Taking notes means you are jotting down facts and ideas to use either in reviewing for greater clarity or for your own writing to back up your own opinion with expert information. Connecting the dots is what you need to do to understand the notes you have taken. When you know the facts it is easier to understand the concepts these facts and ideas are supporting. In order to learn anything you need to read it, write it, review it and check your knowledge to see what you still need to learn. So organizing your notes will help you to connect the dots.
