Characteristics of Note-Making

Notes need not be written in grammatically correct sentences.

Notes are much shorter than original text.

The main points and the supporting details are distinguished.

Many unimportant words, helping words etc. are usually dropped out.

Information is condensed by using symbols, abbreviations, shorter words etc.

Try not to exceed 5 words in every heading and supporting points.

Try to complete the notes within 4 to 5 headings.

Notes should be presented in a systematic manner that brings out the structure of the original text.

Headings and supporting details are numbered.

Finally, the summary is prepared on the basis of the notes. It should not exceed the limit of 80 words.
