Summarizing and Note Taking

 * Generatizations from McREL's Research

__Summarizing Generalizations:__**
 * 1) To effectively summarize, students must delete some information, substitute some information, and keep some information.
 * 2) To effectively delete, substitute, and keep information, students must analyze the information at the fairly deep level.
 * 3) Being aware of the explicit structure of information is an aid to summarizing information.
 * __Note Taking Generalizations:__**
 * 1) Verbatim note taking is perhaps the least effective way to take notes.
 * 2) Notes should be considered a work in progress.
 * 3) Notes should be used as study guides for tests.
 * 4) The more notes that are taken, the better.
