[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I teach middle school math. I give kids outlined notes to fill in.  Headers, blank graphs, etc where they have to fill in the remainder.  It's purely a logistical thing--if i gave them blank paper I'd waste so much time waiting for them to draw coordinate planes or copy down problems that it's not worth it.[/quote]

+1, MS math teacher. We would waste half the year doing this and likely half the curriculum.[/quote]

I teach in a college and stopped having kids write things down a long time ago.  I don't see the point when I can just give them all the notes online, and if they are focused on writing down everything I say then they aren't even comprehending the meaning of most of it.[/quote]

They aren't comprehending your prefilled notes either, Prof.  [/quote]

How do you know their students aren't comprehending the notes? You don't. Some kids do better being given the notes and other kids have to write their own. As a parent I help my kids find what works best for them.... we all learn, organize, and study differently.[/quote]
