Understanding Note-Taking: PowerPoint vs. Active Engagement

In this exploration of note-taking, Dr. Stephen A. Ogden contrasts the visual nature of PowerPoint presentations with the auditory experience of lectures. He highlights the risks of passive note-taking, which often involves mere hearing and copying, leading to a decline in critical listening skills. Effective note-taking, he argues, requires active engagement—recognizing key ideas, organizing thoughts, and observing non-verbal cues to deepen understanding. This approach transforms note-taking into a dynamic interaction rather than a simple recording task.
