Notes de l'éditeur

  1. Commit to class: the work, being there, and being psychologically ready. Concentrate and listen. Capture key ideas by identifying key words and themes, relating details to the main point, working on your sixth sense, saving your energy by not writing down what you already know, and listening for clues that signal the significance of a certain topic. Connect ideas by paraphrasing what you hear, relating key ideas to what you already know, looking up unknown words, and anticipating what direction the class will take.
  2. Figure 5.4. The Cornell method separates your records of the class from you impressions about the records.
  3. A concept map provides visual cues about how ideas are related.
