How to improve your note taking
61. ________________
There is nothing that will help you take better notes than coming to class prepared. Before coming to class make sure that you have read all assigned reading and that you have reviewed your notes from the previous class. Coming to class prepared will help you take much better notes. You’ll be able to take more detailed notes on items you don’t fully understand.
62. ________________
It doesn’t matter how many notes you can take if you can’t make sense of your notes after the lecture is over. Taking clear notes will ensure that you understand the subject matter being discussed, help to remember what is being taught in your mind and will provide you the means to g back after class and review the subject matter being taught..
63. ________________
When class is over, compare your notes to those taken by other students. Sometimes other students will pick up on things discussed by the teacher that you missed or didn’t find important. Comparing notes will help ensure that your notes are complete and correct. Also, you’ll find good ways to take notes from others.
64. ________________
Often after class, you will find out that you can’t remember what the teacher was saying. Review your notes as soon as you can. Reviewing your notes directly following a lecture will make sure that you understand your notes and the lecture. Also, it will help you remember the information you learned.
65. ________________
Quite often you’re going to find that it can be difficult to understand everything the teacher is talking about. Make sure to write down any questions you have or concepts you didn’t understand so that you can go back after class and ask the teacher specific questions or use reference resources to better understand difficult concepts.

The most frightening words in the English language are, “Our computer is down.” You hear it more and more when you are on business. The other day I was at the airport waiting for a ticket to Washington and the girl in the ticket office said, “I’m sorry, I can’t sell you a ticket. Our computer is down.”
“If your computer is down, just write me out a ticket.”
“I can’t write you out a ticket. The computer is the only one allowed to do so.”
I looked down on the computer and every passenger was just standing there drinking coffee and staring at the black screen. Then I asked her, “What do all you people do?”
“We give the computer the information about your trip, and then it tells us whether you can fly with us or not.”
“So when it goes down, you go down with it.”
“That’s good, sir.”
“How long will the computer be down?” I wanted to know.
“I have no idea. Sometimes it’s down for 10 minutes, sometimes for two hours. There’s no way we can find out without asking the computer, and since it’s down it won’t answer us.”
After the girl told me they had no backup(备用) computer, I said. “Let’s forget the computer. What about your planes? They’re still flying, aren’t they?”
“I couldn’t tell without asking the computer.”
“Maybe I could just go to the gate and ask the pilot if he’s flying to Washington, ” I suggested.
“I wouldn’t know what gate to send you to. Even if the pilot was going to Washington, he couldn’t take you if you didn’t have a ticket.”
“Is there any other airline flying to Washington within the next few hours?”
“I wouldn’t know, ” she said, pointing at the dark screen. “Only ‘IT’ knows. ‘It’ can’t tell me.”
By this time there were quite a few people standing in lines. The word soon spread to other travelers that the computer was down. Some people went white, some people started to cry and still others kicked their luggage.
