[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What were his high school classes like? Lecture is the most common style of teaching across the board[/quote]

This. How did he get through HS without good note taking skills?[/quote]

They do not take notes in HS any more. Private schools still teach it in Middle and it is necessary in HS if you want to do well. Many public schools do not teach or require or even encourage note taking. Tests are rote regurgitation of study guides that the teacher makes for them. It is a very different world. [/quote]

Really? That's awful. Why are they sending students to college who aren't prepared for college? My DS was taught to take notes in two different methods by the end of 9th grade. He was required to take handwritten notes. He got grades for his notes. He would have to write recall questions for homework following the lecture.

OP- He should go to the study or tutoring center to see if they offer study classes. He should also go to office hours to get tips for how to study more effectively. I was never really taught a method for note taking but I found what worked through trial and error.[/quote]
