Lecture Notes Outline
Many students have difficulty writing good notes. Some try to write every word down, missing important verbal information or discussions. Others choose to write nothing down, leaving nothing for them to study or refer to later. This offers a way for students to take notes in a structured manner -- by answering questions, filling in the blanks, or labelling diagrams.
