  · The nice aspect of this text is that they looked at studies done on various strategies and then discovered which strategies yielded the most results (meta-study) To take effective notes, a student must make a determination as to what is most important, and then state that information in a parsimonious form. 1. Verbatim note taking is, perhaps, the least effective way to take notes – when students are trying to record everything they hear or read, they are not engaged in the act of synthesizing information. 2. Notes should be considered a work in progress. 3. Notes should be used as study guides for tests – fewer students than might be expected take advantage of notes as a study guide. 4. The more notes taken the better – while many guides suggest keeping notes “brief,” this study showed that there was a strong relationship between the amount of information taken in notes and students’ achievement on examinations.
