Clever Are Your Notes?

University student life, especially for
freshers, can be like a rollercoaster ride for the first few months.
Suddenly you are in a new place, with new friends, enjoying a new sense
of freedom. It can be difficult to stay on top of things.
In particular, taking quality notes at lectures and understanding how to
get the most from them.
At University, reading books and remembering facts is not enough. To
succeed, a student needs to take note (literally!) of how the lecturer
interprets those facts, theories or ideas and what conclusions or
debates can arise from them. Later you can then dissect this knowledge
and draw your own conclusions.
Passing exams is not merely about knowing the relevant facts or
techniques, it is about showing the academic staff that you can put your
own individual stamp on things.
To create your own argument, theory or artistic expression, you're going
to need some help. That's where OneNote 2007 software comes in.

Develop Your Own Ideas
During your course you can write and photocopy
all the notes in the world but ultimately, most courses involve sitting
an exam and being faced with blank sheets of paper on which you have to
write.
So where are your own ideas, backed up with the official facts and
theories, going to come from?
It's at that precise moment when a successful student will recall all
the work they did using OneNote.
Software which allowed them to combine handwritten notes, webpages,
graphics and more so that they created their own knowledge base - in
effect, creating an unique digital handbook in their own words tailored
to their subject.
The sum of all that information and that gestation of ideas can now be
put forward via the exam paper.

What The Argument Has Changed
Throughout your study you should constantly ask
yourself, "why are these ideas accepted?" If there's a better way of
doing something or you have a new vision or theory you believe in, then
you can use OneNote to build up the facts and alongside it, build up
your own argument for change.
Being organised will not only greatly assist your studies for that
eventual exam day, it will also help free up more of your time so you
can enjoy all the activities on offer - as well as eliminating the
stress of realising that your notes aren't up to scratch!
3 Key Points To Remember
- take quality notes
- formulate your own ideas with origins from current theories and
practises because that's what your examiners want to see
- be organised so you have more time to Party!
