The document discusses different note taking and outlining methods. It describes the Cornell note taking system which provides a systematic format for organizing notes in class. The outlining method uses indentation to organize major and minor points. Mapping creates a graphic presentation of lecture content. Charting sets up columns to categorize information. The sentence method writes each thought on a separate line. Outlining creates a blueprint to construct a unified essay, with types including topic, sentence, and mixed outlines.
