In-Class Writing: Metthod of taking notes in class

         In my American History class, there are 3 types of ways students take notes. The methods are writing down all the information the teacher gives you, the one where you only write down the most important points of the notes, and the last one would be just to follow along with the teacher and write nothing down. First, the student who writes everything down are the students that can write fast and that are the over achievers of the class. Second, there are students that only write down the important facts about the notes that would be on a test, those students would be the average part in the classroom. This is also because the teacher says it would be better to do it this way so that time is not wasted. Finally, students that think they are the smartest and do not think they need to take notes to review later. There are a few students in my class who do this because they think it is a waste of time to even write down the important facts. For me, I like to write down only key points of the notes so that I can go back later and studying them for a test.
