Mention about the topic, Note-taking is the part that certainly can help me stay focused on my study. In fact, I get to know this method from a good friend of mine. He, who is the best student in our class, showed me how to get well prepared for academic study. You know, I usually like analysis and writing when I am sitting in the lecture or completing my reports. The core is that, note-taking is surely playing an important role in this trend. In the past, I preferred writing them down on the paper, by doing so, I could have a better understand of the whole thing that is discussed in the curriculums, even sometimes I didn't attend the courses. Till now, thanks to the advancement of modern technology, more options are available to help me concentrate on note-taking, like the recorder of my mobile phone, apparently, this is a more reliable way to assist me to prepare the lecture or presentation. More importantly, it is nearly free of charge. So, that is my point. That is it.
