Lecture notes template

Writing down everything a lecturer says is tiring and hard to revise from. This lecture notes template asks you to catch the key ideas, park your questions in their own list and finish with a summary in your own words, which you'll be glad of at revision time.

What’s inside

Tips for using it

  1. Write the summary within a day of the lecture, while you still remember what the slides left out.
  2. Give each module its own folder, so every lecture for a course sits together.
  3. Mark anything likely to come up in the exam with a highlight colour, so it stands out when you revise.

Questions

What is a good way to take lecture notes?

Listen for the main ideas rather than copying every word, write questions down as they come, and summarise the lecture briefly afterwards. This template is built around those three habits.

Can I add photos of slides or the whiteboard?

Photos can sit right next to what you've written, each with its own caption.
