I'm fairly happy with how I take notes. It isn't real structured, but I feel like I capture the most important points.
In Reforming a nation of bad note-takers Jay Matthews writes about a technique for taking notes. He explains the basic approach as:
----------
The note-taking system taught by AVID was developed by Cornell University education professor Walter Pauk in 1949. The student divides a sheet of note paper into two columns, the one on the right twice as wide as the one on the left. The student adds a horizontal line about two inches from the bottom of the page.
The student take notes in the right column, using a number of symbols and abbreviations. Questions and key words go in the left column. Afterward, the student reviews the notes, revises and adds questions and a brief summary at the bottom of the page.
----------
If you are using AVID, or some other systematic approach to note taking, I would appreciate your thoughts and insights.
