TAKING NOTES IN LECTURES

Activity 1.

1. Before reading the passage, tell the group how important to make notes for your studies, why it is/isn’t important, and what the main strategies you use for note making process.

2. Read the passage about taking notes and say if you agree or disagree with the statements about effective notes.

TAKING NOTES IN LECTURES

Making notes is an important aspect of studying at university. Effective notes will:

• help you to recall key points and relevant details about what you have heard in lectures or read

• highlight key ideas of a text and compare these to others

• identify relevant supporting details such as examples, explanations, diagrams and other material

• summarise lengthier texts.

3. Read the passage from the scientific article (здесь ты даешь ссылку на статью и конкретизируешь отрывок из статьи объемом 2000\ 25000 зныаков), write down key ideas of the passage and compare them with your groupmates. (потом на занятии или если это была домашка , пусть они сравнят то что выписали друг с другом). Work out the group key idea\ideas and write it\them down.

4. From the same passage, find supporting details for the key idea\ideas. Underline them in the text.

Activity 2

1. Read the passage and tell the group about lectures you listen to during the study ….. ( здесь я застряла я формулировкой установки: надо сравнить с лекцией, выбранной студентами, которую им читают в этом году или читали в прошлом году)

What you decide to note, and in how much detail, will depend to some extent, on your subject and what you need the notes for. If the information in the lecture is not available anywhere else, or very difficult to obtain from other sources, then your notes will need to be as detailed as possible. However if the information is readily available in books or journals (especially a set textbook for the subject), then you should focus on the points or issues that are highlighted by the lecturer.

There are some common features that you might need to note down:

• main points as emphasised by the lecturer

• topic specific terms, phrases and key words

• definitions

• examples

• diagrams

• formulae (and their derivations if appropriate)

• calculations

• relevant questions and answers.

2. Listen to the extract from the lecture (название лекции по теме раздела) and note down the common features listed in the reading passage

3. Listen to the same extract and write down or draw the complete version of the listed features. If you don’t understand something, don’t worry, just leave the space in your sheet of paper

Activity 3

AFTER THE LECTURE

1. Read the passage and following the given advice , complete the space left during listening in activity 1.3.

Immediately after the lecture (or as soon as possible and certainly within twenty-four hours) review your notes. This will enable you to:

• identify any gaps in the information and add in any new information that you might have thought of since the lecture

• formulate questions that need further research

• highlight key points

• add relevant references and link them to the main points of the lecture.
