GIVE A MAN A FISH A STUDENT NOTES...
You know the saying - building lifelong skills helps someone out much more in the long-run than providing a temporary fix. Yet departments keep giving students fish. Our question is why?
#NoteTakingNotNotes
Teach your students to fish
The Fish?
Provided notes
By providing students with notes from a peer, we’re robbing them of the core benefits of independent note taking. Research has shown that taking notes significantly improves retention.*
By teaching students to take notes effectively, you’re giving them a skill that will reduce their dependence on others and improve their learning.
Reduce admin burden
Providing notes costs valuable time and energy
Develop student independence
Students receiving notes are dependent on someone else for their learning, undermining equity and creating compliance headaches
Lower costs
Arranging notes for eligible students is an expensive process, and bills can stack up pretty quick
Improve learning
The act of taking notes has been shown to improve learning by multiple studies
Join the movement
We’re getting the message about empowering students with independent note taking out through a series of free webinars, addressing common questions and problems with provided notes. Join us to get involved and have your voice heard!
