We are talking about Plato’s Republic<\/em> this week and next in Arts One<\/a>, and over the summer I started getting interested in doing sketchnotes–basically, trying to take notes with both images and words.<\/p>\n

I have found this a really useful method for forcing myself to take in information and make it my own, to condense ideas down to what I think is most important, and to put that into my own “words,” so to speak. I think it helps me remember things better than just copying down as many words from a lecture or presentation as I can by typing on a keyboard (what I would otherwise be doing).<\/p>\n
