NOTE-TAKING
Actively listen to your professor’s lecture and jot down the main ideas in an orderly, easy-to-read outline.
Draw diagrams of ideas as a way to visualize them. Some helpful ideas to diagramming include:
Venn Diagrams: Draw two overlapping circles. Use the overlapping portion to write down the similarities between two ideas and use the peripheral areas to show the contrasting points.
Similarities
Clustering: Write a term or idea in a circle and draw a line from that circle to a different circle that houses a related idea. Repeat this process in as many directions as you like. This is another great way to visualize the relationships between abstract ideas and concepts.
