At this point we have reviewed a few academic skills with a focus on note taking and getting organized. It is time to put some of these strategies into action.

Part 1: How are good note taking skills connected to a student’s success?  How were you able to demonstrate active listening in a class in which you took notes?  What strategies/techniques about note-taking discussed in this class, the video and the Lumen text were you able to apply to note-taking in class?  What are some you would like to try?

Part 2:  What organizational strategies have you committed to doing? How can being organized benefit your success?

Responses can be typed in Microsoft Word and then pasted into the IvyLearn discussion board, or simply type it in the Discussion Board.   Click “reply” to start your own entry/post in the discussion board, then click “post” to submit the response.  This is due by Wednesday at midnight. Make sure you reply to at least two other class members posts by Sunday at midnight. Your replies need to be at least 3-4 sentences in length. For example, indicate whether you agree or disagree with their opinion, have something in common or made a connection to their posting. Replies must be respectful and well thought out.  Be sure your peer responses further the discussion in some way and do not just simply state whether you agree or disagree.
