This is a (24)C problem in all classes.You are so afraid that you might miss something"important"that your tendency is to write(25)D down.We all do because we have all committed this (26)D at one time or another.I realize it's easy for me to say this,but it is much better to listen to the lecture carefully and(27)A only those things that were genuinely important.
It goes without saying that your notes should be written readably.I wouldn't suggest rewriting your (28)B after every class but sometimes this will help you understand and recollect the material better.Organize your notes into brief(29)B.Use arrows,stars,asterisks and other notational devices to highlight things that seem really important.As a rule,if there is anything you don't understand,bring it up during the next class period.If not,you will be doing yourself,and everyone (30)D in the class,a great injustice.
