Student Lectures!

Very few of you turned in jeopardy questions. They need to be in my dropbox before the end of Friday to receive any credit. 
Today we'll be hearing the student lectures on the Rise of the Empires of Eurasia.

One of the most important skills needed to be success in college is note-taking skills. We are going to experiment with something for note-taking. Durning each presentation we are just going to focus on listening (no taking notes on paper or the computer). After each presentation we'll open up our notes and write down what we remember as the most important aspects from each group. Hopefully this strategy will get us to focus on the main ideas from each dynasty instead of being bogged down in details.

On the right side are the presentation schedules. As mentioned yesterday every group should be ready to go in their allotted times. No exceptions.

If you have extra time... Below is a note-taking advice page from Dartmouth College  (they happen to suggest Cornell-notes.
