Editorial Review:Updated and revised edition
As every student quickly learns, merely sitting through a class and paying attention is usually not sufficient to ensure good grades. The proper taking of good notes is essential. Note-Taking Made Easy tells why the student should take his or her own notes (rather than buying them or taping lectures), and tells exactly how to determine what is worth noting, whether during a lecture, classroom discussion, even from a book or during a meeting.
The authors describe the two most successful methods of organizing notes—outlining and patterning—and provide shortcuts to really make note-taking easy, from shorthand devices to abbreviations.
Special sections are devoted to taking notes from texts, fiction as well as nonfiction, and handling charts, graphs, and photos. A final chapter shows how to tie together notes from various sources.This STUDY SMART reference guide series, designed for students from junior high school through lifelong learning programs, teaches skills for research and note-taking, presents strategies for test-taking and studying, provides exercises to improve spelling, grammar, and vocabulary, and reveals secrets for putting these skills together in great essays.

Rating:  - Note-Taking Made Easy (Study Smart Series)
Have had some experience on note taking. Then I was asked to be recording
secretary for an Army Association That I belong to. At 1st I was somewhat
slow But as time went on my Note taking got 2-B Better. Yes I still need
2-Improve But as they all say Practice Practice Practice. In fact I purchased 1 for ea. grandchild.Thinking abt purchasing more to give out.
book worth having & using.
Rating:  - Only for school kids
This book only has the basics of the basics, you may retain about 5 ideas after reading it. There is nothing about filing notes, nothing about notes in the IT era, there is no "philosophy" (ie: nothing about the role notes play as a specific form of text). In the information era you expect something better on notes!
Rating: - Tells how to organize notes and decide what to write down
Excellent advice on how to read a nonfiction book and what notes to make about it, how to take them down fast and why not to use a tape recorder. Written in chatty style, it's not much of a chore to read. I recommend it enthusiastically since it's jam-packed with helpful ideas.
