Student Note-Taking and Reading Practices

TAACCCT Study Skills Workshop # 2:
Listening for Information and Note-Taking

Too many students arrive in college with poor note-taking skills. While digital technology provides an easy means of looking up and verifying factual information, note-taking is still a valuable skill in dynamic environments where relationships between facts must be captured--such as in a classroom discussion or business meeting.

In response to a request by Great Basin College Career and Technical Education (CTE) faculty, the TAACCCT Team put together a series of workshops in Fall 2016 to discuss the importance of note-taking. This ten-minute video by Season Riley and Annie Hicks covers the importance of listening closely for information, identifying key information, and placing that information in notes.
