Here is the link to the article about note-taking that we discussed (and will continue to frequently discuss) during class.

Your assignment is to do what the article says you should do: handwrite "generative" notes. What does that mean? Summarize, paraphrase, diagram, and so on. These are the key to what psychologists call "elaboration" and it is the key to encoding information into your short-term memory.

Related, of course, is the TED talk Feats of memory anyone can do.
