I think this is the same class for which I wrote this AAR: https://www.indianagunowners.com/fo...hindblueis-defensive-pistol-concepts-1-a.html
If so, it's worth the time. I may go back for the video breakdown.
Will we need to take notes or will there be pre-printed notes supplied by the instructor?
Note-taking allows people to outsource their memories to an external source (paper), as well as make content explicit for future
reference. Critically, learning can occur during both the production and review of notes
by allowing the learner to make connections between idea units and engage in deep
processing of course content (Bohay, Blakely, Tamplin, & Radvansky, 2011; Piolat,
Olive, & Kellogg, 2005). The act of note-taking also assists the learner in generating and
semantically processing information (essentially, helps the learner think about course
content in such a way to better understand it upon later review), in addition to facilitating
and strengthening the internal connections between ideas (Kiewra et al., 1991). Lastly –
and of particular importance to instructors – note-taking can result in broader learning
I encourage note taking.
Adult learning studies have generally shown we retain quite a bit more of what we write down, and understand it better upon review. As an example:
I can also speak from personal experience in that I've reviewed hand written notes from courses I've attended and had things written I forgot were covered...until I saw the notes. Then the lecture portion returned to my memory.
So, likely a longer answer that what you necessarily wanted, but I like to let people know the reason behind the "why" if I can.
I agree with this 100%. You get at least twice as much out of a class if you take good notes. You remember it better and can review it years down the road to refresh.
OMG... The irony that I feel.
I used to take notes, but I tend to get so involved in detailed, organized note taking that I miss the big picture. I prefer to listen, then swipe Jackson's notes afterward.
