So tell me how yall take notes.
I get bored with taking notes very easily so any tips?

I would get a voice recorder especially for college. I can chill during the lecture and go home to listen to it later. I would take whatever notes that seem important to me. Take whichever notes that will help you and don't take the pointless notes. Remember to work smarter not harder.

I personally go into "zombie mode", where I just aimlessly scribble/type without regard for life. When this is not an option, I either sing or hum a little catchy tune out loud or in my head. Obviously I usually hum as you cannot just be singing out loud everywhere, especially with my voice.

in the thematic approach, an interpreter relies on a central theme (i.e., a major point or message) to guide development of a communication activity or device. in presenting the activity or device, the thematic interpreter develops the theme in such a way that it will be highly relevant to an audience.

explanation:

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
