I'm sure if I come the director of the
Learning Resources Center
were actually were being filmed today
as also was telling you so if you have it signed a release form please do so
and if you don't want to be filmed in just say that the
back to the room and this is Allison Bostwick
she and I i coordinate these workshops that were behaving strangely because
we're being filmed we have to be on record for all the people
which is a hello to the virtual people who'll be viewing this later
see hello welcome to the workshop you're not here now but you'll be here later
I okay I just want to start by a
letting you know that the resources for well
the calendar events for this is available online so
as are many resources that you might find useful so if years ago that
campus home page under current students
and click on learning resources the third one it will take you to our
will take you this page which then you just click on the first
bullet and that takes you to our home page if you use any computer in the LRC
at this defaults to this home page
but the the mouse is not working
I am so the schedule for all the workshop this year the left hand menu
as are many other resources I think you would a
find a value I am to want to spend a lot of time with this but up
for example the Writing Center is a great resource on campus to you it's
it's free and you can use it up to three times a week
arm tutorial center will have a schedule tutors on campus
the workshop calendar is right here
and there's another series of workshops and writing skills which kinda falls
every other week
in here I am resources is just generally they're just academic resources
I'll and so that can help you there there
actually indexed for you so if you're involved tonight yessir typical
activities that you engaged in a student's
are covered there with resources available to you so
I am anyway that's I think that's enough for that
so the plan today is arm
to talk a little but no taking
find out why you're here first of all you know what it is you're hoping to get
and I
and then practice so think
facts of K
arm say
just take what are these as they come around
so many have you
doolittle though taking exercise in just a few minutes but these are really the
notes on what I'm gonna be talking about today so you don't actually have to take
notes to the doc taking
no workshop ironically so
you can just concentrate on listening alright so let's start with why you're
here
so what is it about note-taking that I have you have questions about her that
has causes
cause you some difficulties in the past would like to get out of today I guess
that's what
I'm asking yes okay
too many notes
okay ways affected
okay you mean techniques or waste okay ways techniques
we are going to cover K
group
so hander your no just in your hair
that this word
what'd the okay
making them use for where some the problems you encounter with note-taking
puts the why's it so challenging
signals
because I which with these I I correct okay
yeah I can't decide what is can't decide what to what to note
you know
that's good is Ralph good other other
just challenges with note-taking yes they are
ok I think everybody talks faster than most people right so
you okay
it seems to be one more popular ones right
anything else that's missing appear that we need to address
too many notebooks
okay you know this is a great that problem is such a great problem
because
you know I think a lot of people think I've note-taking is just that a kind of
an exercise in recording information:
you know almost like you're he was being an audio recording device of some kind
but it's really a learning tool and I think if you start thinking about in
terms of like a staged
learning tool with their there things you do initially
you want to return to those notes and do other things with them and then return
to those notes and do other things with those
right so to start thinking about not as just one
one event where you're trying to copy down everything somebody says
a which is impossible for most people arm
usually in the air and note-taking workshops like this though say will
really need this
think about the key concepts and write down the key concepts and the problem
with that advice is that
it's often difficult when you're sitting in a room to even know what the key
concepts are like
this poor guy says I don't take notes you know he swore them off entirely
because
I don't know what to write down I don't know what's important so
I mean there are some clues about what's important and what would some of those
clues be
for yeah featured said well emphasizes is actually a good word so how can a
teacher emphasize something to you as a student
what are some techniques for doing that sheik okay so
so you can have you could have a repetition
so if you hear it more than once that should be a clue it office said to you
more than once it was probably significant is
here she is said it more than once what are some other techniques for
emphasis he for reading guys okay so
yeah yeah because I mean that's another question actually
their different context in which we take notes the most common one is in a
lecture
situation but you also take note when you read I hope
I mean you should and so that's a similar activity but it's not quite so
there's a switch pressure involved because there's not the time factors
kinda different
that slide bus
the hot all history right
I just feel like I takes for ever yes
all re yeah
from yeah yeah i think is summer in some regard as for that
we also have a test taking workshop and I'd encourage you to come to that one
but I it was also when you take the test taking workshop we say well you know
people think if test is isolated events and they're not that either
they're also just one in a series of educational event so
I think you know it's tougher with online in reading answer trying to
figure out what's
what's a most significance a you can do that I've been quiring with your
instructor of course
you can do that by the texture reading which themselves tend to repeat ideas
that are most significant
you know they tend to emphasize various things and you can find a way
to just highlight those sections so that you can go back to them quickly
later on when you're when you getting ready for test because you're
note-taking really
typically should just be away have building your knowledge
you know making your knowledge deeper and also then preparing you for an exam
right so it's not just recorded information it's like
I'm going to use this as a study tour basically we're gonna talk about how to
do that today
I am okay so I'll
how else will a teacher tend to emphasize something though
so they can repeat things might be the study guide how else does that happen
sir usually there's some kind of an example offered
so because if there's an example that means that the concept is significant
enough that the instructor think so I need to illustrate this in some way to
make it clear to you
so you're being offered an example yeah that's probably something to write down
and there's one other big one
one really big indicator that something matters
or you would think it was a key concept
her teachers let you know something matters
so he i yes they usually don't do that today but
as if there's a way that works is this the poor student you know says
is this going to be on the test in the instructor gets really addicted you know
it's a
it shouldn't matter if it's going to be a very rough its all-important
you know I am but they may say
some may say it's gonna be a or they may say you know listen this is important
write them I just tell you this is important but they might also write on
the board
that's the thing sofas on the board write it down and by the way if it is on
the board
what I'd recommend you do as you keep a separate sheet of paper for your in
class or so sheets of paper
and put them in this serve landscape
you know mode that like this but like this because this work closely resembles
this
in the you know it filters you aspect ratio right now the worse is the same
aspect ratio is the board basically so you can write things
on this piece a paper in the exact location
they occur on this board and that's a huge memory tool for most nervous
divvy especially if you're were visually inclined as a learner
because you know basically what you're doing is
you're taking a snapshot of something that's going to trigger
of visual memory in your break and I would also by the way recommend that you
can learning styles workshop if you haven't done that
because it might help familiarize you with what kind of learner you are
many of us are highly visual I also I are both pretty
pretty much visual and if you think about it most if the information you get
is a student is verbal
and in the in the learning styles assessment it's set up
under a arranged according to some learning theories by
a fill-in Kolber and he says that
as pretty you know it seems pretty plausible that your preferences
either forwards or images
you know you fall somewhere along the line between you know say images and
words
and so if you're over on this side on the visual side as many of us are
but we have an English teacher and major so there's no logic here clear
you know direct logic I just happen to be highly visual but you have my word
person
I but in any case if you're getting a lot of input that's
thats you know over here on the word side
and your and you're a ver visual person
you're gonna have to find some way to go to convert that information in a way
that's useful to you
and one way to do that is by you know putting the paper in the former the
board
when you write it it's almost like it's not so much the words so much
as where they're written on the board and you're recalling what if it took
place when those things got written on the board
right so so it's you know if you think about is it
is it easier for you to recall a conversation you had with a friend about
something academic
or something you've read a book about something academic
you know if the former is the case that your you know it's it's a good chance
you're more visual
just like the visual memory to help a jew every
your recall it being alright so let's start with
a
back
the month
why we start with a really common a former note-taking
I'm just gonna sort of show it to you is called the Cornell method
and it it looks like this this is intended
primarily it actually could work in a variety of situations but is
its intended primarily for use in the classroom and what you do is you take
your steady piece a paper
and you divide it like this you actually draw lines on it like this
and a actually despite you could take notes on this i think probably
take note undertaking how so this call Cornell because that's where it was
developed
and it works like this basically you put your notes over here
and by the way when you take notes leave a lot of space between them
when you take them try to write them as neatly as possible
even if it's going to slow you down but that's okay too big a slowing down is
gonna relax you
and that's a whole lot of what's going on here is you've got anxiety because
you know as you say you can't keep up with the speaker so that gives you
additional anxiety
makes the process even harder so relax
take your time by one of my colleagues said the other day
for note-taking what she tells Peter Stevens is just right as many words as
you care
which was the new to me if I once got a while but you know
what she's what she's talking about is don't worry about key concepts
just write down as much as you comfortably cared as you sit there
and OB complicating it further by thinking about was this important or not
right and actually this technique is designed to store to help you with that
process
so you take your note you replace the space between what you write
and why do you leave plenty of space between what you write in your notes
why would you want to do that the
teachers future sure yeah because you can that's a very good so you could add
more
later and how much later as little later as possible
right in other words you want to get back to your notes as soon as you care
preferably that day every preferably within an hour but most of us don't have
lives that allow for that
but definitely within the day right before you go to sleep
returned your notes and then you can just recall what happened you could add
whatever's missing here
ideally you have an hour after class sit down with your notes
just flesh them out in between and leave plenty of space to do that
because you don't think about it here is studying these things right as you study
them
if what you're looking at is this kind of cramped you know tortured
document its you know it's what you're going to get upstairs is this crap
tortured experience so
you know just make it legible take your time
leave plenty of space a alright so you got notes
in this section of in this section you have
usually something they're sort of notes on the notes
okay so that means anything that you want to say about what you've written
here you can put over here
in other words you might want to come up with a set of symbols
erectus gonna vary from person to person 10 my symbols that I like to use this
cuz it's simple
and it just means that something is important alright so I would use this to
say well this is important
I with the use a simple like this with the circle around it meaning it requires
action so it's something I've gotta
because you know my note-taking has changed over the years from being a
student to being a teacher and a
quasar administrator so I go to beatings here you take notes from meetings
well what do I need to know I do you know what sort of important from the
meeting
so you know you wanna mark what's important for 10 more importantly go
back and Mark what do I have to do stuff about
you know what we're gonna it's gonna require some extra activity on my part
so it is very simple you know I might have something like this because I'm
confused
and so if I'm confused and I'm going to use this to say well here's
here's a section about notes that I've confused about
so I'm either gonna ask a question in class or I'm gonna go talk to my
instructor later
career talk to a tutor later right
or maybe something comes up for a question has been you know our times
teachers will raise questions as a discussion
thing you know just sort of here's a good question disorder help us better
understand a topic
if you come upon or those you can just circle that and say wait is a good
question to pursue for research paper something like that
alright so it doesn't really matter what the symbols are that you use it just
matters that you have some
because it speeds up the process reserve having to write out the whole thing like
wow this is puzzling or
I did ask about this you are you've already done that
right so we've already got a short the kind abbreviated way vindicated
yes from work with the symbols on that call ready for my next the nose
I would put the symbols in this column adjacent to whatever the note is
to which this symbol pertains alright
any other questions about the symbols and how they work
so really popular method note-taking at the bottom with the way the other party
this is at the bottom you put a summary
and by the way that you know their various takes on Cornell and how to do
it
if you just google Cornell note-taking you'll see probably ten
variations on how to do this but the main thing is this
you've got a tool available to you that has already kind of separated
information as so it's something that's going to make your whole process more
efficient
that's the point right so it's a it's
its made ahead of time you've put some thought into it ahead of time so it
saves you time
in the moment if the lecture whatever the business going on
now at the bottom of this page what you're supposed to do and one in the
most
sort of typical method with Cornell as you summarize
what's written up here okay now summary
I just a mirror gonna give you little many lecture on the
Blooms Taxonomy and I will use that to try another note-taking technical
clustering
but right now i would tell you some worry is what are the strongest tools
you have for building memory
because it forces you to look at a lot of information
and and kinda boil it down to something smaller
which is that you know it's an intellectual process but it also forces
you to put it in your own words
and that's really powerful the terms of memory and recall
and just understanding generally you know you all if they all had that
experience right where you think you know something
and that you're going to explain it to somebody used you're talking a long ago
where no you know you have to think about it because what you're really
doing is
is a betting is more deeply in your knowledge base to you know what is this
thing actually in
terms of myself my understanding so you summarize it
so what my point here is is that in summarizing you're already
turning this into a learning tool it's no longer just a recording
because you give your brain a chance to process it by summarizing it so that's
really good
and I have what you've summarize that
you can use this as this test preparation tool because what you do is
you take another piece a paper
an art on your notes you discover a pic notes park right
you just cover this part up you would read the summary
and from the summer you would recall as many of the details as you can on the
page
right and that's going to help you further summarize was also gonna help
you figure out what you don't really know
okay so it's a great tool it's easy you've already done the work right
you've already taken the notes
you've already summarized so they're yours going back to it
the more times you return to something the better your chances I've really
knowing it
understand it alright
so any questions about this
here would North there's nothing in the
here
units here
sure sure you in other words the symbols are gonna kind have
I they're kinda represent whatever it is that you typically
is our categories have response basically their typical
you know in other words like if you're I am
have you can use it anywhere you want right but maybe you're listening to a
lecture
and you're just looking for key points in that lecture that pertain to your
research project or you're listening for key point to that lecture so you might
put in our
in the body over here because at least as for research
something to return to already you think it's clearly a test that's a pretty
because it's pretty clear it's going to be on the test right
so it again it's just sort of what are the things that are typically asked have
you as a student
those are the things you want to represent with symbols but you're
perfectly able to also
right over here if you want you know if you want to articulate a question about
something that you've written notes then just write it out
and then you know that issue you know this is kinda view and this is kinda it
right so this is you responding to it as they're trying to do it all in one place
you separate it which makes it a lot easier to do
that so yeah averted that the left side
the cones for good you have to regulate your specific question
how and units is the answer
adjacent to it right see for the paper
she exactly and that's what are those variations you know if you google
again if you google Cornell method there's a lot of really nice variation
just look at it and see which one seems that would work best for you
or try different words okay
other questions
okay let's try something else and
this is a a note-taking technique that helps
really pretty early visual learners has a love you may have used it
its call clustering and work
what it does is it just yet hmm
it allows you to kind have provide a visual representation of what you're
hearing
without having to really engage in a lot of words
right it's more it's more a visual thing that a verbal thing
and it is I love
is something that you could actually do I guess you could conceivably do this
even into Cornell method
the typical you just you do it on sheets of paper and as with any note-taking
use what's a paper a/c idea artist no word is not a time to conserve paper
more the better and clustering works like this so who had a lecture this
morning
some kind of class that involve lecture
that would you my turn it off expects I
who had a something but sure if they've got
okay what was the subject little sociology excellent so what was the main
topic at a lecture
research how to do research good okay
so if here's what you do you would write
on a piece of paper research because you know
you know usually your instructors gonna say a
you know sometimes I'll actually give you a preview of what are we talking
about that day
but typically you know they start talking okay we regard the trees
so research goes in the center and what did you find out about research relative
to sociology
I to you
okay what's one of those ways they face to face
okay so you it's a face to face and
a
and what is it about face to face research is that remember anything
loop I
up
okay so this is my micro
okay so
to see where this is going he resisted you're not really
you're not having to write out what your connections are between the things
you showing the connections between the six visually so it's less words
more discover what are the relationships I've ideas was there anything else about
a what are some other research techniques said
okay surveys and have
are the difficult the surveys hit
question
or
or what phone okay
okay did you learn anything about how to do something that stuff
yeah yes okay good
okay so I've did you are you thinking and what kinda survey might you be doing
thought about okay
alright I anything else in terms the research
surveys this is gonna play with no one is ever gonna answer question again in
here because
work I'm just grilling you about what happened and yeah so
ap fault
yeah yeah well let me point out something actually
I even though it appears that I'm torturing her by asking her for the
details over lecture this morning
her answers to those questions are probably actually
greatly enhancing her recollection
have that event effect is gonna be too full now because now she was put in
publishers put
you know sort of it up play Civ well answer this question a public setting so
she's likely to remember this event as well
and what she said here so that's sort of where
you know what are the questions on the learning styles assessment is when you
think about yesterday do you think your images are you think I've it in words
so is think about that for a second and you know the answer to that question is
one indicators that whether your visual or verbal so
you know if you think about it images as I do then that's thats that's a good
indicator if you think about it words than those of us who are visual just
can't even imagine what that would be like
you know so so here's a
here's a case where you know she has been given an opportunity to have a kind
of narrative memory
from having spoken in a public place for study group a really good for visual
people
alright so let's try an experiment
well first of all there any questions about this quest wrinkling it looks
kinda messy right
it is but again it's just easier if your visual processor
and use lots a pay-per-use keep flipping the pages new topic
make a new middle bubble because probably a in a situation like
your teachers by saying now with phone surveys it's very important that you
you know call and make an appointment and set a time and call later and have
prepared questions you know so
all those things would be little lines coming off this
with their own little information assigned to them alright
any questions which they got a piece a paper
I hope you have what if you don't you can borrow one and I want to try
something
I'd like you to give it just take a stab at Quest re so I'm going to talk to you
above I'm gonna talk to you as if I were
teacher I've educational theory and I'm gonna be talking to you today
about Blooms Taxonomy okay so that's the subject
are there safe blooms tech support is at Bloom's taxonomy some
to say well today we're talking about looms packs I'll tell me
all right now and so what your job right now is to take out a piece a paper or
several
and with European see if you can keep a cluster
series have nose for what about to tell you and I will see what you come up with
you can you can share with your if your fellow worker
folks okay so Blooms Taxonomy
I'll you know first evolved
we say what is a taxonomy we would say well a taxonomy is
a does anyone know what it actually is a
science majors out there from comes up in biology a lot
so is it basically a taxonomy is a wave
assorted ordering things putting things in some kinda order
and usually it's a it's an order that has a hierarchy in other words it's it's
gotta
it's got upper and a lower rent alright so Blooms Taxonomy
has it came out as I is in the fifties
actually it came up because love a
sputnik and you no doubt do not remember sputnik
but I've I at least was a life once but they could happen
sputnik was a at the russians basically be just a space
you know they put a satellite in space and before we did
and we were shocked as a nation we were
couldn't believe it you know it's like their know those large gloves that have
two fingers on the right word individual that were number two
why we couldn't take it was like for what you mean they be just the space
this is an outrage
so what it led to was a kind ever I'm
a big self assessment of how we were teaching in america what
what's going on in the college's and it this study group
who is headed by flex it wasn't headed by Justice is they have started with a
be
so he was at the head of the list alphabetically now he gets all the
credit
say so few academic research in your future
might want to change your last name to something with start for the day
you know be too aardvark 2 A's you know
I have so Blooms Taxonomy was an attempt to sort it was
talk about work is met by intellectual difficulty
you know what the Lord what's harder than what appear mentally
and what they came up with was they said that
if you look at this as a pyramid you said the bottom of the pyramid
is memorization
alright so memorization that just means you read something can you repeat back
what you've read
just you know verbatim and one step up from there
is what we were just talking which is sometimes called understanding
but you know just as with
a the corner on the method if you google this stuff you'll see many variations on
bloom as well
but this is sort of the basic one so memorization
lowest level one step higher in terms of difficulty
is understanding sometimes is called comprehension
and the way you actually verify comprehension
is by summary
okay so whereas memorization is just kind of repeating
summarizing means condensing first divall
and then putting it in your own words okay we've already talked about how that
helps you remember stuff
and above that is application
and I'll application means can you take an idea or concept
and apply it to situation
so what would be an example that what in your
you know your academic life requires that you apply thanks when you're US to
apply stuff
I'm sorry
sure lab is one great a classic example love you know we've learned some
concepts let's test them in a lab
and see if we can apply what we know up here too to real-life experience
for with physical objects usually sure
what else you asked to apply stuff we are still here
yes this stuff because the lecture ok and how is that house what's what's
worse the application there yet
a at a time yet to prepare for it
a friend it the few their parts but a mere from your friends
then take it Ashton when you go very up there you're so you have to sort begin
probably by summarizing what you know
do some preparation and have this preparation you apply at the mall where
you stand up and give a performance that some guy
right okay you know you might be learning
I basics of grammar and your actual a playa by writing sentences
you know causative essay writing you learn them you try to apply them by
writing essays
your athletic sure learning concepts about how to hit a baseball then used at
the plate trying to do so
right so it's always sort of I've got the idea how do I put it to
guy identify a first-ball duck and I put it to put into practice
alright so a I'm just gonna quickly tell you the others cuz I know you're done
with your curiosity
I'll you've got analysis as above that is synthesis
and these two my way analysis would be sort of like you know you could analyze
these
five digits you know these five fingers individually and say what are they how
they work
but if you were going to synthesize these five things that you'd analyzed
it means you take them and you combine them
and you turn them into something else so in other words you may go from there
like this do something like this
right which is a very different thing you know a fist right
is a motive synthesis because you've taken five things you free combined them
and use or change the function to right you know
you meet someone you know go like this right well I mean you might have as a
nature how the meeting I guess but you know typically if you go like this
you know which is another way of synthesizing these five fingers
right okay the last the last thing is a valuation
and evaluation you know we say is a good as a bad does it work is it not
let's consider the highest level of intellectual activity
and you know
if you think about it culturally week weekend assertively to evaluation
you know we were very quick to evaluate things but then what happens then
there's sort of an inquiry baby
you know I can say well I thought this film was super bright
and you say well why was it super well then you're gonna have to start going
back down here
and looking at the various parts of it to decide what what was it about this
film that
really got you to think about is has excellent yeah if you're learning math
argue
I love you yeah well you know
the I would say in math you have to memorize formula right
and then you have to take those sayings and
what do you do with them whose is taken basic math in here
okay what do you memorize it appeared at
took an introductory math class let's stick with that okay for SIP
you rote memorization both location tables right
this times this equals this there's a lot of that
that sort of work a time-saving saying I'll
what else do you memorize and in math
formulas like
white cloth
okay yes are there certain it isn't there an order a force to call the order
of the
after operations I said yes it's been a while hors d'oeuvres operations
I and you memorize that
and I know many of you have and then the and then you would take that and you
woulda
paw I at for so you have to sort of understand that by telling somebody else
if I was a what does that mean hors d'oeuvres operations what does that mean
somebody your
practices first in and
okay is that correct everyone your dad or was it okay so
so you might have real acronym to help you remember what the what those stages
are
you know a word that you come up with that will help you with the first letter
***
saying okay so you just memorized it as she was doing issues going like this and
she's thinking
and cheese summarizing right so she's building her understanding
in that act and then she stopped the next we can't really do it here because
I don't have any
be a thing for you to solve but if we did you say ok ever take that concept
now we look at this string of figures
and I'm gonna put him in some kinda order now what are you doing here apply
what you've learnt
every a lot of math is down here
a whole lotta various you know now when you get into a thing I've like
okay I screwed up on my math test then you've got a sort is go up here
and take about will where did I go wrong let me analyze this and figure out what
stage in this process today screw-up
K yeah um
with the evaluation be the test no but that's a good
I mean well as a bit sudden was no that's not the best
power I it's not the test at
and have a test isn't a formal valuation for sure
but this means evaluation in a different way it means evaluation in terms I have
well would be so if you get your test back and you look at you say well I did
well on this test
or I did not or you might get the test you go
this test is a good sort have tested my knowledge
or this test sucks this doesn't test my knowledge at all
you know so badly written test you know that's a formal valuation
so now you're I'm trying to think you know
your instructors are evaluating you but that's really it
it's a different kind of thing because it's a set instrument this is more like
it could go either way
you know so is it this is more the realm of
you know this is an effective teacher or not so effective teacher
you know you're evaluating that your valuating it on the basis serve
you know data in a way or information that you've taken your
K so
yes curious about so that understanding
revision is I guess summarizing
here were sir
if you owners think you understand something from reiterating its you're
worth
but that's right it major understanding if something is incomplete
that's right and guess what I mean and by the way we're going to go back to
note-taking here any second
I that very process is something I to
we tend to think I have learning as I don't understand it
now I understand it it is not like that this is hardly ever like that
and in fact here's that were sick we tend to think I have
I don't know this or I don't understand this that's bad
I'm flawed I have failed right we say
I'm confused as if that's a bad thing you know being confused is not a bad
thing
being confused as a normal thing being confused is how you learn
because it's out of confusion that wheeler right
if you think about it logically if you were never confused it would mean
your knowledge base would never have been challenged it would be the same way
wouldn't go anywhere we just sit there
you know flat dead on the table right confusion is the thing that inspires us
to grow that's how we learn so
you know you've gotta realize like when you're summarizing something and you say
oh I don't quite get there I left that part out her
so they gots that's fine that's a normal part of the process
and these tools are just designed to help you in that process
so it's not quite so painful so you don't feel like you're just starting
over every time
you have a method cake now
I have a question about that this pretenders a method you were taking
notes with clustering I hope
you didn't you're sorta lose that part of it so what it was in the center of
your quest her
what you quite we can get rid of this though
what goes in the middle
yeah that's probably it right so you got Bloom's taxonomy in the middle
and what are the major things coming off at that yes
next okay taxonomy and that he might have sputnik
and but well and by the way you know you might get a note-taking environment is a
sputnik you know I can write down everything is as much but Nick but
really if you can come back to your notes soon enough you won't have to
casual just remember
it's just that the memory is this it's a very small and delicate thing
and a as I can testify from personal experience it grows smaller and more
delegate with age
you know so so you are lucky if so that is robust memories but they're still
think if it is a tiny delicate box you know you wanna stuff for 24
so you know at any one time so if you strip dance but they can you came back
to this
within a couple of hours you would remember enough to put a line
and good what do you remember russians space
anxiety yep like that fifties
yeah all that stuff and that's all you need to remember really sorry
work his called what's even better to see now you're getting into like
that's like analysis yet so that's great that's fine
your cold war anxiety competition that's what it was
star for the Cold War up okay well so we've got
taxonomy we've got sputnik what else did you ever
from that
hierarchy okay so it's a hierarchy is
sorta what it is so this this might be a
something you would go like this right because they're kind of connected
you can use lies that way hierarchy and taxonomies are connected
yes but said
lead house
but this
within yeah it does you know
its that's a great we have done it there's a certain philosophical
dimensions that about
it does separate us and so that's another taxonomy
but I K I always think about that stuff you know it's like tough making up these
taxonomies
you know we're not asking the rabbits you know because we can communicate with
which we take to be there failing
you know sizes is it's a curious thing but have often
we i think is a nose the food chain you know what it's what basically
is in terms of a hierarchy that the food chain and we do for ourselves at the top
of the food chain but
on the basis of brains and
technology you know brains weapons like that
so that can change as people though have been outstanding in their
rifle jay loves you know suddenly they're no longer the top the future
a okay so what else about this that what about Blooms Taxonomy where the average
period education so was education
so it had it was going to education reform baby you might say
I'd probably put that in there and did anybody right down the major
parts at bloom because I wrote it on the board in a triangle so what would you
maybe want to have done with that
good you might want to have copied it on a piece of paper that was the same shape
as a poor grade
and put it on the same place on the piece a paper it was on the board
so you remember it but you can also again reduplication over here
and the main parts of it are what was the lowest level a blue
okay so memorization so you can just say members Asian
maybe you might want to put one by it so you know its lowest
and what's the next what okay so it's understanding
and again because because you don't know what the sequences hereof as you might
want to put it to you on that right and so forth
so you've got you know memorization understanding
application and just for future knowledge
because let you know a bloom is it really a sequence
it doesn't mean that when you're thinking about stuff you have to start
at the bottom and then
gradually work your way up through the steps because the brain just doesn't
operate that way
is just to let you know well how difficult is this question
I'm being asked to do and by the way as a teaching device it does get used by
teachers a lot
they'll use bloom was could be useful to you students actually
many view teachers are using blue because they'll ask a question
to a class or to an individual and the vivid visual sort of struggling
and again knowledge acquisition is what its confusion and struggle that's how
you get there
so if they're struggling to a point where they can't do anything
then usually what you try to do is just ask a question that is at a lower level
on blue alright so in other words if I've asked you to analyze something
in for a feud with a little practice it becomes very clear to you what
the nature of the question is the rest to analyze something you can't do it
that I would probably say well let's not talk about what it means let's talk
about what it is
what is it identify it and now you're down the level of understanding
right okay then having once identified it then you can return to the question
that's more analytical
and typically a student is then sorted prepared to better answer that question
so what their a colleague have is also Jeff's
boss a I years ago made this
a is his inspiration I should give full credit
a for this thing we call to verbal dater and
I love based on an old Saturday Night Live skit called the
bassam attic where you are the idea what you took your assignment
and it actually it's out there still so where you took your so we just dump it
into this field
it pulls all the verbs out of the assignment and that all those verbs are
assigned to some level a blue
so that a student could look at that and say well what am I being asked to do and
as a side and we have to do some analysis
would have to do so here's a summary we have to do some evaluation
I love it didn't exactly take off but it was a
i think is you know it's something is something worth considering when you're
looking at an assignment that you're given
underline the burbs and see how they do apply to blue
and it will give you a better handle on what's expected a view as a student
alright so I in we're just about out of time so
what on this handout I gave you it basically summarizes what we've talked
about today
there are some you know things about abbreviating condensing
I think if if you were to a
let me just ask you this again as a kinder to put into practice what we've
been preaching fear
if you're going to summarize what we just talked about what would you say is
one key concept in good note-taking
which one good thing you can do as a note taker
organized organizing them okay and what what else can you do is a good as a good
note taker
take time okay that have and what sets could you elaborate on that how
if seven-fold York
of both good okay
take time and then out what else in relation to what he just said about
taking time
is a basic concept note taking spaces leap lenny is space is OK and related to
that what's a basic concept for that a good
go back and review missed initial possibly care use the space that's
available 0
and by the way the first that their companies that I have to 80 sites that
that is great
because what that means is you look at your notes you sift through them
you summarize them yourself and that's
that in itself is a great learning tool right
extracting stuff forget to take time get back to them said to
leave plenty space try some different techniques right
it doesn't have to be written out in sentences get as many words on the page
as you can
try clustering is weird at first but after you've tried a few times you may
find it it's very comfortable for
okay well thank you for your attention and I had courage you to come to our
future work truck
