Handouts: None

Why taking notes is important – keeps you alert and focused on the material
How to prepare for taking notes – read through the material beforehand
Taking notes during class – summarize the material that is discussed
General Note taking suggestions – date your notes each day, use abbreviations, use your own words
What to do with your notes after class – review your notes, make connections between ideas, and create potential test questions

We also took a Science pre-test. If you were absent, you need to make this up on Tuesday morning (August 23) at 7:45am.
