== USS Lectures - effective note-taking ==

Public Online Lectures:
I think the best thing to research about what do you want is the Internet, it's simply the global search, it's easy to find anything, in literature and history, medicine, philosophy and science, various areas and so on And right now with the high technology that provides wide range of the internet accessibility everyone can use the internet, as long as he/she has internet access and computer or smartphone, As well as the internet support the self-learners.

Communications Styles:
Assertion is a style of communication.

We all have learned different styles of communication as we came from different background and have diverse life styles, cultures. So often our environment effect us and effect our behaviors as well as it demonstrates challenges in our personal life. Therefore we should learn to be more flexible and teachable as well as that will enable us to go forward for better life and future, education.

Assertion: "standing up for personal rights and human rights and expressing thoughts, feelings and beliefs in direct, honest, and appropriate ways that do not violate another person's rights". (Defined by a British dictionary) The aim of assertion is communication; with mutual respect,

One of the most challenges thing is to accept the others as they are, it doesn't matter which background or religious, color. To simply show them that you care and treat them as human being. Today I want to tell you that sometimes our act define us as well, the Humanitarian ethics moral does matter and make huge difference, as we say: action speaks louder than words.

TAKING LECTURE NOTES:
I. There are many reasons for taking lecture notes and here below are some few of them:

A. Taking notes for yourself sometimes force you to listen carefully as well as it gives you a better understanding. B. When you review the lectures, the notes provides a gauge to what the most important things in the text. C. Personal notes usually easier to remember than the text itself. D. Some students write down the important points which helps them to remember the text before even they study it deeply

NOTE MAKING:
One of the most important study skills is to learn to write down notes which will effectively help you to improve your study and work, that will enable you to remember easily the information.

The students sometimes deceive themselves by wrongly thinking that they understand everything taught in the class therefore they won't forget it, this is deadly wrong, because it's just has a temporarily memory, so I encourage you to write down your notes.

As you write down your notes, you will develop the skill of selecting the important points and discarding unimportant information.

The secret of developing that skill is the practice. You should check your results constantly. Strive to improve your skills.

Notes will enable you to keep the important facts and data as well as to develop an accurate means of arranging necessary information.

Here are some hints on note making.
Write down the main points, concentrate on the major essential fundamentation topics, be alert and attentive to the words between the lines.

2- Notes should consist of key words or very short sentences.

3- Take notes accurately: You should use your own words in taking the notes with considering not to change the meaning, try to quote correctly directly from the author.
