MODULE 6:TAKING LECTURE NOTES

Is it really important to take notes from the lecture? The answer is yes. We need to rewind the learning for examination. Taking lecture notes also important for your future, because you will use it when you already work but this only valid when you work in the same course with what are you study for in university. But you didn’t know the future. So please be alert with the points so that you can write it on your paper. For me, if you just copy the points and paste it on your paper only it doesn’t work, you need to read it back and try to understand what you learn before this. Why? Because human always forget.
