Sentence method

Need help organizing and remembering your notes?

Consider the sentence method — it helps structure your notes and keeps you engaged, making it easier to understand and remember the material. It’s also simple to review later on.

Here’s how: When you’re listening to a lecture or doing research, write down each new idea or topic as a sentence on a new line. Our numbered template makes it easy to fill out the page as you go. Then, review your notes to find the main points of the material you've covered.

If you’re using the sentence method while listening to a lecture, use abbreviations to keep up with the speaker.
