College life has become more and more adventurous throughout the years. Currently, I’m in my junior year as an entrepreneurship student while juggling my work. It wasn’t easy though but having the courage to finish this course as one of my promise to my late beloved parents that helped me to ace my academics. With that, there’s a lot of work with endless lectures, readings, essays, reports, and presentations.
So, I keep on pushing myself to soak in as much knowledge as possible, seizing as much information that thrown from my professors. Allow me to share some handy tips on pinning down crucial points before, during, and after the lectures. For this is one of my academic problems when I was in highschool that help me adjust in my college life.

In Conclusion

Though mastering the art of taking a lecture notes can take a bit of trial and error, one thing I’m certain is that taking notes is one of the advantage that can help you remember more especially when writing essays as you journey through your academic.
