Here is a sneak peek of one of the opening sections: Note Taking.

Keep Your Notes Simple

Try to boil down your thoughts into key words and phrases.
This will make your notes easier to revise and remember.
Shorter, more focused notes will help you to structure your ideas.

Know What You Want to Say

Although note taking will help you add nuance and direction to your essay, it’s best to go in with clear objectives.
Know what you’re aiming to get out of your notes, and be selective with what you highlight and jot down.
If it’s not going to help you with your specific task, don’t waste time noting it down.

Develop Your Notes

Over time, you’ll want your notes to gradually become more advanced up until the point where you’ll transform them into a detailed plan.
Spider diagrams are a good place to start. Collect your ideas on one page and show connections between ideas with lines and colour.
Then, flesh out these points into linear notes. Here you can organise your notes using headings and sub-headings, and underline what’s important.
After this, you will have the basis of a detailed plan, making which will be the next step!
