**What should your notes look like?**

□ Brief –to remind you, not a section by section account

□ Clear –you need to be able to quickly skim them for specific points later

□ Easy to read; legible

□ Easy to understand

□ Organized in a way that you understand

□ Relevant –only make notes on the main points from which you can draw conclusions; do not write out all the details
