Habit 3: Make Your Notes Count!

• Learn and apply the Cornell Note-Taking strategy. Meet with a success coach to learn the strategy and undergo an extreme notes make over.
• Put notes in your own words by paraphrasing and summarizing; use colors and symbols (?, !, *) to help make connections and grab your attention.
• Review and enhance notes right away while the information is still fresh in your mind. Take notes to the next level by using the Fold-Out strategy, "mapping", creating concept cards, etc.
