Notetaking strategies.

• Summarizing is processing information as you break it down.

• Instead of jotting down everything, write down the most important ideas and takaways.

• Refer to the meeting agenda or class outline to write down a logical list of key ideas.

• Expand on key ideas by using bulleted and numbered lists.

• Instead of full sentences, write down keywords and phrases.
