Before the Lecture Begins

1.   Prepare for the lecture so that you will be more likely to predict the organization of the lecture. 

Check the course outline to see if the lecturer has listed the topic or key ideas in the upcoming lecture. If so, convert this information into questions, or structure your notebook according to the headings provided in the outline. If no outline is given, try to structure the presentation yourself when you revisit the notes later.

2.   If an outline or handout is given out at the beginning of class, skim it quickly. 

Underline or highlight topics, new vocabulary, key questions and/or main ideas.

3.   Ideally, you will come to class having read the assigned material. 

Attending the lecture with the information fresh in your mind will undoubtedly help you follow the presentation with greater ease and less confusion.

4.   Sit as near to the front of the room as possible to eliminate distractions. 

You may even want to come five or ten minutes early to get a good seat and have time to set up your pen and notebook or laptop.

5.   Have a proper attitude. Listening well 

is a matter of paying close attention. 

Be prepared to be open-minded about what the lecturer may be saying, even though you may disagree with it.

6.   Have extra pencils sharpened and ready, or extra lead for mechanical pencils in case a pencil breaks during the lecture. 

Bring a pen as well, and a (big) eraser.

7.   Write down the title of the lecture, and the date. 

Keeping your notes organized will pay off when it comes time to study.

8.   If you miss a lecture, make sure to write it down in your notes as well, so that you will not forget. 

This way you ensure that you will get the notes from a friend or colleague instead of missing out on the material entirely.
