The Notebook

As a teaching professor, I tell college students all the time: Write, Don’t Tap™.

Research shows writing by hand is how you retain information better from all of those textbook readings and lectures.  As you move away from tapping, you might need a roadmap on how to pick up that pen with confidence.

Meet your beautiful notetaking companion which actually teaches you how to take better notes…by hand, of course.

After a few decades of teaching, I’ve seen how technology has convinced students they’ll work better if they can work faster…all while their grades suffer.  The solution? Pick up your pen and use the research-proven methods. And no, a notebook is not a cure-all–if you don’t attend class and miss assignments, your grades will take a hit. BUT, taking good notes is a crucial step toward improving your study tools and memory retention. 

Get hands-on coaching with a step-by-step breakdown of three notetaking methods you can use for any textbook, lecture, or assignment.

Because I’m a firm believer in style and substance, in the opening of your notebook I walk you through three approaches to effective notetaking: The Cornell Method, The Graphic Organization Method, and The Centered Student Combo Method.
