Years ago, when I started work in NPB as a trainer (that would be mid-80’s) I recall telling my trainees about the importance of taking notes – some students think it is ok to skip classes; simply borrow their friend’s notes.

Research shows that:

1) Those who take notes do better (in exam) than those who don’t.
2) Those who take detail notes do better than those who took brief sketchy notes.

I cannot remember the other ‘pearls of wisdom’ that I dished out – there were probably 4 or 5 or them in total.

The reason is obvious. The information that goes from the lecturer to your paper passes through your brain where it gets processed; crystalized and remembered.
