Yes. At the beginning of the course I teach the process using structured notes. Those structures are removed, over time, as students learn what to look for and how to turn text or lectures into quality notes. I use an active reading system to teach how to take notes from course content readings. These also begin with structures that are removed over time.
Hi Frank, do you explicitly teach note taking skills at the beginning of the course? What do you do?

The Active Reading System works because it turns reading from a passive activity into an active cognitive process. https://shoemakerf.substack.com/p/what-turns-reading-into-learning?r=2y95p&utm_medium=ios
