Study These Flashcards
A

Observing, Recording, Reviewing

24
Q

Step 1 of note taking

Study These Flashcards
A

Observing
1. Being in the moment in class, watching for clues to see what’s important
2. Read pre-class readings, review notes, prepare your attitude, and be awake
3. Active listening

25
Step 2 of note taking
Recording 1. Cornell, mind map, key words. Repeated phrases, introduction & conclusion & transition words/phrases a. In conclusion b. What’s important here c. On the other hand d. Bringing this back to e. In addition to f. If you get nothing else out of this lecture 2. Things on the board, examples, hand gestures 3. Use visuals: arrows, lines, colors 4. Use abbreviations, symbols
26
Step 3 of note taking
Reviewing 1. Review within 24 hours, use key words as cues to recite concepts, short weekly reviews 2. Best if reviewed within 2 hours after class (sucker punch method)
27
Parts + purpose of Cornell note taking
Main part: Body of notes; Record, Recite/Review Side column: Study guide (cues); Reduce Bottom: Summary; Reflect/Recapitulate
28
purpose of recording in Cornell notes
During lecture- Write facts/ideas After lecture- Recite information based on questions/ keywords main part
29
purpose of reduce in Cornell notes
(pulling out key info) writing possible test questions, key words/ phrases side column
30
purpose of Reflect/Recapitulate in Cornell notes
Summarize main ideas Apply to current knowledge Bottom part
31
purpose of Recite/Review in Cornell notes
i. Review periodically ii. Cover this section iii. Recite information iv. based on key words main part
32
characteristics of a student who is actively listening
1. Show up on time, physically and mentally 2. materials ready before class 3. Avoid external distractions 4. Decide to listen 5. Sit up, lean forward 6. Sit in most effective zone: first 2-3 rows
33
how to actively listen
1. Tune into conversation 2. Ask questions (mentally or verbally) 3. Making connections to other materials 4. Anticipate the next point 5. Review what you’re learning
34
how does mind mapping work
takes advantage of how our minds actually store information (in pictures not in words)
35
definition of encoding
i. process to change information before it is stored… 1. …because information is not stored exactly as it’s presented. 2. EX: Text is stored by meaning – the image of an event not the words.
36
definition of retrieval
process of recalling previously stored information
37
why is rehearsal important
we rehearse info in STM and put it in LTM it pushes out older content (displacement) which is forgotten unless revisited or rehearsed again
38
what things make up focus/familiarity
Rehearsal, Practice, and Recitation
39
what is Interleaved practice
EX: including flashcards from different units in the same deck
40
Rote vs Meaningful Learning
repetition without trying to make any sense of the material (EX: studying for foundations vs. psych)
41
What is recency effect
remember most recent things
42
what is primacy effect
remember things at beginning (AKA: serial effect)
43
what is the system of Loci
Associate things with places in a familiar location
44
what is chunking
Organizing info into small meaningful groups EX: phone numbers
45
What are peg words
When need to remember a list… Peg words connected to a number, somehow connect the peg word to what you need to remember EX: 1. 0. Hero 1. Bun 2. Shoe 3. Tree
46
SQ4R steps + purposes
Survey- the chapter, how’s the info organized; Be a prepared reader Question- write questions for each subsection about who, when, where, what, why, how; Be a prepared reader Read- for major ideas + answers to the questions you already wrote; Be a demanding reader Record- write brief notes, explanations, examples; Recite- say it out loud, comprehension check Review- what you learned and what you forgot
47
The Three of Reading + each purpose
Before; Be a prepared reader (Skeleton + 3. THEIEVES with snatches) During; Be a demanding reader (downloading, telegramming (translating info into own words?) launch; having a purpose for each small section you read) After; Be a changed/ transformed reader (did you meet the launch goals)
48
what is (Skeleton + THEIEVES with snatches)
Skeleton-preview textbook organization THEIEVES with snatches a. Title b. Headings c. Introduction d. Every first sentence e. Visuals f. Vocabulary g. End questions h. Summary i. Snatches (during preview if anything snatches your attention read about it so that you at least have something interesting to read)
49
what is coding the text
read section then underline or highlight less than 10%
50
difference between downloads and telegrams
downloads- translating info into your own words telegrams- Synthesize what you read into the shortest, most important information
