If you've been watching studying videos for like 5 minutes, then you've already
-
heard of the Cornell Method, mindmaps or the famous outline technique.
-
These are all proven ways to take effective notes in class or during revision because
-
they provide a clear structure for ideas, facts and arguments and have been used by
-
top-scoring students all over the world.
-
But even if they are great, you're probably sick and tired of hearing about those three.
-
So today we're going to cover note taking methods that usually no one talks about and
-
are also incredible ways to organize information and ideas without resorting to the traditional
-
note-taking methods.
-
**Split page method**
-
The split page method is a great note-taking method for factually dense subjects and is
-
used as a more condensed version of flashcards, promoting active recall after your lectures
-
or in preparation for evaluation.
-
You can adapt it according to your class by using facts, topics or questions.
-
Dividing the page in half, you can insert the name of the topic or the question that
-
needs to be answered in the left side of the page and the corresponding answer or definition
-
on the right column.
-
You can either study these notes normally or by folding the page to create an added
-
challenge and quizzing yourself on these topics.
-
This type of note-taking method can be easily recreated in digital format and I will below
-
an awesome video that explains how you can do it in Google sheets.
-
**Q/E/C method**
-
The Q/E/C method is another study method that Cal Newport talks a lot about in his Straight-A
-
book.
-
Q/E/C stands for Question/Evidence/Conclusion, and the main purpose of this system is to
-
structure all of your lecture into question, evidence and conclusion formats that you can
-
then compile into one big study guide.
-
Besides reducing the amount of unnecessary information transcribed into your notes, the
-
Q/E/C system creates a clear and obvious interrelation between topic, conclusion and the stream of
-
facts and arguments that connect the two.
-
Furthermore, this note-taking system is two-in-one, since, besides helping you organize information
-
while you are reading or attending your lectures, you're also creating valuable study materials
-
to use during revision.
-
**Morse Code Method**
-
The Morse code method is a note-taking method envisioned by Cal Newport and focus mainly
-
on taking advantage of written materials.
-
Whenever you find a sentence that seems to be laying out a main idea, you should draw
-
a dot next to it in the margin; if you then come across an example or explanation that
-
supports that big idea you should draw a dash next to it on the margin.
-
This allows you to record information without breaking your reading momentum so you can
-
then take notes.
-
The act of taking the dots you've written and transforming them into notes is called
-
the processing stage and it basically requires you to paraphrase the main idea in your own
-
words in a bullet point.
-
The author then encourages you to take all of these sentences and review them in the
-
format of a major question: [em fundo branco:] “What is the main question being asked in
-
the article?
-
What is the conclusion the authors point towards?”
-
**Flow Notes**
-
Flow notes are very similar to mind maps but they have no rules in terms of structure.
-
Although difficult to review, they allow you to incorporate a large amount of information
-
during your class, because they are a free pass for you to simply throw facts, arguments,
-
topics and dates on the page with no specific order while connecting and linking these ideas
-
as you hear them.
-
Flow notes are great for those who hate transcribing information and prefer to process what they're
-
hearing into workable sentences or words; it's an holistic method that works wonders
-
for classes with no clear structure, or discussion with interrelated components that aren't
-
easily organized via outline or mind map format.
-
In case your class is highly dense on information, making it impossible to compress all of the
-
facts, you can still use flow notes as a hybrid system to comment and annotate original materials
-
and textbooks to create summaries or visual aids for complex chapters or topics.
-
**Sentence Method**
-
The sentence method is similar to the outline method as it relies on an expansive vision
-
of your notes, but instead of using indenting and topic formulation, it uses one-liners,
-
one per paragraph, to create a guide for each topic that is easily readable, workable and
-
memorable.
-
The other major difference is that while the outline technique uses indentation to hierarchize
-
the importance of different segments of the topic, by avoiding indenting the sentence
-
method considers every sentence of equal value, which means that topics with a high-level
-
of detail or information can benefit from this system as they force you to memorize
-
details as well as key ideas relating to the topic.
-
And if you want to reproduce these note taking systems in one place only and incorporate
-
your notes with all of the other information and materials related to your classes, you
-
should start using today's sponsor, Notion, as soon as possible.
-
Notion is an awesome tool and I've made three videos about how I use it to organize every
-
single thing in my life and the good thing is that Notion is sponsoring today's video
-
to let you know that it's finally free for students and teachers!
-
Notion is productivity software that combines all your essential work tools in one place.
-
It's flexible, allowing you to organize everything in workspaces and move things around seamlessly.
-
Two weeks ago I showed you how I created an academic planner in Notion, which includes
-
class notes, a calendar, syllabi pages, task lists, project planners and so on.
-
With this free personal plan for students, you can now have unlimited space to organize
-
everything.
-
All you have to do is sign up using your school email address or, if you already have Notion,
-
you can change your account e-mail to the e-mail of your school and that's it.
-
You can also access a bunch of templates designed specifically for students and educators, which
-
will be linked down below.
-
And if you aren't a student anymore, that's not a problem → you can enter the promo
-
code "mariana" to get your own free notion Personal plan by following the instructions
-
in the description box below.
-
Also, if you're curious about how I've been using Notion, I will link my past three videos
-
as well.
-
I will list in the description box below detailed articles about these note-taking methods.
-
I hope you enjoyed this video and I will see you next week.

Bye guys!
