 Since my parents are on holiday, I can study in peace at home! Set up my study space on the coffee table on this Monday morning; just a quick revision on Organisational sociology before I go to work.

[The Michel Foucault book is not part of the exam, but since he is cited so many times in my Hatch textbook I got curious and wanted to read it again!]

{how to maintain good notes}

1. Come to class with a legal pad, a pencil or pen, and a highlighter.

use only these materials to jot down lecture notes

don’t worry about formatting or how neat it looks

your notes only need to be legible and somewhat organized

you can mess up on graphs/charts/diagrams

Why? The legal pad is as simple as notebooks get. You can rip out pages, you can write upside down. One pencil and one highlighter means you won’t spend any time trying to make your notes look pretty. That doesn’t matter now. The only thing you need to focus on during a lecture is writing down the important information.

2. After class, revisit your notes and copy it into your notebook.

you have as much time as you need to format your notes exactly how you want

writing something down twice helps you remember it later

seeing the same thing a second time makes you ask questions about the material

helps you study now so that you have less review to do at exams

Why? I know many of you are perfectionists, so when you make a mistake on a diagram, you feel compelled to rip out the page or quit all together. Copying it into a nice notebook forces you to find the best way to format your notes and digest the lecture materials. You will have an organized notebook to refer back to when studying for exams and finals.

3. Create a table of contents and number the pages.

4. Print charts/graphs/diagrams and paste them into your notes.

excellent precision and accuracy

on scratch paper (or your legal pad!) try to recreate the diagrams as best as possible – use this to study
