideas to present ideas  The steps or stages of a process or event  Most important point to least important point  Well known ideas to least known ideas  Simple ideas to complex ideas  General ideas to specific ideas  The largest parts to the smallest parts of something  Problems and solutions  Causes and results 8

Listening Note-taking Strategies ( 聽課的筆記技巧 )  Strategies for reading note taking apply to listening note taking  However, unlike reading, you can't stop a lecture and review as you listen (unless listening to a taped lecture) 10

聽課前的筆記技巧  Tips to save time before the lecture: 1.Revise the previous lecture/tutorial 2.Pre-read about the topic 3.Check the pronunciation of any new words or discipline- specific language in the pre-readings 4.Rule up pages according to your note-taking system 11

聽課後的筆記技巧 1.Revise lecture notes within 24 hours 2.Tidy up your handwriting and fill in any missing bits 3.Write a short summary of the lecture (1 paragraph) in your own words 4.Attach any handouts to your lecture notes 13
