Chapter Six

Chapter six not only gave the basics of note taking, but provided useful information on a more in depth basis.  In the reading, ways on how notes should be taken were provided as well as different ways the information found can be saved.  Saving information benefits you and is found to be easier as your document is planned and and drafted.  Smartphones can be a great attribute when recording conversations you have with other sources.  You then have the ability to go back and listen as many times as you want.  A smart suggestion in the reading was to keep all your notes in an organized layout.  For example, you don't want to have your information all over the place having to flip from one thing to another when searching for the specific information needed.  It's helpful to have it all in a notebook or on your phone, etc.  You want to look for both the similarities in differences in your sources.  When looking through the disagreements, you'll then be able to decide which sources may provide support and which will best serve as an illustration in alternative approaches.  Reading this chapter has given me a better feel on how I will take notes throughout my paper.
