This activity supports students with note taking of academic journals and research articles. It helps students with first understanding what kind of information they need to take away from their independent reading and then take notes effectively so that all key information is in one place. The aim is for students to become effective and organised notetakers where they can: Identify key information from their independent reading and organise the extracted information systematically using an Excel database adapted to their needs. Clearly document and reference all sources/notes appropriately and accurately, consolidating essential details to ensure easy retrieval and academic integrity.
