• 00:00 - 00:04

  Welcome to the note taking and planning asynchronous workshop.

• 00:04 - 00:07

  We're gonna go over some note taking techniques that will help you in your classes.

• 00:09 - 00:14

  So first of all, note taking this video from crash course study skills goes all over

• 00:15 - 00:16

  uh different note taking techniques.

• 00:17 - 00:20

  We can't watch it during this video because of copyright issues.

• 00:20 - 00:23

  But all the links to it are available

• 00:23 - 00:24

  on our

• 00:24 - 00:26

  on all of our details for the

• 00:26 - 00:26

  Eyre

• 00:26 - 00:29

  workshop. So go back and check that out.

• 00:29 - 00:30

  You can also

• 00:30 - 00:32

  go to the uh pre

• 00:32 - 00:35

  link that's on our website where you can

• 00:35 - 00:37

  click through and watch the videos during that.

• 00:37 - 00:40

  Essentially, it goes over things like taking general notes

• 00:40 - 00:42

  and then making them more concise

• 00:43 - 00:45

  uh doing things like making bullet points,

• 00:45 - 00:47

  annotating and color coding your notes as well.

• 00:48 - 00:52

  So watch that video to get an idea about different note taking strategies.

• 00:54 - 00:55

  Next,

• 00:55 - 00:58

  you're gonna practice some of those note taking strategies

• 00:58 - 01:01

  on this video about building a moon base.

• 01:01 - 01:02

  It's from

• 01:02 - 01:02

  Zagat

• 01:03 - 01:04

  which means in a nutshell.

• 01:05 - 01:10

  So it's gonna go over how we would go about building moon based, things like

• 01:11 - 01:15

  the cost, the steps involved in it. And

• 01:16 - 01:18

  here you can see are my notes

• 01:18 - 01:19

  based on reading

• 01:20 - 01:21

  or watching the video.

• 01:21 - 01:22

  So

• 01:23 - 01:27

  generally I start off by taking some notes in general,

• 01:27 - 01:30

  you can possibly do key points for your notes.

• 01:31 - 01:33

  You can do shorthand. If that works better for you,

• 01:34 - 01:38

  you can go through and revise your notes with annotations if that works better.

• 01:43 - 01:47

  Here is sample notes based on me watching the video.

• 01:47 - 01:51

  So how to build a moon base. I have general information about the costs,

• 01:52 - 01:53

  the payout,

• 01:53 - 01:54

  um

• 01:54 - 01:57

  how we would explore

• 01:57 - 01:58

  the

• 01:58 - 02:01

  things involved in building and planning

• 02:01 - 02:04

  trade work, all that, those sorts of things.

• 02:05 - 02:08

  So the left side, we have my general notes and the right side

• 02:08 - 02:13

  after which I put more details and all the yellow parts

• 02:13 - 02:17

  that I highlighted it are meant so that you can

• 02:18 - 02:20

  just focus on those and get a good sense of

• 02:21 - 02:22

  uh the work overall.

• 02:23 - 02:26

  And this is one way you might approach your note taking

• 02:26 - 02:27

  when you

• 02:28 - 02:33

  let's say read a chapter from a book or you watch a video or you

• 02:33 - 02:34

  go to a lecture.

• 02:34 - 02:39

  So you wanna get the most important things down and then even from that,

• 02:39 - 02:42

  you would try to be more concise, more detailed.

• 02:42 - 02:45

  Uh getting those little important details down

• 02:45 - 02:49

  that will give you the most benefit when it comes to

• 02:50 - 02:54

  doing your homework and doing all on your tests.

• 02:55 - 02:58

  So not only is it good to have good note taking skills,

• 02:58 - 03:02

  you also should have an idea of how to set up a schedule.

• 03:02 - 03:05

  So you can make a weekly schedule, you can do something, for example,

• 03:06 - 03:10

  uh with color coding, like you'd have green tasks that are your things,

• 03:10 - 03:13

  you must do like homework and tests and things like that.

• 03:13 - 03:16

  Yellow tasks are things that you could do but don't have to do.

• 03:17 - 03:17

  Um

• 03:18 - 03:20

  Like maybe that might be some of your more free time

• 03:20 - 03:23

  stuff or a little bit extra setting here and there.

• 03:24 - 03:24

  But

• 03:24 - 03:26

  um, it would just be beneficial

• 03:27 - 03:30

  for different reasons, but you don't necessarily need to do those things

• 03:30 - 03:31

  for your class.

• 03:32 - 03:33

  Um

• 03:34 - 03:38

  Here we have an example of what a weekly schedule might look like.

• 03:38 - 03:39

  We have it organized

• 03:40 - 03:42

  from Monday through Sunday.

• 03:42 - 03:44

  Uh You might not do it this

• 03:45 - 03:45

  detailed,

• 03:46 - 03:48

  but essentially you have your

• 03:48 - 03:53

  classes, you have your work here. It even mentions time to work on homework,

• 03:54 - 03:54

  uh,

• 03:54 - 03:57

  time to study time for volunteer work or

• 03:57 - 04:00

  playing video games or whatever your hobbies are.

• 04:00 - 04:03

  So, in this case, it's a very detailed schedule where someone can

• 04:03 - 04:04

  map out their whole week

• 04:04 - 04:06

  for you. It might just be

• 04:06 - 04:10

  when it, where your classes and when it should, you study and do homework,

• 04:10 - 04:13

  um, whatever works best for you and it's good to kind of

• 04:14 - 04:16

  plan it out and do your best to

• 04:16 - 04:19

  stick to the schedule as much as you can. Of course,

• 04:20 - 04:22

  it's gonna vary depending on

• 04:22 - 04:24

  your course load and your workload.

• 04:24 - 04:28

  But it's a good way to kind of gauge everything out and plan

• 04:28 - 04:29

  for things.

• 04:30 - 04:32

  Here is kind of a blank template here.

• 04:32 - 04:35

  If you want your own template,

• 04:35 - 04:36

  that print version of this prey

• 04:36 - 04:38

  is available, you can print out the prey

• 04:38 - 04:41

  and fill this out yourself. Otherwise you can make one

• 04:42 - 04:44

  with a simple Excel document.

• 04:47 - 04:49

  Here's our work cited for

• 04:49 - 04:50

  the presentation

• 04:50 - 04:55

  and the work site also includes the links to those videos that we referred to.

• 04:55 - 04:58

  So it makes it a little easier for you to find them on the

• 04:58 - 05:02

  youtube if you want to practice these notes stra taking strategies for yourself.

• 05:03 - 05:08

  So on all that is the note taking and planning asynchronous workshop,

• 05:08 - 05:11

  make sure you follow all the rest of the instructions

• 05:11 - 05:15

• 05:15 - 05:16

• 05:18 - 05:21

  and other than that, uh Thank you for your time.
