WHAT IS NOTE?

 Note is a summary that you jot down about knowledge or anything you want to remember as the memory or future references. In a class, jot down what lecturer have shared is very important because student will take a look when examination is coming as their references to study.

 

In school, teacher always remind you to take out pencil and paper to write important message either in class or at assembly, but no one is going to remind you in university. Unless you want to.

 

Besides taking note on sheet, nowadays student prefer to write down important information in gadget such as iPad.
