How to Take a Note

I guess a lot of people just do note taking because the teachers here and you've got to make it look like you're doing something, right? At least me in high school sometimes. Now kids will just take a photo, copy the words and paste them as if it's going to do anything. But I guess note taking the objective should be learning the content and then regurgitating it on the page. The knowledge that you have about what you wrote is not linear. You can teach the same topic that you do workshops on 50 different ways.
