·         Get the speakers main points. Don’t write down every word you hear.

·         Leave blanks in your notes to add explanations later.

·         Organize as you write. Pay attention to cues suck as repetition and emphasis.

·         Indicate main and supporting points as you go.

·         Jot down key vocabulary, important facts and formulas.

·         Ask questions. If you are confused, it is better to ask while the material is fresh in your mind
