| A Quick-and-Dirty Guide to Note Taking in this Course
It is challenging to participate in a discussion and take notes on it at the same time. But it is a skill that you must develop, if you are to get the most out of our class meetings. Here are some guidelines to help you. Of course, you will need to try a variety of methods in order to learn which ones work best for you… Even if the atmosphere seems causal, you should take notes on the discussion (including both the instructor’s comments and your peers’). Use headings and sub-headings to divide your note pages into clear, easy-to-follow sections – or use whatever other organizational principle will help you to organize and make sense of the points that come up. Don’t try to write down every sentence verbatim. Instead, use phrases, abbreviations, and illustrations to record ideas and information. After each class meeting, jot down your own questions about things that have come up in class. Reserve a section in each day’s notes to do this. If you miss a class, ask for that day’s notes from one of your reliable classmates. Write legibly! Doodling is fine in moderation, but avoid “tuning out” of the class discussion. Even as you’re taking notes, you should remain attentive to, and engaged in, the conversation. Guilford complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act by providing a process for disclosing disabilities and arranging for reasonable accommodations. The policy can be found online at http://www.guilford.edu/about_guilford/services_and_administration/lc/disability/ada.html Students who require accommodations must complete a disabilities disclosure form and submit it to the Dean for Campus life. The disability services committee will decide which accommodations are granted, and the student will then meet with the appropriate specialist. It is the student’s choice to disclose difference/disability information to individual instructors. However, only students who provide their instructors with an Accommodations Agreement can receive accommodations. Please see me if you have a disability that requires alternative testing or other accommodations. Further information is also available in the Student Handbook (pages 12-16) and through the Office for Campus Life and Disabled Student Resources (ext. 2186).
