Detailed explanation-1: -1. When taking notes, do not copy words directly from a source unless you intend to quote that source. Instead, read carefully, think and then write the main ideas into your own words to paraphrase the source. Once you’ve rewritten the main ideas into your own words, be sure to note the source of the ideas.
Detailed explanation-2: -If you write notes in your own words then you’re engaging in active learning which allows you to gain solid understanding of the material and create strong neural connections so you can remember and recall the ideas – skills you need to achieve great grades.
Detailed explanation-3: -The best use of your notes is to read over them a short time after and perhaps re-write them again, more neatly or in a different order, depending on how or why you want to use them. This will help you to use the information actively and it will stay in your memory for longer.
