Learn how to take notes effectively using the charting method!
What is charting?
When you use the charting note-taking method, you use a table or a spreadsheet structure to organise information into different categories or topics.
How does it work?
- Divide your page into separate columns.
- Give each column a heading or a label. Think about how you want to organise your notes to identify the most useful headings.
- Enter notes under the relevant column.
When would you use it?
- To help you prepare for exams, tests or tutorials.
- To make notes when you are reading for your assignments.
- To organise information so you can easily see relationships or make comparisons between different ideas or concepts.
Here is an example:
Your content goes here. Edit or remove this text inline or in the module Content settings. You can also style every aspect of this content in the module Design settings and even apply custom CSS to this text in the module Advanced settings.
