Some schools allow professional note-taking services on campus.
Using prepared lecture notes is generally a bad idea. Consequently, classroom interaction between the student and the instructor, such as asking and answering questions, is eliminated-and such interaction is an important part of the educational process. Another disadvantage of using prepared notes is that, even if the student does attend each class, he or she might tend not to take notes. As a result, the student is not doing the same amount of processing of the material, and it is harder to remember the material in a lecture for which you have not included your own notations and memory devices in notes. Professional lecture notes can be helpful for one of the same reasons that tapes may be beneficial.
