Using Notes to Write Papers
As you begin a paper based on class notes, here are some starting points:
- Use critical thinking techniques to reflect on the material--what is your
opinion of it? What additional examples or explanations can you provide? Can
you connect this material to other classes, outside reading, your own
experiences?
- Be sure to distinguish in your notes among what your professor says, what
information comes from the book, what a classmate has said, and your own ideas
that you wrote down. This way, you can return to the source to search for
more information (and credit the appropriate source).
