Note-making Purposes 1: Summarising
Note-making Purposes 2: Synthesising
Another way ?
• Listening to your own voice summarising notes you have made in your own words is a powerful aid to memory and can be a particularly effective tool for revision (Cottrell 2003).
• The tapes can also be replayed in many situations away from the library or allocated reading areas, e.g. listen while you exercise, drive or travel on public transport.

Summary on Note-making
• Three main groups: linear; visual/pattern; and audio
• Use method(s) that … best encourage the process of review and recall
• … promote integration of your own perspectives and reflections
• Take into account personal preferences and individual learning styles - experiment
• Commentators agree, however, that reviewing and discussing your notes with at least one other person is particularly helpful for effective learning
