  Guidelines for Note-Taking
  1. Concentrate on the lecture or on the reading material. 
  2. Take notes consistently. 
  3. Take notes selectively. Do NOT try to write down every word. Remember that the average 
  lecturer speaks approximately 125-140 words per minute, and the average note-taker 
  writes at a rate of about 25 words per minute. 
  4. Translate ideas into your own words. 
  5. Organize notes into some sort of logical form. 
  6. Be brief. Write down only the major points and important information. 
  7. Write legibly. Notes are useless if you cannot read them later! 
  8. Don't be concerned with spelling and grammar.
