Plug-in notes and One plus three notes

Hi, all!
This week, I tried Plug-in Notes and One plus three notes on my history of arts and macroeconomics class. I chose these two in order to compare which one is better for me to get organized and do the quick review after class.
For one plus three notes, I changed a little in order to fit in this economics class, the professor presented this course really quick and he usually finish a chapter in two lectures, so we covered a lot information in this course and he does not give us handouts or anything to review so I need to make summary of book in order to review and I do not want to do it before the test because that book has more than 500 pages. His exam problems came from each chapter so I did not make notes by chapter, not by dates. He talks a lot beyond the book so you have to read the book before his lecture and remember the material in the book, if not, you will be lost in the lecture so I have to do the summary of book before the lecture anyway so I took notes of the book on the first page using black pen and then wrote lecture notes on the back of the page using blue pen. Here is what I did for the lecture part.


After the lecture, when I was reading the notes, I highlighted the terms I need to remember for this whole chapter and think about the relationships between different concepts. After that, I made a table and made a slightly different table from Dr. Blumin showed us in the class. I wrote the most important terms and relationship with graphs, on the bottom of the page, I wrote down several questions to anticipate the exam questions in this chapter.


For art history class, I took notes on the computer during class and because I am a visual learner, I plugged in the slides showing the artwork I need to recite and listed the points I have to remember for each one and changed the colors and size by the importance. You can see how different they are by following screen shots:





After done with notes, I create a table to quick review and anticipating questions from the material presented that day and then type down the answers before the next class in order to review them.
After using this two note-taking strategies, I found that both of them are great strategies which can help me and one plus three helps when you have a course which has a lot of terms, concepts and relationships you need to be clear about and Plug-in notes are really good for computer note takers and visual learners. Both of these two strategies are effective for me to review materials after class and participate more in the class.
