Improve Your Note-taking
Effective note-taking is an important transferable skill, and one of the most important activities for students.
If you are new to note-taking, we would recommend starting with the first video on this resource. Thomas Frank from Crash Course Study Skills goes through the theory of effective note-taking, along with methods such as 'Outline', 'Cornell' and 'Mindmapping'.
There are also many note-taking applications that can make note-taking easier, and organise it efficiently for you; OneNote is included free for all students with Microsoft 365 and Notion has both free and premium features.
Help and Support
For more specific support, the University's Student Learning Service offer 1-2-1 online appointments to help improve your Reading and Note-taking. To arrange this please complete the study advice request form or email: sls@abdn.ac.uk.
