Description

Welcome back to the Law School Toolbox podcast! Today, in an episode from our "Quick Tips" series, we're talking about a seemingly radical approach to note-taking: drawing your notes. This technique may especially appeal to you if you are a visual learner or like to draw or sketch concepts. In this episode we discuss: How drawing helps with memorization Developing a "visual toolkit" for law school classes Summarizing the facts of a case with a series of images Specific shorthand symbols and drawings commonly used by law students Resources: Drawing in Class: Rachel Smith at TEDx (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tJPeumHNLY) How to Draw to Remember More: Graham Shaw at TEDx (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gj3ZnKlHqxI) Mike Rohde: The Sketchnote Books (https://rohdesign.com/) Notability app (https://notability.com/) Podcast Episode 30: Visual Learning for Law Students (Guest Kipp Mueller) (https://lawschooltoolbox.com/podcast-episode-30-visual-learning-law-students-guest-kipp-mueller/) Podcast Episode 146: Tips for Visual Learners (https://lawschooltoolbox.com/podcast-episode-146-tips-for-visual-learners/) How Visual Learning Tools Can Help You in Law School: An Interview with SketchyLaw (https://lawschooltoolbox.com/how-visual-learning-tools-can-help-you-in-law-school-an-interview-with-sketchylaw/) Download the Transcript  (https://lawschooltoolbox.com/episode-421-quick-tips-using-visual-drawings-for-note-taking-and-memorization/) If you enjoy the podcast, we'd love a nice review and/or rating on Apple Podcasts (https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/law-school-toolbox-podcast/id1027603976) or your favorite listening app. And feel free to reach out to us directly.
