III. Read the following text and answer the questions below
One of the reasons you may have identified for underperforming is that you’re not taking
good enough notes. Hurriedly scrawled notes from class can be difficult to make sense of when
you come to revise from them, or even to write an essay based on them. It’s all to easy to
misunderstand your own notes and fail to get a strong enough grasp of the topic. It’s
imperative, therefore, that you produce good notes from each of your classes and from the
books you use – notes that you can read, that are useful, and that are logically organized. If you
make notes by hand- in class, for example – try to type them up at the end of the day, while
they’re still fresh in your mind.
