Abbreviations in Note taking

Use only the abbreviations that fit your needs and that you will remember easily. A good

idea is to introduce only a few abbreviations into your note taking at a time.

Symbols helpful in math -- these are commonly used in texts and references.

S = sum

f = frequency

Leave out periods in standard abbreviations.

cf = compare

e.g. = example

dept = department

Use only the first syllable of a word.

pol = politics

dem = democracy

lib = liberal

cap = capitalism

Use entire first syllable and only 1st letter of 2nd syllable.

pres = presentation

subj = subject

ind = individual

cons = conservative

Eliminate final letters. Use just enough of the word to form a recognizable abbreviation.

assoc = associate

biol = biology

info = information

ach = achievement

chem = chemistry

max = maximum

intro = introduction

conc = concentration

min = minimum

rep = repetition

Omit vowels, retain only enough consonants to give a recognizable skeleton of the word.

ppd = prepared

prblm = problem

estmt = estimate

bkgd = background

gvt = government

Use an apostrophe in place of letters.

5

am't = amount

cont'd = continued

gov't = government

educat'l = educational

Form the plural of a symbol or abbreviated word by adding s.

chpts = chapters

egs = examples

fs = frequencies

intros = introductions

Use g to represent ing endings.

ckg = checking

estg = establishing

decrg = decreasing

exptg = experimenting

Spell out short words such as in, at, to, but, for, and key.

Abbreviations or symbols for short words will make the notes too dense with shorthand.

Leave out unimportant words.

Leave out the words a and the.

If a term, phrase, or name is written out in full during the lecture, substitute initials

whenever the term, phrase, or name is used again. For example, Center for Aerospace

Sciences becomes CAS thereafter.

Use symbols for commonly recurring connective or transitional words.

& = and

w/ = with

w/o = without

vs = against

= therefore

= = is or equal

Use technical symbols where applicable.

zb = German, for example

ibid = Latin, the same work

o = degrees

H2O = water

More reference:

Use standard maths, accounting, and science symbols. Examples:

6

+ plus

// parallel

Use standard abbreviations and leave out full stops. Examples:

eg example

IT dept Information Technology department

UK United Kingdom

Use only the first syllable of a word. Examples:

mar marketing

cus customer

cli client

Use the entire first syllable and the first letter of the second syllable. Examples:

subj subject

budg budget

ind individual

To distinguish among various forms of the same word, use the first syllable of the word,

an apostrophe, and the ending of the word. Examples:

tech'gy technology

gen'ion generalisation

del'y delivery

Use just enough of the beginning of a word to form a recognizable abbreviation. Examples:

assoc associated

ach achievement

info information

Omit vowels from the middle of words, retaining only enough consonants to provide a

recognizable skeleton of the word. Examples:

bkgd background

mvmt movement

prblm problem

Form the plural of a symbol or abbreviated word by adding 's.' Examples:

custs customers

fs frequencies

/s ratios

Use 'g' to represent 'ing' endings. Examples:

decrg decreasing

ckg checking

estblg establishing

Spell out, rather than abbreviate short words. Examples:

in

but

as

key

Leave out unimportant verbs. Examples:

is

was

7

were

Leave out unnecessary articles. Examples:

a

an

the

If a term, phrase, or name is initially written out in full during the talk or meeting, initials

can be substituted whenever the term, phrase, or name is used again. Example:

January Advertising Campaign Budget JACB

Use symbols for common connective or transition words. Examples:

@ at

2 to

4 for

& and

w/ with

w/o without

vs against

Create your own set of abbreviations and symbols. You may wish to develop separate sets

of symbols and abbreviations for different courses or subjects.
