Outline Method

The outline method is perhaps the most common form of note taking used by college students. 

An outline naturally organizes the information in a highly structured, logical manner, forming a skeleton of the textbook chapter or lecture subject that serves as an excellent study guide when preparing for tests. 

It also is great for outlining articles, PowerPoints, and textbook chapters using the titles and subheadings. 

Examples using this note-taking method:
