IAS Papers : Method of Making Notes
There are different methods of
making notes and one should decide which method suits
you the best. There are two types of making notes, one is the LINEAR NOTES and
the other PATTERN NOTES.
Linear Notes
Let us start with Linear
notes first, it is a method in which you condense the material you have read
using headings and sub headings and jotting down the most important points.
This method works best when making notes from a book where the material is
already properly organised. But one disadvantage of this method is that you
end up copying a lot of material from the book which defeats the very purpose
of condensing.
The right way to use this method is to use loose sheets of paper instead of an exercise
book since it is easier to keep adding information. It is a good idea to leave
space on each sheet of paper for additional information. Another way to make
your notes more interesting is to use colors, block letters, making boxes and
highlighting as and when necessary. All this will immediately draw our
attention to the actual contents of our notes and make it more clear and
comprehensible.
Pattern Notes
We now come to Pattern
Notes. For this we have to begin the topic at the centre of the page. Each
line radiating from it represents a branch of the main idea. Each point is
written as briefly as possible using a key word or a phrase. It is a better
method to adopt because it is more flexible than making Linear notes. One can
add extra information to it at any point without any problem. Second advantage
is that we can see the whole pattern at one go without actually turning the
pages. Thirdly we can indicate the links between different topics more easily
than we can do in a linear method. Another advantage of pattern notes is that
it is exceptionally useful when making notes from memory for revision as you
keep jotting down points as and when they occur to you. This makes it easier
to revise for exams and writing out essays
as only brief key words are used. Lastly, it is easier to remember as notes is
made in a shape format.
