How to take notes when reading a literature, and how to take notes when reading English literature?

The following is a summary of how to take notes from a piece of literature.

1 Confirm which type of concept is the focus of the note.

Second, try to make a brief list of the items you are expected to read. These subheadings help readers stay out of focus and are also useful notes tags.

Again, choose an entry point of interest, and it is advisable to start from the perspective of the known controversial space. Next, start writing your own research questions. The question should have two parts: inductive, deductive and data collection.

At this point, you can even draw up a preliminary solution as a tentative experimental hypothesis.

Then, you can start looking for suitable reading materials, such as what known facts and theories can help you research the problem, and what other people's opinions and arguments can help determine whether the results are appropriate.

2 Avoid copying too much.

Notes should only include concepts that are relevant to the topic of the study, summarizing (not transcribing) the narrative, and rewriting other people's statements is a waste of time.

Avoid over-reliance on accent markers such as underlining. Choose the most important concepts as tags or subheadings, and explain the rest in your own words, or write explanatory notes in your own words on the edges (or using self-pasting).

Precise words should only be written down in full if the concept has been designed to be easy to remember and legible; If this is the case, it should also be formally cited in **.

3. Effectively categorize and label notes.

Develop the habit of arranging materials in the order in which they are arranged, saving time in reorganizing entries when synthesizing various materials in the future. Another advantage of arranging notes by author's name and number of pages is that when writing**, if you need to indicate references, you only need to add the publication information.

Try to keep the entries on your notebook separate and independent as much as possible. This keeps your notes out of focus and makes it easier to reassemble them later. It was a rewarding experience to completely break up the notes and reconnect them with your own expression.

Leave blank spaces between entries in your notes for later annotations. When re-reading the notes, add your own questions, responses, and cross-references to the content. The content of these comments can form a prototype of the first draft.

4 When reading, avoid thinking about taking notes.

Note-taking can easily become a mechanical habit, copying words but doing little to strengthen the content of the memory. So, try to break the text you read into segments, close the book after each paragraph, try to recall the content, and write a summary. In this way, the content absorbed by reading is enhanced by recalling the action.

This has another advantage: when you are ready to write a summary, you will find that you will be more efficient at reading, more analytical, and more sensitive to the so-called important points. Give it a try and you'll find out.

The bibliographic notes are written as follows:

1. Prepare a special notebook for literature reading notes.

2. Record the basic information of the literature, such as the title of the literature, the author of the literature, and the time of the literature. The basic information of the literature can be easily searched and found in the original text. This is very important! Some people just forget to record the basic information, resulting in the end they cannot find the original document.

3. Read the literature, record what the literature has studied, what is the research background, what are the research methods and conclusions, what are the innovations in the research, and what are the shortcomings in the research? If you can't summarize it in your own language, you can refine the key information and shorten the large language.

4. Record your own thoughts, when we look at the literature, we will have some ideas more or less, no matter what kind of ideas, we must record them directly. For example, there are some things in the literature that you don't understand, you find the shortcomings of ** in reading, and you have ideas for improvement, or what point you appreciate very much about this article, and which part of the article may be helpful to your research......These can be written down.

5. Write keywords, the whole article is respectful and you have read it and have a certain understanding of the literature, then you can recall what the article mainly elaborates on at this time, and summarize it with two or three keywords.

After reading the entire article, you have a better understanding of **, and you can summarize the keywords of this article yourself. The keywords that you summarize after reading the article will help you to classify the literature notes later.

6. After taking notes, we must summarize and sort out, we must have a lot of notes to make when reading the literature, after reading, we must sort out these notes and label them well, so as to facilitate the comparison of literature views and clarify ideas.

Well, the question makes a lot of sense. The most basic premise of reading English literature is to read English as fast as possible, and at the same time think about induction. Because after all, I am not my native Chinese, so this is very important, otherwise I will basically forget the front after reading a paragraph.

However, you should not only understand the content, but also understand the structure, because the structure can help you better sort out your thinking, understand the logic of foreigners, and then truly understand the content of the literature. While clarifying the logical relationships, it can also help you deepen your memory, because it is not just about translation, but about clarifying the relationship between the front and back, so the derivation is not a confusing process.

Difference Between Literature Notes and Reading Notes.

1.Size of the article.

Books are generally long and sprinkled, compared to academic journals, which have strict limits on the length of articles, and are generally short and concise. Correspondingly, when it comes to reading notes, there should be a distinction between the two.

For a single article, the reading notes should be concise and to the point, and the length of the notes should be controlled. Grasp the principles of speed reading and shorthand in literature reading.

2.Content depth.

3.System strength.

Although the literature is short and concise, each literature is not isolated, and there are references in the early stage and experiments in the later stage. Horizontally, there are relevant literature published in the same field in the same period at home and abroad.

Literature notes in three steps.

When making a word version of the note, you should first mark the index of the literature for future reference.

Important content can be translated into Chinese, making it easier to summarize and organize.

Hello.

1. Core journals in this field.

2. Literature of experts in the field or major research groups.

3. Articles with high citations.

4. Literature to read when writing. (Similar to one's own direction, its reference and its quotation).

3. Effective literature retrieval.

Fourth, start with a review.

The review helps to understand the topic, broaden the horizon, and know what has been done in the field, what you need to do, and what problems remain to be solved.

A domestic literature review is a quick entry point to understand a field. Then read foreign literature to get twice the result with half the effort.

5. Read the literature.

1. Pay attention to the abstract, which is the window and key information of the full text. Most articles are based on abstracts, and a few are on full text.

2. Read through the whole text, strive to understand each sentence, take the sentence as a unit, and do not check the new words for the first time (but the last one).

3. Summarize and summarize long articles, and mark each paragraph with a phrase and a title.

4. Establish the sentence structure and grasp the topic. Foreign literature attaches great importance to logic and reasoning, and grasping the topic is conducive to skipping useless information and saving time.

5. Increase the amount of reading, the process of quantitative change to qualitative change.

6. Improve reading efficiency.

1. Concentrate on reading literature. It saves time and creates an overall impression.

2. Keep records and markups. Avoid repetition and waste of time.

Therefore, how to effectively grasp the central meaning and support the argument is the key, if you read the conversation word by word, it takes a lot of time. It is advisable to take notes by hand. In response to the obsessive-compulsive disorder you mentioned, this is a very normal phenomenon, at the beginning you should take some time to take more notes, find out your own note-taking habits, and summarize your own note-taking system.

Although the Cornell note-taking method is widely recommended by American university professors, there is still a run-in period for actual operation.

Second, be sure to be fast. Quickly find the center and write it in a notebook immediately, then when you write your own article, it is equivalent to a material book. I am a student studying European and American history and literature.

Every week in American history alone, I have to read more than 200 pages of Old English and write 4-5 essays of more than 800 wordsThere are also additional assignments and mock questions. Not to mention literature, in addition to reading **, you have to read literary reviews to read poetry.

The teacher's class is a seminar-style class, and the students are well prepared before the class, and it is almost impossible to see them taking notes in class. The main thing in class is to express one's own opinion and listen to the opinions of others. So when speaking, looking at your notes is to quickly see the main point.
