Daniel Leong: Notes Reflection
As a result of being a quick thinker, a visual learner, and generally forgetful person, I much prefer electronic note taking when watching films, but find colored pens to be invaluable when analyzing text. I also find it beneficial to assume that everything done in a film or text is entirely intentional and, as though…

Kaitlin Osterlund: Notes Reflection
With a play-text, I find that I am much more active in my inquiry and annotation than for a film. I also find that annotation for a play-text is more of a physical process for remembering and recalling information. I like to underline and circle lots of phrases and words when I am reading in…

Samuel Martyn: Notes Reflection
My notes are awful. They are sparse and happen relatively infrequently. Particularly for reading a play or watching film. They are nondescript for the most part. If anyone aside from me was to look at my notes, they would not gain much, if anything at all. Most of my annotation when it comes to going…

Mirabelle Harris-Eze: Notes Reflection
“We all do ‘do, re, mi,’ but you have got to find the other notes yourself.” ~ Louis Armstrong Introduction While most notes include summaries and interpretation of data, the way these occur on the page differ from person to person. My marketing textbook describes analysis as the conversion of data into insight, and this analysis…

Adetola Adedipe: Notes Reflection
When one says “Shakespeare” things that go through the mind include: sophistication and difficulty. Like anything, practice makes perfect and reading play-text is no different. If one annotates enough it almost becomes second nature. At first, reading Shakespeare text was challenging. However, doing a Shakespeare play every year in high school helped a lot with…

Marisol Calzada: Notes Reflection
Note taking for me has always been fairly difficult. In grade school I always struggled with finding a note taking style that worked for me; I remember using a different style of note taking every month along with different pens, highlighters, tabs, etc. Nothing seemed to work until I got into university. University courses made…

Matthew Moghadam: Notes Reflection
The annotation process of film can be quite a drab and tiresome predicament for some. While this process is advantageous to place an emphasis on analysis rather than mere observation of a work, it can still be dull and monotonous. Nevertheless, often it is also a necessity to uncover underlying meanings, unique…

Reilly Kruger: Notes Reflection
The transformations that I have made in my annotation practices have changed drastically since I’ve been in university. Note taking in university involves neat and tidy writing that is 100% legible, the notes must also be relevant and concise. On the contrary, my note taking practices while in high school were illiterate scribbles…

Notes Reflection
I am the first to admit that my annotation skills need some work. I tend to write very little when I annotate, and when I am annotating non-fiction or critical text I often rely on highlighters to indicate what I think is important rather than elaborate on what I think makes that particular passage important.…
