This is an easy mistake that most of us have made at some point when taking lecture notes.
Not only is attempting to get everything down on paper pretty much impossible, but it also means you won’t really be listening to what’s being said or giving it time to sink in.
The key is striking a balance – listen up, and jot down particular phrases you think are important. You can then back these up with the lecture slides, which should be made available once the class is over.
