This week’s lecture was about something that is extremely common and at the same time extremely underused, Note Making. The art of keeping notes is about writing down the things that we consider important during lectures, quotes from famous personas or even our own ideas. The main reason of keeping notes is the fact that we as human beings have a tendency to forget so that’s one way to avoid forgetfulness. Besides that, a reason for keeping notes is the fact that when it comes down to big amounts of information the most effective way of actually learning anything is to write down the important parts and focus on them.
One of the most important parts of the lecture was breaking down how the memory actually works. The memory process has two stages, the first one is called encoding and is used for saving the information, while the second one is the retrieval part which is about retrieving the stored information.
In general, what I learned during this class was already known to me and I always tend to keep notes in order to improve my studies, however I found the lecture quite interesting and I was introduced to some Note Making styles that I could adopt, like making a circle in the paper and entering the main theme of the lecture and from this circle to start drawing branches of the main themes and so on.
The conclusion that I reached after the end of the lecture was that no matter how basic one might think of Note Making it actually is not. Note making is an art that needs to be refined and perfectioned.
