Writer's Pantry Poem for Today
Take Note
Are you a note taker?
A note believer I am
First day lectures I say
To my class, "Take Good Notes
Your Tests will be over
the stuff you need to know
If it's in your text book
and what I say in class
but not my corny jokes
All I say you jot down
After class rearrange
Make a study outline
Fill in holes, stuff you missed
and things from your book that
were not covered in class
Now make a shortened one
Study what you don't know
Review in your spare time
Every student I've had
Who made an "A" took notes"

Very good advice! My daughter has always been a big note-taker, and she gets As! She still uses 3x5 cards to organize essay outlines and vocab. for French. Old School methods still work. (She tried majoring in business, found she was doing it because others told her it was wiser than English, but she was unhappy.)
I used to have a teacher--one who truly influenced my life--who used to say, "Good notes are the backbone of good grades." I think she would've agreed with your poem. :-)
Taking notes in math class? Must explain my abject failures.
Ah yes, as a student I took copious notes, and made good grades.
Great advice I was always good at note taking Picking up the important stuff Mostly because I had some processing problems so I always had to filter things
