These are two frameworks for taking note-taking depending on the subject. Classes like math and science are more heavy on calculations while classes like literature or history are more heavy on arguments. These 2 simple frameworks are from How to Become a Straight A Student by Cal Newport. I'll also be showing you some walkthrough examples.
🙏 Thanks for watching!

As someone in engineering, the best way I learned to take notes in my math heavy courses is not really taking any. I write on sticky notes and practice the the problem along with the professor or ahead of the professor. It's as if I'm constantly testing myself. I throw the sticky note away right after. In a way it also gives me just enough anxiety to remember most of it since I low-key fear I will forget it but it will be the only time I see it. I also sometimes write down and keep just the question and answer and would use them to study. If the class has hw problems, I do those over and over until I can do them without looking it up on chegg or looking for formulas (since they do not provide formulas). Then it just becomes 2nd nature at some point. This helped me get my first 100 since highschool.
Edit: I also played 1hr of are you satisfied by marina on repeat when I studied lol, idk but that song really keeps me going. Don't worry, I never sacrificed my health/sleep/food for my grades, bc it makes me inefficient and waste a lot of time if I do that. Sometimes there isn't enough time to study and that's okay, we get em next time. Remember self care is important 👍. Anyway hope this is helpful to anyone, it might not work for everyone but it did for me. Besitos~
@Alberto Balsalm Well since the math courses have more to do with critical thinking skills. The practice does help, proof writing also helps understand the general concepts and how it works and why it works that way. Sometimes I study by just saying out loud the steps I have to take to do it. Such like "first put move things around to make it a linear diff equation, then find the integrating factor and plug it in..." so on and so forth. As for how successful, I started off not the best in school before I did this. I would just copy the problems that the prof would write and do the homework once, I would get B's and C's despite me being "good" at mathematics. Now I'm an A B student and I struggle less since I'm trying to solve it with the professor in a way. As for how much I study in comparison to my peers, I have some who study for 4 to 5 days, and I definitely don't do that. I study for about 2-3 days but without sacrificing my sleep or other needs (unlike some of my peers). Also keep in mind I'm busy with classes or work from 8am to 5pm Monday through Friday so I don't have much time.
I was really burnt out and ready to give up but this, thiss gave me new hope, a ray of sunshine. Thankss Sunshine
Im gonna start doing this. Thanks for sharing!
I am aspiring to study engineering but we need to give a exam for that called JEE (Physics Chemistry Maths). In JEE your concepts should be crystal clear because of the absolute maniac way the questions are framed. Without taking notes one is doomed to forget the definitions down the road, and definitions mean a lot cz a simple play of word in the question and everyone will be confused.
I just started my 4 years as an aerospace engineering student. Would you say constantly solving practice problems is a better strategy or note-taking?
0:57 non-technical classes (literature, history, political science, etc)
3:23 technical classes (math, science, economics, etc)
Thanks for this..... This saves my timee❤️❤️
Thanks bro!
The QEC and PSA methods are really the same thing:
1. What are you trying to determine? => Question or Prompt
2. How do you figure it out? => Evidence or Solution
3. What result do you get? => Conclusion or Answer
Facts
The question might be the same, but the way you answer them is different

As someone who has always seen notetaking as a pain in the ass and an unnecessary step. I've found this very helpful.
I have recently given (more like messed up) my half yearly (mid terms) and realized a lot of my mistakes. Which I'm not gonna repeat again. I've found your channel really helpful, thank you for being here.
I am a recent mechanical engineering graduate and as someone who went through a majority technical course of brain numbing math, I can say that taking notes of technical topics is a pain in the butt
But, if you supplement it with practicing as many problem sets as possible, then your notes become your study guide and problem sets become your revision guide as practicing problems will help you revise the concepts you have learnt more efficiently
I take short notes of the important concepts and formulations of a chapter in no less that 3 pages and then set out to solve practice problems to hone into the things I have learnt
This is a more doable approach in my opinion
Maths ke liye tips dedo bhai :(
This is really two different ways of note taking:
In technical classes, you start with concrete examples and work backwards to create a more general recipe for dealing with different problems.
But in non-technical classes, you're given general questions and drilling down to find similarities and differences between certain things in the topic to solidify your understanding of the concept.

Summaries help so much. It's actually insane how I can understand a whole lotta words when I make summaries.
Simple and help ful as always! My struggles left to tackle are essential school supplies to bring in school and digital file organization (it's a mess!)
Thank you for helping me learn how to take technical notes, I'm using the PSA to study Data Science and Python programming. You're a life saver!🥰
Thank you so much for these videos, they are so helpful and easy to follow. I am a new (old) student returning after many years away from school, I never really learned any good study techniques. I really appreciate what you’ve done here.
Thanks! I just looked this up two weeks before exams lol. This is really helpful, and I haven't seen a video as good and concise as this.
You are a godsend for making a video about this. This is what I struggle with the most at the beginning of the year
Right when I was researching note taking, you guys came in clutch :D
omg same!! I was just researching note taking methods lmao
@@krystofdusek1 Damn, it's pretty cool to think of what others could be doing the same time as you. Even cooler to know they might be doing the exact same thing ✨
we gotchu!
This is honestly the most helpful note taking video I’ve watched cuz so many are for technical courses but they don’t work well for arts students…this has actually helped me understand how to actually make useful notes instead of just copying slides ❤
You are spot on. Back in the Dark Ages when I was in college, we weren't taught how to take notes. Sadly, even kids in middle school and high school today aren't taught how to take notes either. I'm way past college, but I take notes on non-fiction and fiction books because sometimes it's hard to keep track of many characters and events.
Thank you for this video! This is a great guide for an average engineering student like me who has both non tech and technical subjects.
glad it can help! let us know how it works and if we can improve it
The QEC framework is genius...that translates to general reading as well.
Love your video! It is concise and precise! Please keep up making it!
Will Do!
Got any tips on note taking for learning a foreign language ? I am learning from a speaker of the language, not a linguistic teacher. I am a KITSUNE and I’m having a hard time understanding the language, it seems like I just memorize it. Thank you for your videos , they have changed my academic life!❤🎉
Bro i really love your videos, you helped me a lot 💪🏽
I would really love a language learning specific video!
Yes!
I'm a middle school student and I make amazing notes because of TH-cam and my social teacher she encouraged me and my frnds to make notes since grade 1 and I have been toping and got 5 awards cuz I topped 5 years and got a scholarship 😊 thanks to my teacher😊
Please make part 2, which cover subject like language learning, programming, etc
Once again, life changing value.
Great tips!! Thanks a bunch!!
I need this for Compti A+ study because our instructor rambled….but the actual exam follows the PSA format 😮
Do you have any specific tips or resources for studying computer science? I don't find it's an easy thing to break down and study
life saver was researching this since a few months
glad we can help here!
I have a doubt.... can the conclusion for QEC can be as simple as yes or no ?
@Cajun Koi Academy
This is so incredibly helpful and should be taught in schools. We're taught how to teach but not necessarily how to learn which sounds like it should be innate but it's not at least not within the structure and institution of academic teaching. Thank you for this!!!
Glad you think so!
I totally agree with you! Thanks to the internet and youtube, people are learning more and gaining interest in the field of meta-cognition and knowledge acquisition!
Thank you. Please do you recommend using the same note for all or most courses
Finally the video I'm waiting for and exactly what I need,thank you Cajun koi team...
can anyone give me the link of PSA and QEC technique ? I couldn't find it on Google.
but how to make flashcard after l take notes using the note taking system (QEC)

Hi!
I want to know if you have any tips for online-only classes, where modules are given adn you study on your own. Thanks!

thank you sm this will help me
Would you categorise languages (like Spanish) as technical or non technical?
PSA method reminds me of the T note taking method where you split the page in two and do the practice problems on one side and add annotations on the other.
Personally for science I use Cornell notes because it gives a summary in the end to easily skim through the important stuff
My books have 1000 QEC how am I supposed to know which of them I should write down
What about biology? Is it tachnical due to a lot of diagrams and logic or is it non technical due to the theoretical and memories part
I've been doing that technical technique thing! However, i think why my grades are low bc i maybe have low analyzation skills
This is perfect video I was looking for!
Recomendation:How many layer of topic per study session?
That's awesome 😍
i love the videos , its just really hard to adapt that cause i study two languages?

As an international relations student I have never been more seen bc no one talks about how to take notes on subjects I study but the QEC methods seems like it
I don't exactly write notes like we have textbooks and we hv quite good space to jot down some imp things so what i do is read the part and write ques related to it or just write imp things not given in book or some simplified things and thats it whenever i need to learn i open the book and go through ques and simplified things also img in book also diag give a good review and everythings gets set in your brain like nothings missing
Thankss🥺💜

I'm an electrical engineer students.
I personally write what the professor writes (unless it is something I feel very comfortable with) and add notes when necessary, for future review, and any tip\ commen mistakes the lecturer mentions.
Alot of the solutions and theorems are based on the same principles, so I highlight in my notes whenever I see a new way of solving a problem, or a certain theory being used in a way I hadn't seen or thought of, or rarely use.
I do the same for the H.W and tutorials.
When I study for the tests, these are the things I pay most of the attention to, along with knowing the theorems and how we regularly use them for said curses.
This saves me a lot of time when doing H.W, since the H.W questions tend to be more difficult them those we see in the tutorials.
Some of the highlighted sentences aren't used as much in the current curses, but I often find them useful for curses in the next semester, that are more advanced, and that's a great feeling as well.
I do really like math, so some of the steps I take aren't a must for getting a good grade, but they help understanding the bigger picture and making connections between the different curses.
In physics knowing a bit of the history and the progression that led to the theorems help ALOT, because it's very easy to get lost otherwise.

@@lilac_ivoriesiscool Thank you
in our country, they made us write the whole like notes about something. But im glad I didnt comply and made my own note
Thank you for the note-taking method. It really helps me a lot went I'm studying.
You are very good YTrs ❤
Thank you for your kind words and support!
Nice
Good 😊
How to study and beat laziness even if you are aware what might be the result for not studying? Pls, my board exam is 29 days from now and I can't even study a single topic🥺
How do you blend between notion notes and handwritten notes/drawings?
It depends on which system of note taking works for you. If you prefer hand written then do hand written notes and put them in your notion, if you prefer typing then just use notion.
@CajunKoiAcademy it’s a big problem of mine, I focus on the technicalities a bit too much. Like oh maybe if I used paper this would be better but then on the computer it’d be like this… etc. Maybe someone’s here been in my place and has advice
3:46 I support this idea too realised this on 8th standard . Now I am in 3rd year of graduation
Correct me if i'm wrong but isn't this just the cornell notes method.
Q- The sidebar with ideas
E- The main notes section
C- The summary at the bottom
I would say that I don’t agree in doing the whole QEC during the lecture because the professor won’t wait for you to finish writing and you cannot split your attention. My uni records the lectures so i try go over the lecture before (hopefully they upload it before the lecture) and try to have some understanding. This is when I think doing QECs might be best. Then I take notes on things that are not in the slide but the slides don’t have especially if it helps understanding. Because I went over the lecture before I just listen as much as I can and end of lecture i ask on anything I’m not clear on
is taking notes for learning languages fall under non-technical or technical?
That is an interesting question because it does show traits of both. At its core, it is considered a non-technical subject as it primarily focuses on the acquisition of skills related to speaking, listening, reading, and writing in a new language, along with understanding cultural nuances.
However, aspects of language learning can involve technical elements, such as the study of linguistics, phonetics, grammar structures, and language acquisition theories.
These elements can be approached in a systematic, analytical way, often involving technical tools and methods like language learning apps, software, and structured curricula.
@@KoiAcademy i understand, thank you!
I actually have been doing this exact same thing all these years
I've never mastered being a good student. That's a whole 'nother' topic.
it's a forever learning process

QEC is still the best bet for combining similar ideas. We have another video about memorization / flashcards that could help too

Techies can use Obsidian, instead of committing to Notions ecosystem with your precious notes.
I’m not in uni so QEC don’t work sadly

It’s me taking notes on a video about taking notes for me
this is good for me i think. because i do it in reverse. i learn,explain,note,draw. the dont know how to do it. for one subject alone.
hopefully i remember to give update. my exams are in 44 days.
Good luck, rookie! I am rooting for you! You got this.
