notemaking–2nd blog

I am doing an essay these days. One crucial step is reading and note making. I made notes about key points in every material. When I started to write the essay, I found the notes are not strong enough to support writing. one problem is that I did not organise the notes. I find that it would be more convenient if I organise notes according to contents rather than to sources. For instance, I should have put contents about the features of bureaucracy together. I will take notes in this way next time.

A1–1st blog

During the Reading and Note-Making session, I  have learnt several ways of note-making. I get used to use bullet ponits to take notes, and /i find it is suitable for me. Now I think I can combine mind mapping into my notes so that I can structure all the contents in a more clear way.

One more thing that I should pay attention is "think before you write". I think it is a pretty good way to help understand the contents and memorize them. I will practice in this way.

As for reading, I think I should learn to select. I used to read everything in a book. Now I realise it is really difficult to know everything given the limited time. It is important for me to range reading especially when I have so many papers on hand.

To summarise, I am learning to use map to structure my notes, to think before making notes, and  to range reading.
