collegerefs: Hey guys, this is how I format my notes when I have to read a short story, article, or other kind of text for a class. I don’t typically type these kinds of notes out, but it looks cleaner like this for the sake of the post. Date and week number : This is important for referencing back to your notes in the future. It also allows you to easily organize your notes chronologically. Title of the text and author : Make this big and bold so that you know exactly what the notes are for. Boxed summary : I like to leave a box at the top of my paper that will fit a few sentences so that I can summarize the work when I’m done reading. This is super effective because you can just read the summary to quickly remember what the text was about, which is very helpful if you have a lot of reading to do for your classes. Bullet points for important points made : Self explanatory. Bold important quotes : Quotes are very important for in class discussions, so it’s good to pull out a few from every reading. -- source link
