挑战克服HSC研究写作时注意s

A lot of the time, when students write up their study notes, they simply just jot down point after point while following the syllabus outline.

这是一种很好的方法,它有助于确保您获得每个相关主题所需的所有内容,但是有一些挑战。

挑战#1:您怎么知道笔记是否有效?

Let’s say that you’ve been building up your study notes over the course of a term.

您已经一遍又一遍地重新编写并修改笔记,但是当您完成考试并取回结果时,“Oh no my notes suck. how did I not know that? How did I miss that point?”

The problem with this method of study is that您只能弄清楚您的笔记在实际参加考试后是否有效。

显然,这是最糟糕的时间,发现您的笔记并不完全削减。

Challenge #2: Application

您可以花费大量时间记住和修改HSC学习笔记。但是,当您参加考试时,提出的问题可能与您的准备工作大不相同。

As a result, you may struggle to apply the notes that you have written up to the questions presented.

这可能会导致一些问题关键技能you need to acquire when taking your notes is the ability to apply them into solutions and responses.

But how do we combat these challenges?We’ll take you through the key thing you need to do when writing your notes once we’ve gone through some logistics.

Step 1: Plan Ahead

首先,您需要弄清楚如何格式化学习笔记。不同的样式适合不同的人,因此请确保您为您选择正确的格式!

有些人更喜欢将笔记组织到每周的修订中,另一些人则根据课程提纲的积分在各节中写作。通常最好group information based on central topics, concepts or themes— splitting English notes up into prescribed and related texts is one example!

To write or type notes?

One of the most common questions we start with is “Do I write or type my study notes?”.

Deciding whether to take your notes traditionally or go the more digital route can be tricky, as typing notes often seems easier, but writing them by hand feels more like ‘study’.

通常,将两者混合在一起是一个好主意 - 如果您输入笔记,做手写的摘要,反之亦然。这是两者的快速优点和缺点!

但是请记住,HSC考试是手写的(至少暂时是……),因此您要确保习惯于手写!

Pros Cons
Handwritten Notes
  • Muscle memory- your hand gets into the habit of writing certain words and makes it easier for you to recall them

  • Actual muscles- manually writing notes helps strengthen your hand and wrist , which will come in handy during written exams

  • 保留记忆- 研究表明,您更有可能记住您手工编写的信息

  • Creativity- having free reign of the page gives you the ability to be way more creative with your notes (think mindmaps and diagrams)
  • Formatting- sometimes you start writing notes and don't realise until half way through that you've set it out really weird

  • Undo- sadly, once you make a mistake your only hope is liquid paper, which can make for messy notes

  • 单复制- written notes can't really be duplicated, so if you lose these you'll have to start all over again
  • Typed Notes
  • Editing- 文字处理器使您可以轻松地编辑您的笔记,或者一次结束时立即进行编辑

  • Links- 拥有数字笔记意味着您可以在其中收集尽可能多的链接和资源,这对于收集额外的资源非常有用

  • 副本- 数字笔记意味着您可以制作任意数量的副本并将其下载到其他设备上,因此您始终将笔记提供方便

  • 应用- there are a whole bunch of different note-taking apps out there to help boost your study skills
  • 解释清楚- technically it's a con, as relying on it can lead to silly spelling errors in your written work

  • RSI- 长时间打字并查看笔记本电脑屏幕会严重劳累您的手腕,颈部,背部和眼睛


  • 布局

    After the digital vs. handwritten question comes the issue of layout.

    For general note-taking, there are a lot of ways to go about it — and a lot of different study styles to try out!

    Check out ourarticle on study styles找出您应该使用的学习风格!

    您可以将标题列表的关键概念和与它们有关的信息,思维映射,某些主题与所研究的主题如何相关,创建信息表或绘制图表以获取更多交互式信息 - 这实际上取决于您的个人喜好!

    But here are three ideas to get you started!

    #1:完整句子段落

    “After it is revealed that Mr Darcy was the reason for Jane Bennet’s separation from Mr Bingley, Elizabeth Bennet is enraged, as she had been ‘delighted at the prospect of their relationship’. When she confronts Darcy her language is highly emotive and she often employs hyperbole such as ‘ruining, perhaps forever, the happiness of a most beloved sister!’, though she remains otherwise literal.这与达西(Darcy)的言语模式形成鲜明对比,因为他用比喻语言回答,例如隐喻“她的心不太可能很容易触摸”。这种对比有助于强调他们的矛盾意见。”

    使用完整的句子段落是对英语和人文科学等主题的好技术,您知道您将不得不写很多论文!

    它可以帮助您养成建造完整,精致的句子的习惯,但是它确实比大多数其他方法更耗时。一眼也很难消化。

    #2: Dot Points

    • 达西先生是宾利先生离开简的原因
    • 伊丽莎白很生气,她曾经‘delighted at the prospect of their relationship’(情感)
    • Confronts him; he’s‘毁了,也许永远是一个最挚爱的姐姐的幸福!”(hyperbole)
    • Darcy is figurative;“她的心不太可能很容易触摸”(metaphor)
    • 他们的语音对比=相互冲突的意见

    点点很棒quick and easy note taking, as they allow you to pull out key ideas and information and reproduce them in an easy-to-read format.

    The only problem with dot points is that you have to find a balance — too little information in each point can leave you with gaps in your knowledge, but too much defeats the whole purpose of using dot-points!

    #3:思维地图

    HSC研究笔记 - 心理地图

    思维地图非常适合弄清楚不同的想法和信息如何联系以及如何将它们联系在一起,也是为您的学习添加视觉学习的真正好方法。

    但是,他们只能持有如此多的信息而不会变得无效的文本泡沫!上面是使用bubbl.uswhich is a great online tool!

    Dot points tend to be most popular, but some people prefer colour-coded paragraphs, mind maps, fact sheets or diagrams.

    对于某些主题或主题,您甚至可以遵循专门的模式,例如为英语文本编写注释时。

    Try formatting English notes like this for easy reading:

    技术:repetition (“I will”)

    Example:“……我会让她知道……或者我再也见不到她了。”

    Effect:强调角色在他们看来的信念以及个人投资

    弄清楚可以将其纳入笔记中的哪些学习风格也是一个好主意,以使其更有效学习。

    步骤2:制定系统

    It’s important to consider how much you plan to be writing and how much time you’ll need to allocate for it.

    For example, below is the syllabus for 2/3 unit maths. By splitting the syllabus into sets of two dot points per week, you can easily cover all the content in one 9-week term!

    HSC研究笔记 - 系统

    Of course, you have to factor in other subjects as well, and different course loads and content styles.

    A good rule of thumb is to:

    • Write weekly study notes for the very content-heavy subjects(Modern History, Economics, Legal Studies etc.)
    • 为他人编写主题笔记(多媒体,视觉艺术,数学等)

    Don’t be afraid to write notes more frequently for subjects or topics you find trickier!

    编写一个时间表,以计划如何解决每个主题的教学大纲积分,对于确定时间管理非常有用。

    Example Schedule

    • 4pm家 - 休息
    • 下午4:15Bullet notes – Germany syllabus points 2a + 2b (Nazi party + Hitler)
    • 5:00pmBREAK
    • 5:05pm5x practice questions on Nazi policy (source from past HSC or trials papers)
    • 下午5:30BREAK
    • 5:35pmBullet notes – Germany Syllabus point 2c (Nazi power)
    • 下午6:10BREAK
    • 下午6:153x practice questions on Hitler (source from past HSC or trials papers)
    • 下午6点30分Syllabus point done! Good work!!

    该时间表只是表明在一个勤奋的下午涵盖教学大纲积分是多么容易,并且几乎可以应用于每个主题。

    By organising your work this way it’s很多easier to figure out what you want to get done and how to do it,and giving yourself a set time plan helps beat procrastination.

    Developing a visual system is also a good way to incorporate visual learning.

    例如,这可以像为每个主题分配颜色一样简单。绿色文件夹,邮寄笔记和科学笔记的荧光笔,粉红色的英语等等。

    This helps create visual associations within your study and allows you to emphasise key ideas or information for easy reading.

    Step 3: Write!

    现在,我们已经仔细研究了如何编写HSC学习笔记,我们将引导您解决如何克服上面提到的挑战。

    首先,这似乎很明显,但是仅仅弄清楚某些东西是养成积极学习习惯的最佳方法。

    It’s always good to try to stick to your plans and write as much as you can,but also remember thatany notes are better than none!If this means that you only write one page for one week, but three pages the next week, that’s okay!

    重要的是关闭信息并了解您要记住的内容。

    格式化是一件大事,因为这是使您的笔记无法成为文本墙壁一页的内容,而无需定义它们!

    遵循的最佳格式样式是将教学大纲点分解为更易于管理的标题和子标题。

    For example…

    Here’s one syllabus point from the Modern History topic on Germany 1919-1939.

    屏幕截图2015-09-21,下午1.03.37

    At first glance you’d think it’s one heading with four subheadings, but it can actually be broken into even smaller, more manageable pieces!

    HSC Study Notes - Example

    Here I’ve underlined the key themes of each point – some only feature one, but the first two have multiple ideas to explore! It looks like more work, but in fact we’ve just split up the amount of content into smaller, more manageable pieces.

    From here, it’s easy to figure out your headings and subheadings as follows;

    魏玛共和国

    • Emergence of the Democratic Republic
    • Impact of the Treaty of Versailles
    • Political issues to 1929
    • Economic issues to 1929
    • Social issues to 1929
    • Collapse of the Weimar Republic
    • Impact of the Great Depression

    Once you have your headings and subheadings sorted, you’re going to need information to write about!

    最好的选择是您总是上课和教科书,因为这是您的老师之所以选择的东西,是因为他们准确地告诉您您需要知道的内容!

    另外,大多数教科书的标题和主题相当相似,因此找到所需的信息的10倍。

    If you do need to venture online to find extra information, make sure you’re smart about it.

    Wikipedia is fine for a quick look at a topic, butavoid it as much as you can- 那里有很多更好,更可靠的资源。

    In fact, a whole lot of sources can be found in the任何给定的Wikipedia页面的“参考”和“外部链接”部分,因此,如果您亏损,那是一个不错的起点。

    HSC研究笔记 - 参考

    现在,您已经有了您的信息了,该根据样式进行写作,我们在步骤1中回顾了回头!

    Remember that writing isn’t the only way to take notes and try to mix it up with diagrams, drawings, graphs and charts to keep your notes visual and make it easier to stay motivated to study.

    他们需要花一些时间才真正开始看起来像“适当”的学习笔记,但是as you build up your information you’ll start to realise just how much this planning has paid off.

    How often should you write your HSC study notes?

    我建议在课堂上做笔记,然后在家中添加这些笔记,如果您没有完成或有更多信息要添加。

    Some people prefer to update their notes at the end of every week or even every fortnight! However, I prefer to just spend 15 minutes every night getting my notes in order so that there’s not a whole stack to do over the weekend.

    You might like to separate your class notes from your home notes if that works for you. Although, I like to keep them all in one document so that they don’t disappear or get lost!

    Obviously, the amount of notes you take for each subject will differ. For example, you’ll have less notes for Maths compared to Modern History, so you may find that you need to update your notes for content-heavy subjects more frequently.

    您如何知道您的笔记是否有效?如何应用它们?

    Every single time you write your notes for a syllabus point,find or make up a question relevant to that particular HSC dot point and include it at the end of your notes.

    Then,use your notes to write an answer to that question.

    It’s that simple! But how does this technique benefit you?

    Benefit #1

    Firstly, it lets you know that your notes are good —如果您无法回答提供的问题,您将停下来思考:“好我的笔记不合格,我能change to make them better.”

    This simple trick will help you get the feedback you need on your notes before the exam, not after. This gives you the time you need to IMPROVE your results and EXCEL.

    Benefit #2

    Another reason why this tip is really critical is that it’s going to help you learn to apply the content you have in your notes to an actual question within your exam.

    在整个学期中,您在笔记中仔细一点问题时,您将完成各种相关的实践问题。

    结果,当您参加考试时,您已经完成了一堆过去的论文,而不必打印出一篇文章。

    在此过程中,您正在建立关键的考试技术APPLICATION甚至没有意识到它。

    步骤4:存储您的HSC学习笔记

    Finally there’s the question of what to do with your notes when you’re not studying them!

    许多人忘记了这一点,最终将所有笔记倒在抽签或架子上,导致下次将他们拉出来时发生了不当的主题。

    Notebooks (handwritten notes only)

    Make things fun by going to Typo or Kmart and buying a whole bunch of cheap, colourful notebooks to write all your study notes in.

    These are usually lightweight, have a funky design on the cover and some have spiral binds, so you can pull out notes easily when you need them!

    通过使用书籍,您可以从一开始就将所有笔记写在一个地方,然后将其存储就像在不使用时将书插入书架上一样容易。

    塑料文件夹(手写和数字笔记)

    它们比纸板或马尼拉文件夹贵一些,但是塑料文件夹的好处是,它们更耐用,通常具有弹性带或魔术贴选项卡来固定它们。

    您不想知道我在HSC期间看到人们的笔记从松散的文件夹中掉下来了几次!

    Folders let you make notes digitally or by hand, then print/collect them and keep them all in one place. The only downside is that (unless you’re super organised) they can sometimes get a bit mixed up.

    External Hard Drive (digital notes only)

    如此多的人以数字方式认为自己免受放错床单或丢失书籍的安全性,但丢失数字文件同样容易!

    By backing up all of your notes onto an external hard drive at least once a week, you can make sure that you never lose more than a few days work.

    If you’re not keen on buying an external hard drive you can also use online storage, such asGoogle Drive- 只需记住,您只要您想访问它们,就需要Wi-Fi!

    You’re Ready to Go!

    By following these simple steps it’s easy to establish the basis for effective, efficient study note habits.

    将几种不同的研究风格纳入您的笔记中,可以最大程度地发挥您的学习潜力,并总结以进一步保留记忆。

    坚持您的日程安排,请记住,任何笔记总比没有笔记都要好!
