Note taking                                         

Today the lecturer discussed about the blooms taxonomy and the related keywords used. It was a boring day in class because too much of explaining to do. Mr. Rehan also mentioned the methods used for effective note taking which includes the psycho-motor skills, SQ4R, bloom taxonomy and retention.SQ4R Is a method for remembering  and helps to get key points and reading aloud and resurveying that will help to remember things and for studying later. Blooms taxonomy includes intellectual skills, psycho motor skills(ability to use hands) and Affective domain(attitudes).
There are several methods to remembering notes. It is called the SQ4R method. The S represents Survey(topics, summary, key points), Q for question(why, how, when, where), and the 3R's for read(selectively), recite(read aloud to yourself), w Rite and review(resurvey).

According to Article Alley (2012), "Bloom's taxonomy contains three overlapping domains: the cognitive, psycho motor, and Affective. Within the cognitive domain Benjamin Bloom identified six levels that have become commonly known as Blooms Taxonomy."


There are 5 methods of effective note taking and they are:
1. The Cornell method
2. The Outlining method
3. The Charting method
4. The Mapping method

5. The Sentence method

I think the easiest and more effective method to follow in a class, seminar or lecture is the Cornell note taking method. This is useful in writing down important key points  and topics said and writing down short summaries for future use.

This is an example of how to take down notes in the Cornell note taking method
