Important points from readings that the professor wants to emphasize are presented in lectures.
Lectures contain material the professor has gathered from sources other than classroom materials.
Review your notes from the previous class. Note any questions you have that can be answered by the professor. Sit as close to the front as possible to establish contact with the professor and to avoid distractions. Use a separate notebook, section, or folder for each course. Label your notes with the date, the professor's name, and the course name and number.
