If you get one book in the How to Study series, this should be it. It's the most useful and important. While his particular system for taking notes is annoying and illegible to me, his general strategies and suggestions are all sensible, his discussions on outlining, using index cards for research papers, and notes for oral presentations are all good.
An Essential for Note Taking
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
Ron Fry's study books helped me immensely when I went away to college. His "Take Notes" book will help you figure out what is important in a lecture (meaning what you need to take notes on), taking notes from assigned reading, tips on shorthand, and putting your notes together to help you succeed.
