ReplyDelete1.Which method of note taking do you currently use? Compare your current method of note taking to those in the reading, which strategies can add to your note taking.
When I’m taking notes I don’t have a particular note taking strategy. I just write what is being said. When it’s time for a test I just study everything that I’ve been writing down for that class. I do shorthand a lot of words so that I can write the notes down quicker, and effectively. The mapping system would be more convenient for me because I can just write my notes down as they come to me, and they don’t have to be in complete sentences. How I take notes is useful to me but I may not be as effective as the DU book says.
2. What are some of your barriers to active listening? What ideas from the reading can you incorporate into your active listening?
My barriers to active listening are
• Retaining certain information
• Prejudging
• Listening constructively
The ideas from the reading that I can incorporate into my active listening are
• Listen objectively
• Take good notes with I of the 3 strategy’s
• Not prejudge
• Ask questions
1. I dont have a particular method of taking notes. I write down what the teacher says and i look at the slides to make sure im writing down relevant information. While listening to the teacher, I flip through the book and write down boldface or italicized words for review. I can add the Cornell frame outline to my note taking system. Writing the questions down next to the answer help me remember it better. I have also found that mnemonic devices are also very helpful. Therefore, the Cornell frame would be beneficial.
ReplyDelete2. Foe me, a major barrier to active listening, is bringing my emotions to the table. I tend to bring my social problems in the classroom, and I reflect on them while the teacher is talking; often missing important information. I can incorporate creating a positive image about the lecture and focus on the message to succeed in active listening.
1. i really dont have a specific method of taking notes i usually copy what the teacher write down...
ReplyDelete2.i am not really a audio person i like hands on work...so ill try to incorporate what i like to do with what the teacher have taught...
1. my current note taking system is doing outlines.writing down all the pertinent information, things i think would be on the test.
ReplyDelete2.my barriers to active listening are asking questions,paying attention and knowing relevant from irrelevant.

ReplyDelete1. My current note taking system involves the outline technique. I write down all the important topics and subdivided information that coincide with that main topic. Maybe I could add the modified cornell system to my note taking system.
2. My current barriers to active listening are prejudging and bringing my emotions to the table. I need to listen to the message not the messager. Also, I need focus on the message.

ReplyDelete1) My current note taking technique is just to simply write short hand. I usually write what the professor is saying repeatedly are the mainpoints of the lecture. Another strategy that I can add to my note taking is to outline my notes. Basically to break my notes down into topics and subtopics.
2) Some barriers to active listening can be if you disagree with what someone has to say. Another barrier is if you dislike the person that is trying to deliver the message. Some ideas from reading that can be incorporated in my listening is to be open minded to what anyone has to say.You never know what you can learn from others, even if you dislike them.
1. When I take notes I use the summary and outline note taking. First, I write a quick summary of what the professor is saying, put it into my own words, and then provide a good written outline. If I had to add another strategy into my note taking ways it would probaly be more of a topic sorting way. I would want to generate more topics of each note that I take. It would make my notes more organized and well kept.
ReplyDelete2. My barriers of a active listener is disagreements and wrong doings. Getting things wrong and disagreements would bring down my scores and attiude. But, I need to listen better in order to get things right in order to pass.
1. I currently take notes by using the entire piece of paper that Im using. I make circles and shapes because I am a visual learner and it helps tremendously. I put CAPS on things that are very important to me and when I study my notes i use a highlighter throughout.
ReplyDelete2. The barriers I have with active lsitening are stereotyping and thinking I know everything. I can be helped from the reading by becoming more open minded.
1. If my teacher teaches straight from the book I would just highlight what is needed in my book. I would also write down some side notes to make sure that I do not miss any important information. Other courses I would write down everything that is being said shorthand. Writing shorthand would speed up the process of taking notes. I think this and reading your chapters would really help when it comes time for testing, just study everything you have written down.

-asking questions
-listening well
-agreements & disagreements
The ideas from the reading that I can incorporate into my active listening
-Good note taking
-focus on the message
1.) Currently i don't have a note taking strategy. In class as the professor speaks and writes things on the board I just write it down. After class I read over the notes along with the chapter.The mapping system is somewhat similar to the way I go about taking my notes, so the mapping system will be much more helpful for me.
ReplyDelete2.) I couldn't agree with Alexandria Moore more, my personal life is the major barrier to active listening. I tend to drift off and daydream or think about my problems, basically tuning the professor out.I think like the book says I should keep my emotions in check while listening or create something positive with the lecture that will gain my interest and attention.
1)My way of note taking is taking what I've read and putting it in my own words so that I can understand.From the book I learned highlighting important information is good to do too.
ReplyDelete2)My barriers of active reading is the agreements I might have or the ways where I might differ.

ReplyDelete1. My way of note taking is to read whatever needs to be read and then interpreting it int my own sensible words, and breaking down the more complex words to where I can understand them.
2. My barriers of active reading are really caring about the topic and thinking about other things that I could be doing with my time.
1. My current note taking method is writing everything the teacher say or what I think is important. Compared to the the methods in the book I am more of an outline note taker. My notes are not as organized but similar.
ReplyDelete2. I am not a very good active listener but from reading to become a better listerner I can try to listen harder and ask more quesions.
1. When I'm taking notes I use more than one method. I use bubble maps, so I can visually see the connection of different things. I also use the outline, because it helps to keep organized and stay on track with my lesson.
ReplyDelete2.When I'm sleepy I totally space out and just stop paying attention. so i have to get my rest or i"m no good at all!!!
And when alot of chatter and talking is going on I can't focus. So rest and noise levels play a maor factor in me being able to be an active listener.
1. My strategy of taking notes is either outlining or writting down the main poits that the instructor emphasizes.
ReplyDelete2. i am an auditory learner, and the smallest sounds could distract me. Also if I am worrying about a problem i tend to lose focus on what i am trying to do.

1.) I don't have a particular note-taking strategy. I just right down the information that I don't already know. Mosty importantly, whatever the profressor writes on the board is very efficient to everyone, so I make sure I write it down. I think the outlining strategy will be efficient to me.
ReplyDelete2.) Some of my barriers to active listening are prejudging, talking,and bringing my emotions to the table. I can incorporate into my active listening by listening for key words, phrases, and hints.
1. When taking notes, before I go to the class at hand, I read the chapter. Next, I take my own personal notes on what i have read in that specific chapter or subject. Following, I attend the selected class, and take notes on what the teacher then discussed, then I return home and compare my notes to those of the teacher.
ReplyDelete2. Some of my barriers to active listening are stating my own opinions, being alert to whats being said, as well as telling if I don't understand or getting a more in depth explanation.

ReplyDelete1)my method of note taking now is basically write everything that the teacher puts on the board. which is how some people get confused. so one method that i can add is to delete all the things that aren't needed in the lesson.
2)Some barriers that keep me from listening are the distractions that i have. Also, sometimes the teacher touches briefly on something that catches my attention more than the lesson does and i will start focusing on that topic instead of the lesson. or the section that we are on.
i could increase my note taking skills by writing down the main focuses of the lesson and bubble the real important information.
1.I really just write what the instructor puts on the board.It seems to work better for me like that.It is also less time consuming. The mapping system would prove to be best for me being as how I can just jot down my thoughts as they come.
ReplyDelete2. Some barriers that prohibits me from listening are scattered or sparatic thoughts,that usually are more interesting and more detail than the instuctor.I can increase my note taking skills and attempt to eat a snack to remain focus.

ReplyDelete1.)my way of talkin notes is to outline what i am reading or to write what i am listening to. the note taking skills i can use is to write notes so i can understand them not like i see them in the book.
2.) the things that keep me from listening is not being focus or giving the person that is speaking my undivide attention. the things i can do by changing this is to pay attention or i can get a tape recorder.
1. my strategy in note taking is to listen to what the teacher says, and write down the most important information. i write the imformation in my own words so that i can understand them more.
ReplyDelete2. my barriers to active listening are to pay attention to what is being said and to conceive the information in its entirety.
When I'm taking notes I listen for important things that the teacher might say a few times. Sometimes I may write things the way he or she says it but most of the time I write my notes in my own works.
ReplyDeleteMy barriers to active listening are prejuding and listening. also, to pay attention to what is being said in the classroom.
when i take notes i usually just write down anything i think is important or that i dont already know. and like chilia i also write down the repetitious stuff.
ReplyDeletesome barriers that keep me froom listening effectively are me having a short attention span and also my phone.
im always on my phone or checking it.
My method of note taking is preety relevent to the methods stated i write them down at times highlight them . I think i could record some lectures and listen to them at night.
ReplyDeletefocusing more on the subject at hand ,a nd ask more questions
My current note taking system involves the outline or simply copyn what the teacher writes down.
ReplyDelete2) My barriers to active listening are prejuding and listening. also, to pay attention to what is being said in the classroom.
1.I dont have a particular way to take notes i have a short atention spand so the best thing for me to do is read for myself
ReplyDelete2.my active barrier when it comes to listening would be to ask questions so i can stay focused
Deionka conners
I dont have a particular style of note taking, i usually just write down everything that my teacher is saying and/ or what my teacher is writing on the board.
ReplyDeletemy barriers are trying to taking notes while I'm listening at the same time, i sometimes just start simply writing the notes instead of comprehending what is being said.
