Advice on Note Taking

Some simple things that professors tend to be not bothered with-an exception below ;

At the beginning of each class, I will usually distribute copies of the notes that I will project on the screen during that class. But these notes are only an outline. In order to study for the course effectively, you should plan to add your own comments in the margins of the notes I distribute or elsewhere. If your notes aren't very good, borrow notes from your classmates and copy them. (This is NOT cheating.) Unfortunately, studying from other people's notes is never as good as studying from your own. Finally, never try to memorize your notes; instead, use them to help you understand the material.
