This is only slightly related, but if you don't understand, what value do your notes actually have? Or is this an environment with no lecture recordings, digital presentations or notes shared with the class..? I ask out of a genuine curiosity, since I know many people benefit from live note taking. I can only imagine notes being useful if they constituted a synthesis of the teacher's guidance.
- __MatrixMan__ 2y agoI had the same curiosity. Every time I've tried meticulous note taking it turned in to this thing where now I've given myself permission to do something mechanical now and put off the hard thinking until later. And then when I tried to do it later, the moment for asking for clarification had passed.
