El arte de tomar notas: Tu guía basada en la investigación para tomar notas que se te quedarán grabadas en la memoria
Otros libros te dicen cómo tomar notas. Este libro te muestra la forma correcta de hacerlo.Lo has hecho todo bien este semestre. Asististe a todas tus clases y tomaste copiosos apuntes en cada conferencia. Por lo que a ti respecta, estás preparado para los finales.
Lo único es que, esos apuntes que te parecían tan geniales... ¡Ya no tienen ningún sentido!
Imagínate otra situación en la que estás en una reunión de trabajo importante. Estás garabateando furiosamente, temiendo perderte algo de lo que se dice sobre el gran proyecto. Después, tu jefe se te acerca para pedirte una copia.
Miras el puñado desordenado de garabatos que tienes en la mano. ¿Te atreves a entregárselo?
Si eres alguna de estas personas, no estás solo. Aunque lo hubieras hecho todos los días en la escuela, a la mayoría de la gente no se le da bien tomar notas.
Es una pena, porque tomar notas tiene muchos beneficios potenciales.
Según un estudio de 2014 publicado por la Asociación de Ciencias Psicológicas, tomar notas ayuda a los alumnos a establecer conexiones que les ayudan a retener mejor el material.
En este estudio, Pam Mueller y David Oppenheimer atribuyen a la toma de apuntes el mérito de dar a los alumnos tiempo para procesar las ideas que se les explican.
Por tanto, los conceptos no se recitan, sino que se comprenden. La investigación psicológica concluye que tomar notas conduce a un mejor rendimiento.
Los líderes empresariales también confían en los beneficios de tomar notas. Thomas Edison, Richard Branson y Bill Gates son prodigiosos tomadores de notas, y nadie puede negar su éxito profesional en sus respectivos campos.
Pero si tomar notas es una habilidad tan importante, ¿por qué no la aprende más gente?
Para empezar, en la era de la abrumadora información, la mayoría de la gente cree que tomar notas es difícil. En segundo lugar, requiere práctica.
Incluso si empiezan, la mayoría de la gente se siente perdida y abandona antes de hacer ningún progreso real.
Este libro te ayuda a superar esos retos.
He aquí un pequeño vistazo a lo que aprenderá
Tu estilo básico de aprendizaje y cómo elegir la técnica para tomar notas más adecuada para tiLas cinco estrategias para tomar apuntes que nunca te enseñaron en la escuelaPor qué a la mayoría de la gente no se le da bien tomar notas y qué puedes hacer para solucionarloLas cuatro ventajas de tomar notas... incluida una en la que nunca habrías pensadoCómo ejercitarse tomando notas para desarrollar el músculo de la memoriaLa cualidad crítica que separa a los mejores tomadores de notas del resto de nosotrosCuando tomar notas es un deporte en ¿Cómo pueden los profesores ayudar a los alumnos a tomar mejores apuntes?La sorprendente respuesta a "¿Es mejor tomar notas con el portátil o a mano?"...¡y mucho, mucho más!
Lo más importante de este libro es que no se limita a volcarte información. Hay ejercicios para mejorar tus nuevas habilidades y consejos para practicar y mejorar lo que has aprendido.

The short:
Better off saving your money and just googling note-taking methods. That's essentially what the author has done and called it "research-based".
The good:
If you'd rather have a cheap, physical reference book of something you probably already know and/or could just get from google, as a nice remember and/or for annotating, this is it. Also, it's a quick read and the chapters on each method is fairly succinct.
The bad:
1) Poorly written
The first issue is that this book is poorly written, the first two chapters -- 1. why take notes and 2. Learning styles and note taking -- are useless. If someone is reading a book about note-taking, it's fair to say they've already come to understand it's benefits; and the reason's given by the author are just as obvious. As for the learning style and note-taking, on it's face is an interesting concept with potential; unfortunately, the author spends a whole chapter mentioning difference learning styles and never tying them back to particular note-taking methods best suited for each (i.e. an incomplete claim). There's also some a few blatant typos (p.129 number 4 is formatted incorrect and repeated twice). And there's also contradictions which aren't clarified (i.e. using the cue section of the notes the author says, don't use the section until you've completed note taking then, later says the opposite, without explanation.
2) Nothing new
There is nothing new, which isn't a problem in and of itself, it's just a waste when again one could google common note taking methods. (Outline, Cornell, Mind-map, Sentences, Charts).
3) Misleading
The title claims to be "Researched-Based", which is mostly untrue. There is only one chapter which is researched based in the technical sense, the rest of the "research" are citation of where the author took information (mostly images) from the internet and compiled them into this conglomeration of a book for you to buy.
Epilogue:
The entire time I read this I thought about returning it, but I've started annotating books as I've read them. So, I'll keep this one and use it as a reference. I personally find it's easier to locate and utilize information and knowledge from a book then online, and stated before, there's nothing wrong with the methods themselves and the chapters around them are fairly succinct. It's more of a question of value, which in the end, is a personal determination.

Informational
I'm grateful for this book and it will help with 📚 and studying. I am so glad that this helps me with my certifications and college.

Picked this one up at random. Found some new ideas and great reinforcement for my own personal note-taking habits.

Good Place to Start; Nothing New for Older Students
Brief read at 147 pages.
Covers the most popular systems for taking notes from Cornell to basic Sentence style. Goes too much in depth regarding how people learn separating between visual, auditory, kinesthetic further down to VARK system. And other learning groups like social and introverts.
Unless I’m going to be a teacher, it doesn’t trivia since all I’m after is taking better notes. Much of the information relates to Psychology and NLP as presented in the body Unlimited Power by Tony Robbins that I read back in the 1990s.
Then came the technique every book on learning and education falls back on - lThe Feynman Technique.” Breaking complex parts down to it’s most basic form until it can’t be simplified any more. What remains is the essence of the part being learned. Explaining in your own words to a 5 yr old is the other part of the technique. I believe combining Feynman Technique and Cornell Method of note taking in a Bullet Journal with an index would be a great way to keep notes.
What should have been covered is taking notes rapidly in lectures.
It was mentioned but only related to Sentence note taking method.
Telegraph method should have been covered to break sentence down to noun verbs objects removing nonessential words like a telegraph.
Later on filling in and cleaning up the sentences. Also short hand should have been covered as an alternative to typical g on a laptop in class.
Good book for beginners if not perfect.

Super short and generic read about the importance of note taking to not only have a record but to also aid in comprehension and retention of the material. Numerous methods are introduced (e.g., mind-mapping which has been in vogue with memory experts), but my favorite was the Cornell Method of note taking - divide the paper into a large right column (transcribing the material in shorthand), a small left column (record thoughts, reactions, questions), and a bottom section (summation of the main ideas).

Think ethic is Excellent
I am a Retired Knowledge Manager for Oracle hospitality, I really could've used a book like this!!!! The way the author summerized the topics and presented them made this a great tool. I'm recomending this whole series of books one the strength of this one book.

Basic: probably great for high school students
Skip the first several pages if you want to get to note-taking structures.
This instruction is mostly for high school students, maybe some first-year advanced-degree humans.
Geared toward taking and reviewing lecture notes for learning as you write -- and studying.

for students
The writer focused on ideas and practices for students. If you are a student, this may be very helpful. There is no mention of similar practices as they apply to professional settings.

Shows good examples on different styles of note-taking. But to be honest you can find better information online. This book does a great way of condensing key points, but if you want to take your note-taking game to a whole new level, I highly encourage you to at least do the exercises in the book.

Some useful nuggets- but not really what I expected.

Needed more details of the effective note taking
I read through this book with expectations to see more exemplars of different note taking techniques. Not on this book.
