Note-taking techniques are methods used to capture and organize information effectively. Common techniques include the Cornell Method, which divides the page into sections for notes, cues, and summaries, and the Mapping Method, which visually connects ideas through diagrams. These techniques help improve comprehension and retention of material. Another popular technique is the Outline Method, where information is structured hierarchically with main topics and subtopics. The Charting Method organizes data into tables for easy comparison. Each technique can be adapted to suit individual learning styles, making note-taking a valuable skill for students and professionals alike.
