How to Take Notes-- A Primer

It is a good idea to take notes or keep a log of all your activities. These notes can serve you in a personal and professional sense. Commonly you will need to make a report of your activities to your boss, so it would be a good idea to have an accurate record. Some things (if relevant) you might want to record are:

  • Names of persons attending the trip or meeting
  • Date
  • Climate (if in the field)
  • Company name and representatives
  • Vital statistics
    • Discovery history
    • For mines: production rate, average grade, cut-off grades, reserves (past+present), number of employees, number of geologists
    • Geological features
