"There is a great difference between knowing a thing and understanding it." - Charles Kettering (1876 - 1958), American electrical engineer and inventor
Knowing what and how much to write down is sometimes difficult. Rely on some of the following tips for what to include in your notes.
- Details, facts, or explanations that expand or explain the main points that are mentioned. Don't forget examples.
- Definitions, word-for-word.
- Enumerations or lists of things that are discussed.
- Material written on the chalkboard or on a transparency, including drawings or charts.
- Information that is repeated or spelled out. (University of Texas at Austin)
For that fourth bullet point above, online students should add something about material written in their online courses, and especially Elluminate sessions!
Which one of the above items is most important to you? Why?

The second tip: "Definitions, word-for-word" is important to me. This is because I need to know the exact meaning of the word in order to incorporate it effectively in my written or verbal communiation.

All the 5 tips are very useful to me. The time of my on line class is very limited. So whatever I learn from the teacher is very important to me.
Thank you very much, Ms. Gates.

I think that "Definition,word -for -word" is very important .Imagine that you are giving a speech or writing to someone very important and you are using words out of context. People might think either this is a joke or you didn't give your speech or your paper more thought because it is poorly presented.
