The Path I walked finished Dr. Jayasree Krishnankutty Cannot retrace my steps Department of Agricultural Extension or re walk it again You touch me many times Then you don’t It doesn’t matter Your touch is inside me Always is A song, a story, a click Moments, hours, days A gaze, a grimace, few tears A pout, a shout and shudder All of them Inside me More inside me Than you need to know I see the blue waves The white snowy clouds That are not mine, but yours But the bend stays inside us Amidst green trees Above the long grey stretch Real, solid and never to fade. 52 College of Horticulture

Dr. C. George Thomas Former Associate Dean Note taking, note making, and the issue of forgetting A Chinese proverb says, “Tell me, I’ll forget. Show me, not tryto retain it.Ebbinghaus, a German psychologist, I’ll remember. Involve me, I’ll understand”. To put it conducteda series of experimentsfrom 1880 to 1885 differently, hearing is forgetting, seeing is believing, and and came out with a typical “for getting curve”, which doing is learning! People often remember 90 percent of showed that humans tend to lose about 40 percent of what they do, 75 percent of what they see, and 20 percent the information after just 20 minutes! After an hour, the of what they hear (Ellis, 2013).Although the information loss would be 55 percent and by the end of the day, you read from textbooks is also forgotten quickly, the 67 percent would be lost in memory! Over time, the rate of forgetting for things you hear from lectures retained information would fade more and more, and occurs even faster!In fact, this has to do something with after a month, a person would be able to remember the way the short-term or working memory of our brain around 20 percent only.However, if we consciously used is designed. What we call ‘forgetting’is the brain’s built- the information at various intervals, their long-term in mechanism to ensure that it is not overburdened with retention would be increased, andthe shape of the curve useless knowledge! The brain wants to remember only would be different. useful information, and it considers an idea useful in Although certain people may remember better than the long term only. Therefore, if a piece information is others, the general trend for how long we retain not used regularly, it may be forgotten easily. However, information is the same.The level at which we retain repetition or frequent use ensure that something is information depends on the strength of our memory, remembered forever. and the amount of time passed since learning. The more The famous “forgetting curve” of Hermann Ebbinghaus frequently one repeat something, the more likely it is to shows how information is lost over time when you do stick. Each recall helps to “x learning more“ rmly in the College of Horticulture 63

Take with you an organized recall. Note taking and note making and reviewing at notebook or enough sheets of paper, which can be filed regular intervals increase retention, but over time, less neatly. Sit near or at the front of the classroom so that frequent review is needed. you can engage with the teacher and ask questions Note taking from lectures more easily. For this purpose, you have to come to the Note taking is the process of recording information class early and occupy the coveted seat much before the when somebody is speaking.

It can be a challenge, if the content of the lecture Look at your course-outline to see what would be the topic is predominantly factual, and students want to record all of the lecture so that you could anticipate the discussion the facts but the lecturer is going fast. Those who take points and mentally prepare for it. In certain classes, the notes will be under severe time pressure, and therefore, textbook would be the primary source of information, different note taking styles and techniques have evolved with the result that the class time is exclusively used to make the best use of time.

Every teacher has a lecturing style, and therefore, lecture notes or lecture slides, but you still need to take you find out a style of note taking that will be effective down notes! Sometimes, the teacher would offer more for each particular course. Courses that are heavily explanation and examples than that appear on the slides. based on the textbook may require you to focus on the In most lectures, teachers may also share information main ideas in class while filling in the details afterwards not readily available in textbooks.

In such helps you to link classroom learning to textbook readings lecture classes, you have to take detailed notes, as you easily. Moreover, scribbling notes in the class helps you cannot use the text as a reference. to avoid drowsiness or distraction. Note taking materials Often, students take notes without understanding For classroom note taking, it is better to use A4 size anything on note taking systems. When they take papers. For occasional lectures, note pads are commonly verbatim notes as in linear notes, they try to write down used. Store your notes in a loose-leaf folder so that you everything the teacher says or as much of it as they can move the pages around and add any new material can in no particular format. Presently, there are more such as hand-outsand other reference materials. Pens, efficient approaches than this kind of verbatim notes. pencils, and coloured highlighters are familiar tools You can try improved methods of note takingas well for hand written notes. Some lecturers may provide a such as the Cornell note taking method, the outline copy of their lecture notes or presentation slides to the method, the mind mapping method, and the charting students. method. Whatever be the method, consider the following In recent times, there are other effective tools for recording eight guidelines seriously for effective note taking and lecture material and for making notes electronically on learning from classroom lectures. a computer, for example, tablet, iPad, or smartphone.

You contents, the manner in which the reading is structured, may compare your notes with a classmate to check and think about the questions that you need to keep in accuracy and understanding. You may also check your mind while reading. Ask yourself what you already know notes against the textbook or hand-out.Edit your notes about this topic. Framing questions like these helps you to fill in any missing details. These steps enable you to reduce a reading to smaller, more meaningful ideas. to identify any gaps in the information. You can also Recite: Recite and recall the answers to questions from formulate questions that need further reading. You can your memory and write them down highlight key points and add relevant references and link After reading each section, you must recite the answer them to the main points of the lecture. to the question from memory and note down this answer Using notes for revision as a phrase or keyword on a sheet of paper.

However, bear in mind that revision must be a the review after completing the reading of a chapter continuous process to be done throughout the semester, by briefly looking over the notes to get the overall idea, not just when examinations are scheduled! and then reciting the main points of the chapter from Note making from books your memory.

Athulya S. Audra 18 Can the Tranquilant independence ever be mine In this world of brimming rogneness Owing to the garner of intriguity, The wounding prison stabbed my subjectivity Gradually condemning to the couch of eternity meaningless the life comes forth as When the vicious circle of exploited quanta, crumbled my inner soul within; the virtuous wing of vanity dwindled my subjectivity Flabbergasted the self complied to be when it felt the reckon of my vanquished existence So better to extricate my infelicitous cognitions, Better because the nurtured chronicle only splintered. But then bestowed my zenith of humanity; the humanity which endowed my worthy unfortunate which refuged my endowed hampers of unworthy fortunes The humanity enlightened my instrumented embellishment to seek the virtuous blossoms of late autumn, and to live a life of envisaged contemplation 74 College of Horticulture
