Since I have started this year’s studies lectures have been a important part in helping me develop understanding of certain topics. There are many ways to approach a lecture, some people prefer not going to lectures and just using listen again while others prefer going to lectures and taking notes however in my opinion it is best to go to lectures because when you are taught face to face it is much easier to understand and also you can compare your notes with friends in case you missed out something, also you can ask the lecturer questions at the end of the lecture.

Note taking is important because the lecture notes might not have some points which the lecturer might explain so this way the person can write down all the important parts and the best way to do this for me is to use bullet points as it helps you to find information you need quicker.

All the lectures I have attended till now have been very helpful not only because the lecture slides are informative but also the lecturer’s way of explaining. If I sum up my all this, i would say it is best to attend lectures.

The subject of this our third (and last) blog is Lecture Technique. What we would like you to think and write about is how one can best approach lectures. Is it vital to attend or do you think you can use friend's notes, get Powerpoint slides or use Listen Again? Also, how best to take notes? Do other styles rather than linear note taking work for you? What are your observations of the lectures you have attended so far? Should one summarise or re-write notes or is this a waste of time? Does just revising your notes through reading them again suffice?  

As always please refrain from insulting or offensive language. I will have to remove it and it may constitute an academic offence.
