studyblr (my studyblr account is @rosiesdesk but I follow back on main)

I need more studyblrs to follow as my feed is really dry!!

I study BSc psychology but will follow any blog study related (just is an added bonus if you do psychology!).

I have a decent following so any posts reblogged will go to 7000+ tumblrs :)

Here are some tips for taking lecture notes that have worked for me, so I thought I’d share them.

Preview the material beforehand. during lecture, my professors talk kind of fast, so I read the chapter summaries in the textbook or look at their review sheets before going to lecture so I can follow along better

Record the lecture if you have to (some teachers might not allow this so it’s best to ask first before recording lectures). sometimes if I’m not feeling well and can’t concentrate / my professor is talking too fast, I record the lecture so I can listen to it at home and take note of any important points I might have missed. don’t rely solely on recorded lectures though! you still need to pay attention in class. the recording is just for backup. 

Use the right tools. I use a spiral notebook, and a pencil / smooth pen. (pro tip: having a smooth pen helps because it writes faster than a pen that skips all the time lol) I also keep an eraser / correction tape in reach because my teachers only stop lecturing to take a breath hahaha (which is usually when I find the moment to correct things). 

Don’t overload. don’t bother bringing a lot of colored pens / highlighters you don’t need because you probably don’t have time to use all of that during lecture. I bring one colored pen if i need to make anything stand out / draw arrows or something like that, and then if I need to, I highlight important things after class when I have the time (but disclaimer: if you have a color-coding system and if you have enough time, go right ahead! you do you!)

Focus on what’s important. if the teacher repeats something multiple times during lecture or says something like ‘this is important’ or ‘this will be on the test’ then I’ll write it down and put an asterisk next to it, so that while I’m reviewing notes later, I can focus more on those concepts.

Don’t write down unnecessary things. this kind of builds on the last tip but if your teacher already provides you with the powerpoint or review sheet they are going over or referring to during lecture, you don’t need to copy it down. Instead of focusing on that, focus on writing down what the teacher is saying or what they are drawing / writing on the board. It’s also very helpful to go to the teacher during their office hours and just ask them what they think would be most important to study / focus on.
