    Taking effective lecture notes is important for retaining information. Notes should be taken during the lecture to actively engage with the material. The note-taking process involves preparing before the lecture, writing down key points and questions during, and reviewing notes after. Notes act as a memory aid since without active learning most information is forgotten within weeks. Different note styles like linear or mind maps can be used depending on the individual's learning preference. Reviewing notes after ensures understanding and allows the information to be organized for future use.
