How to take notes during a lecture

For better note making, you must be attentive in class.
Go to school with a clear mind and a positive attitude to gain knowledge.
Always be punctual and arrive on time. Often it is the beginning of the lecture that the subject is introduced and outline of the lesson is set out.
Missing that might lead you to distractions and not knowing what is going on during the lecture.
Always try to be an active listener. The more clearly you listen to your teacher the better notes you will make. And the more you think about the ideas you are noting down, the more you will understand and remember them.
Develop a flexible note-taking strategy, which can be adapted to suit the style of the lecture
