Guided Notes

These notes are designed to help you follow along with the material if you find that helpful. Use them as you listen to a class lecture or as you make your way through the Study Plan. You’re welcome to print these guided notes, modify them, or skim them while studying – it’s entirely up to you. They’re not about taking perfect notes or completing an assignment to turn in.  They will help you process and remember information so that you can later apply your knowledge and build on it.

Before Class: Use the 4R Method

1. Read: Select a manageable section of your assigned reading. Depending on your personal preference and time available, this could be one page, one set of Learn It pages, or one topic within the Study Plan.
2. Recall: Close the text and write key terms and concepts in your own words. This active process strengthens your understanding. It’s ok to leave blank spaces.
3. Review: Reopen the textbook and compare your notes, adding any missing information.
4. Repeat: Continue the process for each subsequent section until you have read, digested, and taken notes on all your assigned reading.

During Class: Bring your notes to every class session

• Add insights from lectures and discussions
• Note connections to examples
• Ask questions about concepts that need clarification

After Class: Revisit and Reflect

• Spend a few minutes reviewing your notes after class while it’s still fresh.
• Summarize main takeaways in your own words to strengthen your understanding.
