One Plus Three Note-Taking!!!

Hey everyone!
I hope everyone has been enjoying their weekend! Since it's been raining and gloomy, it was the perfect weekend to hang out in Schine and catch up on my homework and study!!  It was great timing, too, since we have been learning about note taking! There are two types of notes: comprehensive (notes for classes with lots of terms and details) and skeletal (major topics/terms without the detail). There are also multiple note-taking strategies. For difficult courses, 1 plus 3 notes and plug in notes are best. Jeopardy notes are great for essay tests and papers and To Do Notes are great for people in Studio courses. Fortunately, I only take comprehensive notes in one class: Psychology 205. The amount of information in that class is INSANE!! I was so excited to try 1 plus 3 notes for that course! I also tried it for Spanish, even though we don't take that many notes in that class; I used the textbook for inspiration!

You guys must be wondering what 1 Plus 3 Notes are, right?! I'll explain using: L.A.M.E.

Learner: 1 plus 3 notes are GREAT for visual learners because there is a space to have a graphic organizer

Action: Well, during class you write all your notes on one side of the paper. Then, after class on the other side of the paper, you create a chart with three sections. on the left side, you put key terms. On the right (main side) you put a visual organizer to make the information easy to absorb. Then, on the bottom, you create questions from the right and left side that you think will be on the test! By the end of the week, you should be able to answer all of those questions!

Materials: The 1 Plus 3 Chart is your material!

1 Plus 3 Notes!

Psych Notes

Evaluation: For classes with lots of information, this is a great tool to use! It organizes all of your notes, allowing you to focus on the key points and then create models to help you study. Creating the questions on the bottom also helps you to think about the information. However, I'm not sure if I would use this for my psych class again. My lecture notes, while important, are not as useful for tests as the textbook is. The textbook has way too many key terms for 1 Plus 3 Notes, so I've been outlining the textbook instead. I think I like this better for Spanish. While I don't take notes during class, I used the textbook to do the 1 Plus 3 Notes and it worked out really well. I have vocabulary on the left, verbs in a chart on the right and sentences as questions on the bottom.
