Which of the following is not true of note taking?
a. it's a good idea to watch for signposts while taking notes.
b. it's a good idea to pay attention while taking notes.
c. some ways of taking notes are more effective than others.
d. although all methods of taking notes are equally effective, it is important to write down every single thing you hear or remember.

The answer is:  [D]:


"Although all methods of taking notes are equally effective, it is important to write down every single thing you hear or remember."

This answer is correct because the question asks:

         "Which of the following is NOT true of note taking?"

Note that some ways of note-taking are more effective than others (especially considering the types of subjects, the nature and level of the classes and how the classes are taught, and individual learning styles).

Additionally, writing down EVERY SINGLE THING one hears or remembers, or making an attempt to, is counterproductive!  One would likely get so lost in every little details that one would not be able to retain any of the important information needed!
