Writing Skills

Note Taking

​

• Note key words or themes

• Use highlighters (or digital equivalents) to help locate useful information later

​

Reflections
 

• Reflections are used in some courses to help students think about the learning process and are typically more casually written, including personal feelings and reflections

• Unit directions will typically provide specific advice and guidance

 

Case Studies

​

• Take note of the format and topics/headings, using these as actual headings, or writing guides, to ensure you cover topics and responses in a structured way

• Using headings, or temporary writing guides, can help maintain focus, avoid repetition and save time
