Writing Notes

<p>I always heard college was about reading and writing notes, but all my professors are giving their lecture notes to us.
So is there even a point of writing notes?
I still write notes myself to "grab the concept myself" but i feel like it might just be a waste of paper..</p>

<p>It’s all up to you. For some people I’m sure it is a waste. I like to write my own notes because the act of physically writing information down is what helps me retain information. It can even be the notes right off the powerpoint - I just need to physically write things down (or type them but that doesn’t work as well) in order to understand anything.</p>

<p>If they give you the notes, then not really, unless you want to add things on in the margins to clarify or whatever.</p>
