Most students, when they go into class, open up a new Google Drive document or a notion document and write down exactly what the professor says verbatim. The way that I take notes attacks it a little differently because instead of letting the notes be right, verbatim is what the Professor says. When I do take notes, I usually write them in the form of questions in headers and obsidian with the answer below. So my actual questions are at the bottom, my summary is at the top.
