record concepts / key ideas. you do not need to worry about description words / punctuation etc.

after you take the notes / review them later that day and fill in any gaps / look for more information or clarify the next day if there is an area you do not understand.

some teachers give out a syllabus or guideline, agenda for the course to let you know what things you will be learning . it is helpful to fill in the parts as you learn the objectives.

ask teachers to explain things you do not understand. you are paying them to do a service / teach you this information.

Notes don't have to be a transcript of everything which was said. If your memory is good enough, all you need are key words which will trigger memories of what the professor was talking about. Then go over them shortly after class, so that you can add in things you need to or correct things which came up later on in class while you still remember them well. Most students write way too many notes, and what ends up happening is that they never actually listened to what the professor said. If they made a mistake in the notes, they would never know it!

I always outline EVERYTHING I read, because later on it helps me study for tests much easier and faster. If the teacher gives you some notes, powerpoints, whatever, you should look at them and then right your notes according to them because the teacher has hiligheted some of the important things you should know for the test and all you need to do is just add the extra details. It works

Use shorthand.
Take down key points only.
Check to see if lecture notes have been published on the internet before the lecture and if so, print them off and simply annotate them during the lecture. This will save you time when you could be concentrating more closely on what is being said.
Re-read your notes as soon as the lecture has finished and check they make sense.

I always found that making an outline helped. That way the information is organized and you can find things easily. It also seems like it's easier to remember like that. Good luck.
