Note-Taking and Note-Making in Freshman Composition
By: Mark Farrington
Publication:
The Quarterly, Vol. 22, No. 1
Date: Winter 2000
Summary: Teaching writing in a college class linked to a psychology course, Farrington discovers that by requiring students to read the text before they attend the lecture he can convert them from "note-takers" to "note-makers."
