[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]College prof here.  [b]Possessing information is not the same as knowing it, or (more importantly) the same as having learned enough about it to be able to redeploy it in new ways.  [/b]Notetaking - active distillation accompanied by organization and thought - is a first step towards building active control of information before examining and synthesizing it.  Downloading a copy of my PowerPoint does not constitute learning anything.  Neither does having a copy of my notes.  My notes helped *me* learn so I could teach.  My students' own notes, made by them (including those made in accordance with learning accommodations) help *them* learn so they can use what I am teaching them.[/quote]

+100.  Synthesizing information together to understand concepts and be able to apply in different application.  Whether students start from the teachers slides or from a blank sheet of paper is personal choice.  Whether they do handwritten notes or audio notes is personal choice. Whether they *enhance* the learning process with study groups/projects/etc may be teacher or personal choice.  But none of it changes that having notes is helpful part of learning.[/quote]
