Note Taking/Basic Formatting

Basic Formatting
While there are many ways to take notes, the best ways are the ones you feel most comfortable with. There are however a few formatting ideas that are used by all sort of notes.


 * Separate major ideas by a blank line, and more general ideas by a few more lines.
 * If you're almost done with a page, and are starting a new unit or section, start on a new page.
 * Writing on only one side of a page is a very good idea, but is not required.
 * Use abbreviations and symbols to avoid long sentences.
 * Write down information in your own words.
