Use abbreviations to write faster when you are taking notes……

Yes specially if it is not on the board and the teacher expects you write down all that she is saying and after the discussion shewill make a habit of giving us a quiz on what she have discussed and if dont have any notes you are done for,plus throw in some explanation on what she said and make a report out of it is pretty hard.Hope you liked my response,have a nice day.

When I left school I went to college to further my business skills, I took typing and all courses like that. I wanted to learn shorthand but where I worked would not pay for it, my Mum had learnt shorthand when she was at school and still had her book which she gave to me. I tried my hardest to teach myself shorthand but it was really hard, in the end I made my own up! I was then able to take down my boss's letters really fast in my own shorthand and no one else could understand it but me!

Well, normally my teachers do not really talk too fast or give too much information at once, and it's best not to confuse myself with abbreviations. I think it helps to write incomplete sentences, and try to get the main ideas in.

yes I used to write my own abbreviations and it made things easier

Idea is good, thanks.

yes i do abbreviate my writings but its only me who can understand my writings. LOL!

yeh at time while noting down things or even writing replies here at mylot i tend to write wrong abbreviations. which i myslef fail to read it later when i get time or if i am going thru my own replied discussions.
i think one should take more time but write it correctly.or we should have a common list of abbreviations which should be followed by one n all.
after writing things in abbrevaiations i find it tuff now to write it in normal way of writing things..
