<p>I was wondering how other people take notes for ap classes. I missed the pre-ap sessions at school where they teach the techniques. I heard cornell notes were effective, but I have never used them and would like some feedback on that. I typically just mark sections and label, give ex, etc.</p>
<p>For ex. </p>
<p>1.1 Exploring Data
- Discrete Variable vs. Continuous Variable
<p>1.2…</p>
<p>Any tips? I’m taking AP World and Stats and would like some tips. Thanks.</p>
<p>I don’t really take notes…just read through your textbooks and review books and memorize everything. But if you are so inclined to take notes…just pick a style that suits you.</p>
<p>Personally, I’m not a note-taker. I prefer to listen and just watch the teacher explain; I find that sufficient. But when I do take notes, I take them just like the example you have above. However, experiment and find a style that you like. You may love Cornell-style even though I find that it wastes paper.</p>
<p>I am a note taker and if I take notes I first write it on paper then on computer and it helps.</p>
<p>just draw whatever the teacher is saying and giant man-eating dinosaurs eating everything on the page, works for me.</p>
<p>@apstudent1,</p>
<p>With your current method alone, how would you be able to associate Discrete Variable with other probability distribution techniques, use case etc.? That is, present various knowledge element in a non-linear fashion? </p>
<p>Many people suggest mind mapping, a wrong term really, concept mapping would help…</p>
<p>I’ve been simply labeling defining and giving examples of a lesson…this was an intro lesson to stats so it mainly talked about it’s definition in stats. In other words, I haven’t gotten to prob and more complex usages yet</p>
