Good class notes are essential to good study skills. If you study bad notes, it's pretty clear that you won't perform very well on tests. But what are good notes?

好的課堂筆記對形成好的學(xué)習(xí)技巧是至關(guān)重要的，如果課堂筆記質(zhì)量不高，那在測試中取得好的成績便很難。但好的筆記是什么樣的呢？

Many students fall into the trap of attempting to write down every word the teacher speaks. This is unnecessary, but even worse, it's confusing. The key to good notes is identifying the most important things to write down.

許多學(xué)生試圖將老師上課說的每個(gè)詞都記錄下來，但這樣是沒有必要的甚至更糟糕的情況會使人困惑。好筆記的關(guān)鍵就是將最重要的信息記錄下來。

1.Develop a Frame or Theme for Your Class Notes? 形成筆記的框架或主題

You will usually find that each lecture has an overall theme or common thread. If you read back over previous class notes, you will see that each day's lecture will usually address a specific chapter or topic.

你會經(jīng)常發(fā)現(xiàn)每堂課都有一個(gè)整體的主題或一條共同的主線。如果你閱讀之前的課堂筆記，你會發(fā)現(xiàn)每堂課都解決了一個(gè)具體的問題。

2.Why is this important? 為什么筆記如此重要？

Your notes will make more sense to you if you identify a common thread and create a frame of reference in your head before the lecture begins.

當(dāng)你在課程前確定講課的主線或構(gòu)造參考資料的框架時(shí)，筆記對你會非常有意義。

When you understand the overall theme or message for the day, you will be able to identify important facts and understand why they matter. When you start with a frame in your head, you can see where each fact, or piece of a puzzle, fits within the frame.

當(dāng)你理解了當(dāng)天課程的主題或內(nèi)容，你將能夠篩選出一些重要的信息并且理解他們?yōu)槭裁粗匾?。?dāng)你在腦海中構(gòu)建了知識框架，你也會明白每個(gè)事實(shí)例證或難題在框架中適用的原因。

3.Finding the Theme for Class Notes 找到課堂筆記的主題

There are a few ways to identify a theme for a framework.

這里有幾種方法可以確定框架的主體。

First of all, if the teacher has assigned a specific chapter or passage for the next class, you can be pretty certain that the next lecture will focus on that reading. Even if the information is different from the chapter you read (and teachers often add important facts to the reading) the theme or topic will often be the same.

首先，如果老師為下一節(jié)課指定了一個(gè)特定的章節(jié)或文章，那么你可以肯定下一堂課將圍繞這個(gè)主題。即使講課的內(nèi)容與你閱讀的章節(jié)內(nèi)容有所不同(老師經(jīng)常會添加一些重要的閱讀材料)，主題往往是相同的。

Teachers are different, however. Some teachers will assign readings on one topic and lecture on something completely different. When this happens, you must find the relationship between the reading and the lecture. Chances are, that relationship will represent a theme.

然而，教師的習(xí)慣是不同的。一些老師會指定某些主題的閱讀材料但講課時(shí)的內(nèi)容卻完全不同。當(dāng)這種情況發(fā)生的時(shí)候，你必須找到閱讀和講課之間的聯(lián)系。很有可能這兩者之間的關(guān)系將表明了主題。

Another good way to identify a theme for the day is to ask the teacher. Before each lecture begins, simply ask if the teacher can provide a theme, title, or framework for the day's class.

另外一種確定每日課程的主題就是詢問老師。在課程時(shí)間開始之前，直接向老師詢問當(dāng)天課程的主題或框架。

Your teacher will probably be very glad you asked and may even start providing a theme or framework for each day before the lecture begins.

老師可能會對你的詢問感到很高興，甚至可能開始在正式講課前先講述當(dāng)天課程的主題和框架。

4.Class Notes With Pictures ?為課堂筆記添加圖表

You may find that it helps to draw pictures while you take notes.

你可能發(fā)現(xiàn)當(dāng)你做筆記時(shí)畫出圖表會有助于學(xué)習(xí)。

No, this doesn't mean you should doodle while the teacher is talking! Instead, you may find that you can understand a theme or overall picture of a class lecture when you turn words into diagrams or charts.

這不意味著你應(yīng)該在老師說話的時(shí)候涂鴉!相反,你可能會發(fā)現(xiàn)，如果將文字形式轉(zhuǎn)換為圖表形式，你更能理解整堂課的一個(gè)主題或整體的概貌。

For example, if your biology teacher talks about osmosis, be sure to draw a quick and simple picture of the process. You can even ask the teacher to draw an example on the board and then copy the illustration.

例如，如果您的生物教師談到滲透作用,一定要快速地畫一個(gè)簡單的流程圖。你甚至可以建議老師在黑板上畫一個(gè)圖，然后將圖畫到你的筆記中。
