Does anyone know of a good way to study and get better notes?

Learning how to take better study notes in class helps improve recall and understanding of what you are learning because it:

1) Ensures you are actively listening to what the teacher is saying

2) Requires you to think about what you are writing

3) Helps you make connections between topics

4) Serves as quality review material for after class

Using different note taking strategies is important, especially as you progress through high school and transition to college or university. There are several note taking techniques you can use to start taking better notes in class.

Hoep this helps <3

So basically, when I'm taking notes in class, like during a lecture, I write the date, subject, and teacher at the top, as well as the unit and lesson number. Then I start writing (or sometimes typing) facts that stick out to me or that I think are important, such as dates, times, and events. Once I kind of get an idea of what the lecture is about, I label the groups of notes. Such as in history, I might label some of the notes as "economic facts," or "geography facts." If I was studying for a test, I would make fake tests for myself filled with questions that I expect to see on the real test, and sometimes, I would just do some more research on it online. Also, studying with a friend seriously helps. They can explain to you concepts that you don't understand, and you can better understand the ones you already know by explaining it to them. Plus, you need to take a lot of breaks. If you find yourself getting distracted or fidgety, take a break and relax for a little bit. And another thing for taking notes: when the day is over and you're at home doing nothing, take the time to go over your notes and write a short summary of what you know, just to confirm what you learned, and write any questions you may have about the subject so you know to look into it another time. I really hope this helps, and good luck to the future. Everyone is different. Just find what fits you.

Explanation:

light-year  

the distance that light travels in a vacuum in one year, equal to about 9.46 trillion km (5.88 trillion mi). light-years are used in measuring interstellar and intergalactic distances.  

parsec  

a unit of distance used in astronomy, equal to about 3.25 light years (3.08 × 1016 meters).  

parallax  

the apparent angular displacement of a celestial body due to its being observed from the surface instead of from the center of the earth (diurnal parallax or geocentric parallax) or due to its being observed from the earth instead of from the sun (annual parallax or heliocentric parallax)  

absolute magnitude  

the magnitude (brightness) of a celestial object as it would be seen at a standard distance of 10 parsecs.  

apparent magnitude  

the magnitude of a celestial object as it is actually measured from the earth.  

redshift  

an increase in the wavelength of radiation emitted by a celestial body as a consequence of the doppler effect.  

the great thing about your imagination is that it doesn't have to make sense! if i were you i would be stuck in space, no communication with earth travelling around and around, you can only guess how long its been since your communication broke down. you land on an undiscovered planet, you do a scientific investigation examining the elements and conditions. you come across alien lifeforms.  

best of luck!
