From Scribbles to Success: Note-Taking tips for new students In-Person / Online

Taking good notes isn’t just about writing things down—it’s about making sense of what you’re learning. Whether you're in a lecture, tutorial, or studying independently, strong note-taking skills can make a big difference in how well you understand and remember course material.


In this interactive session, you’ll learn:

  • Why effective note-taking is a key skill for university success
  • Practical tips to improve how you take and organize notes
  • How to use Microsoft OneNote as a powerful digital tool for capturing and managing your ideas


This session is perfect for first-year students looking to build strong academic habits from the start.

What is the First 7 Weeks?

The First 7 Weeks (F7W) programme at University of Limerick (UL) is designed to help new UL students settle in and successfully navigate their first semester on campus.

From a warm welcome and helping students find their way around UL, to getting them acquainted with their new course and helping them develop new skills, the First 7 Weeks initiative supports students to make the transition to UL as seamlessly as possible.

Everyone is welcome. There is free tea and coffee daily and the use of a microwave so why not drop in and say hello? 

Our First 7 Weeks hub staff are all current UL undergrad and post-grad students who remember what it was like to be in first year. They are there to help you with any issues you may have.
