UNIT 1: USING SYMBOLS AND ABBREVIATIONS

UNIT 1: USING SYMBOLS AND ABBREVIATIONS

    When you are taking notes, you do not have time to write down everything the speaker says, you must note as much information as possible in the fewest words. Each person can develop his or her own symbols and abbreviations.
e.g.   Lecturer: John F. Kenedy was the 35th president of the United States.
         Notes: JFK- 35th pres. of US
    However, there are many symbols and abbreviations that are commonly used that you find very helpful. The following are some of these commonly used symbols and abbreviations. Refer back to this page from time to time to see if you are using all the symbols and abbreviations in your notetaking.
    Here are abbreviations that originate from Latin:
AbbreviationsMeaning
e.g.for example
cf.compare
i.e.that is
etc.et cetera

  6. I'm starting a new internet blog directory and was wanting to know if I can submit your blog? I'm
    hoping to increase my directory slowly by hand so that it
    retains good quality. I will make sure and put your website in the best category and I'll also use, "Blogger: My Blog: Anh-Tourguide" as your anchor text. Be sure to let me know if this is ok with you by contacting me at: maudeharding@googlemail.com. Bless you
