morningcoffee Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 What resources would I use for this? I guess students have to take notes from the BJU classes on dvd/ online but is there anything else? Maybe we should do some dictation so she gets used to paying attention to the aural (or oral?) delivery of information? She is only 11 so I am thinking a bit ahead... btw I would prefer not to use our church sermons for this purpose. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChicoryChick Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 I think that SWB's Completer Writer series is perfect for this. In WWE 1-4 they are learning dictation, narration (and copywork). This is training them to listen and write. WWs 1 has them summarizing and outlining. All the skills necessary for note taking. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regentrude Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 You could use Teaching Company lectures for that purpose, but they are not ideal since the teacher does not write a board, just talks. My DD learned to take notes from lectures when she attended her first college class as a dually enrolled student. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My DD learned to take notes from lectures when she attended her first college class as a dually enrolled student. Thanks - that's interesting. I will check out the Teaching Company lectures. I just wonder whether my dc would be at a disadvantage because the other students would have had years of note taking practice by the time they get to college at 18. We don't have the dual enrolment option but I can see how that would be a great stepping stone. Actually, when I say the other (non homeschooled) students would have had years of practice taking notes I am really just going from memory of what I did at school! Maybe it's not really an issue?

texasmama Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 IME, many college professors put up Power Point slides during lectures and may email (or make available via Blackboard) a copy of the slides to students prior to class so they can print them out and take notes. Profs usually give a review sheet for tests, as well. I don't think that in these days of technology that note-taking is quite so crucial as it has been in the past. This is from my perspective of having been an adjunct professor teaching non-STEM classes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texasmama Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Good point. A lot has changed since I went to school! It certainly has! At any rate, I don't think note-taking has a very steep learning curve for a bright kid who is well-prepared for college in other ways. Just my take on it.

This is from my perspective of having been an adjunct professor teaching non-STEM classes. From my perspective as a physics instructor: yes, there are some courses that make Powerpoints available, but there are also plenty of courses where the professor writes on the blackboard and the student needs to take notes. For math and physics, working out the solution in real time in front of the students while narrating the steps is actually far superior to narrating a solution that is pre-printed on slides; it is processed differently. For example, if the student develops the diagram along with the professor, doing the first steps first and the later steps later, this reinforces the procedure to a degree that printed lecture notes won't. Beyond the intro courses for the non-majors, almost all courses in our department involve profs writing on blackboards. But note taking in a college class is not really difficult, since the professor would write the most important things on the board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
