Note-taking is done
during extensive reference work
while writing an essay
during a lecture
while reading a review
Note-taking is primarily done during lectures because the speaker presents information continuously that students need to capture for later reference. Unlike extensive reference work, essay writing, or reading a review (which are self-paced activities), lectures require active listening and simultaneous recording of key points, definitions, and explanations that may not be available elsewhere or may be forgotten if not noted immediately.
