Guidelines for Taking Notes during Group Discussion



Taking Notes

In order to get the most out of our discussions for later use and in order to take advantage of our numbers, the students will take turns taking notes during group and open discussions. In order to get the most out of the note-taking, the person who took the notes should email their notes to the instructor within six hours of the end of class: rtbarnha@ic.sunysb.edu

The Note Sheet should include a list of all of the hypotheses presented during the discussion, along with supporting evidence for each. For each hypothesis, the scribe should note the weaknesses that are brought up and the suggestions that are made to address the weaknesses.

Key Information to Include:

[Hypothesis Presented]
[Supporting Evidence]
[Weaknesses of Hypothesis]
[How to Address Weaknesses]

[Conclusions Reached]
[Any Questions that Arise]
[Especially, Questions about the Validity of Certain Conclusions]
[Questions Left Unanswered]
[Follow-up Assignment of Who Will Answer for Next Class]
