Note taking is one of the most crucial parts of being a college student; it’s basically your life source. The quality of your notes can be the one defining factor that can make or break your grades, maybe even determine if you’ll pass a class or not. We can’t stress enough how important it is to acquire the skills of taking “good” notes. And while we could list down all the different tricks and habits of effective note taking, like “pay attention” and “do prior research,” there’s only so little one person can do. So instead, we’re going to give you a trick that we wish we thought of earlier (found online).

By doing so you are able to make the ultimate notes. And what is it that they say? Two heads are better than one. Two heads are better than one, indeed.
