Thank you for this. I've had previous teachers say somewhat similar stuff, mainly around not just copying word-for-word, but highlighting the important aspects and trying to put everything into your own words. But what you have said is extremely helpful as well. I'm okay with taking notes, but I'm not the best. I'll make sure to bear all your advice in mind next time I'm taking notes.
Great! Finding the little tricks and techniques that work best for you is a process that takes time to master, but it'll pay off even early on . The short version of my spiel, by the way, is: "Participate, all the time, in your head, and record that in your notes."
