The Secrets of Shorthand Notation For Chemistry Students
The Secrets of Shorthand Notation For Chemistry StudentsShorthand notation has been around for many years, but its usage has only been as a method of writing text. It is a writing aid that will serve to be the bridge between the writer and the audience. Although most of us have heard of the typewriter and we know it is used by many people, a shorthand notation is a very new form of writing and it is one that most people are still unfamiliar with. A good shorthand notation guide can help you learn the language of shorthand and help you express yourself more effectively.Shorthand notation is a special writing system where abbreviations are used instead of an entire word or letter. Many words that we use in daily life such as swimming and driver are not pronounced exactly as they are written, but can be shortened using shorthand. This is what makes shorthand notation so useful.The shorthand is not only used by experts in science and medicine, but also by those working in industries. It has become such a normal part of everyday life that we hardly notice it anymore. But the fact that it is not uncommon to hear someone referring to a chemistry table as 'this thing' indicates that it is an important part of everyday life and vocabulary.Because of the popularity of shorthand notation, there are many sources that you can use to get started in learning shorthand. Many computer programs such as Microsoft Word have a shorthand keyboard that you can use. You can also purchase different flash cards that you can use when you are learning shorthand.There are a number of reasons that shorthand notation is a valuable writing tool, even for chemistry. It enables the chemist to write on paper without having to look at the writing to determine what it is they are writing about. And because the person writing the note can say things like 'the room temperature is 20 degrees C' it eliminates the need to indicate the word 'on' in the sentence. It also removes some of the legwork of lo oking up a word when you are writing a note.Good shorthand notation will enable the chemist to write their notes quickly and accurately. A good shorthand reference book will provide you with full instruction on how to write in shorthand, as well as provide information on the two different ways of writing in shorthand, or shorthand style. A good shorthand guide will also contain information on other types of shorthand including clear writing, or shorthand spelling. A good shorthand guide will also provide you with examples of the forms of shorthand such as inversion or irony.Shorthand notation will greatly improve your chemistry, writing, and even for non-chemistry work. Your chemistry notes will look more professional, more legible and more accurate. People will even think you wrote them in shorthand. And as I mentioned earlier, most people use shorthand when they are speaking, so having shorthand notation will make it easier for your audience to understand what you are saying.You w ill find that a good shorthand guide will also help you in your chemistry course and give you a good idea of what your students might not be aware of and this will allow you to become a better chemistry instructor. Once you become familiar with the basics of chemistry shorthand, you will quickly be able to write down notes and teach your students about the subject using shorthand notation.
