Do you want to take more effective notes during your lecture? 

If so, use the Outline note-taking system to quickly organize key points as your professor talks.

 The Outline system 

  • Easy to use during lecture.
  • Great for structured classes and material. 
  • Do your readings beforehand so you’ll know how to organize the information. 
  • Can be hard to show comparisons and connections. 

How it works 

Organize the key ideas with headings. 

This will differentiate the importance. 

Try using different: 

  • Font sizes 
  • Colours 
  • Formatting 

Capture the key ideas using bullet points.
