As students, there are many different assignments and quizzes that we are required to complete to be deemed successful. In many ways, taking notes can be extremely helpful in completing these assignments, especially those that require memorization or organizing information from various different sources. There are many different benefits to note taking in different scenarios, including a deeper understanding of concepts being presented, and an enhanced memory retention for necessary facts.  

In addition to benefits in active learning, note-taking can also help you organize information when writing an essay or formulating a presentation. The ability to compare information and create logical relationships between facts can help you structure your assignments more effectively.
