Now THAT'S Interesting (SMALL)

This assignment is designed to give you practice an ESSENTIAL college skill, taking notes. It may sound boring, but it's really not that bad. You will use a collection of very interesting (and possibly short) video lectures to practice some note-taking strategies I have outlined for you. In the end you will need to explain to me the 6 steps of taking good notes, and practice taking notes for 3 different talks.

Here's a link to a site with some short forms/abbreviation tips for note taking. If you find more, let me know and I'll add them here.
