"Do people actually take "structured" notes like that?" About one third of my students depart from linear in some way (use of objectives as headings and add notes under, use of key words as centres around which to organise sentences). Agreed a small number use full on mind mapping in the lessons itself. I teach at below university level. Your point about having to read slowly and work to understand your notes ties in with some research, but I'm not about to try that on my handouts! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-11573666 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-11573666
