Note Taking vs. Note Making Explained

Note taking involves reproducing ideas from a speaker with short term utility, while note making involves writing in one's own words from printed materials with long term utility. When making notes, abbreviations and symbols can be used and words like prepositions, adjectives, adverbs, articles and verbs can be left out. Note making is a more complex skill than note taking as it requires careful reading, writing techniques, reducing text, organizing information, and ordering concepts.
