Theories on Note Taking.

This is an interesting article published in the NY Times about a recent conference that took place at Harvard. The conference, called "Take Note," is all about the origins and theories of note taking. One of the more interesting comments, in my opinion, was “But I distrusted the students who took lots of notes as much as the students who didn’t take any.” Peter Burke added, “If you take down everything, it becomes a disease." As compared to how most people say that more is always better when it comes to notes. However Professor Burke professes to believe that the more time you spend taking notes the less time you spend paying attention to the lecture or lesson. This is a very interesting article and provided me with plenty of Food for Thought.
