Document Summary
During the lecture: listen carefully to the introduction of the lecture. Copy what"s written on the whiteboard or overhead projector. Every professor organizes each lecture into some sort of outline, even if it"s implicit and loosely followed. By knowing this outline, you will be better prepared to anticipate what notes you will need to take: take notes in outline format. Underneath section headings, write down ideas in bullet form and supplementary ideas with indented sub-bullets. This is much better than just writing down everything as a new point. Professors are not always organized about following main points with sub-points, so keep in mind that you may have to re-organize your notes after the lecture. This is why it may be advantageous to take notes with a laptop, as editing becomes seamless.
