People of the internet! I am preparing for a new academic year and experimenting with new note-taking techniques. This is mainly in an attempt to maintain focus during boring, often not very useful lectures, but also in an attempt to improve my grades.
What note-taking techniques do you use? A few parameters: I can't afford to print out the slideshow presentations that almost all our lectures are based around, and I find that less useful anyway than writing by hand. I've explored the Cornell system and am considering a variation on it. Ideally I'd like a system that lets me use the same sheet of paper for in-class note taking and before/after class studying on the same topic.
I'm going to try out a system using the Cornell layout, but instead of writing key words in the left column during the lecture, I've written out topic headings taken in advance from the slideshow. The bottom section, instead of a summary, is for making notes of additional reading I need to do, things to follow up or clarify, and any work we're told to complete. We'll see in a couple of weeks whether this works!
Method of Madness:
If you have access to the slideshows, why not just read them on your computer instead of printing them out? (In addition to taking notes, of course)

If you do that in one of my classes, I expect a bribe.
