Having an organizational standard you are comfortable with is a must going in.

Be it pen or computer, the best method of note taking is the one you will use consistently.

You may need to include different strategies based upon the course you are taking. Note taking strategies in college are not always one size fits all.

Be aware of different strategies such as: Cornell method, outlining, charts and tables, concept mapping and visual note taking, and shorthand. Each strategy has its own unique benefits, as well as shortcomings.

Annotate your notes to clarify important sections or topics for further review. To much highlighting or markings may be just as bad as none at all, remember to only mark the important things.
