An introduction to note-taking:
Useful note:
should be on the sections of the text that are RELEVANT to you.
should NOT BE A COPY of what you've read. Your notes should combine summaries of what you have read with your thoughts on what you have read.
should be USEFUL to you in building your assignments or in your seminar discussion.
