Sixty Seventh Post: Back to School #5

Tip 5 has to do with the work the student does in class. During lecture or recitation the student should be keeping a notebook of all the material covered and the material they are assigned to do. Obviously the student is going to be collecting notes in a notebook, but the tip is to keep that notebook for years after the class is over.

The student is going to forget some of the content covered. A notebook is the student’s own personal course outline. What better format for the student to understand than their own work. When it is time to get a job or apply the knowledge learning in school, the student will need reference. A reference that would be difficult to find from just one source other than the collection of notes. It is a simple tip, but the first time the student uses the notebook for reference in the future, it will be worth all the hard work.
