Description: An introduction to the Matrix method of note-taking.
Matrix
Another note-taking method is the matrix method. A matrix is a visual tool that can help you to organize lecture information.
You can create tables with different headings and subheadings to show connections and comparisons. In this example, a table has been made to show the different ways to make a behaviour happen more often and how to make a behaviour occur less often.
This is the handwritten version of the same matrix.
Advantages
The Matrix method is really useful because it organizes the ideas in the lecture in a way that is easy to read.
By using tables, it makes it easier to see the connections and comparisons between different concepts
Disadvantages
However, it can be difficult to use this method during lecture. You will need at least some prior knowledge of the lecture material to be able to create the structure of the table.
It is recommended that the Matrix method is used after the lecture to reorganize your notes.
