Write about the most challenging course you are taking this semester. Explain why the course may be difficult for you: consider the subject matter, the teaching methods of the instructor, the textbook, your study skills and any other factors that may contribute to making this course difficult for someone. (If you are not taking a challenging course this semester, write about the most challenging course you took any time in your education.)
Practice the new note-taking strategies for improvement you identified previously. You may practice these in this class, another class, or while taking text-book notes. After practicing these new strategies, answer the following questions in the discussion board.
- How were you able to demonstrate active listening in the class in which you took notes?
- What strategies/techniques about note-taking discussed in class, the video and the book were you able to apply to note-taking in class?
- What areas do you want to continue to improve in the area of listening and note-taking?
