McGill's Co-Curricular Record (CCR) is becoming the new Student Experience Record (SER), which will be launched in Fall 2025 in the myFuture platform. This change will enhance the way we recognize and document student learning experiences both inside and outside the classroom. See more information about the SER here.

The deadline to submit CCR participation/attendance lists has passed. Activities that took place before July 1, 2025, were eligible for the CCR, but any participant lists received after August 1 will not be processed. Historical CCR data will be preserved and migrated to the SER for current students.

How to take helpful notes
Do you struggle to capture important information during lectures or while reading? Are your notes unclear or disorganized? Join us for a practical workshop on mastering the art of effective notetaking! In this interactive session, you will learn valuable techniques to enhance your notetaking skills and support your learning.
This workshop will involve opportunities to reflect on how you take notes through a poll question. There will be discussion on advantages and disadvantages of note taking systems (for the in-person session this is in small-groups through a worksheet, for the online session this is done individually on a shared Mural board). Finally, there is a video where participants practice using a notetaking system that is new to them, followed by individual reflection.
 
1. Discover various notetaking systems (Cornell, outline, concept map, flow, charting)
2. Identify key information to record when taking notes in a lecture
3. Practice using a notetaking system
