Students benefit from having good notes
"Students benefit from taking and having a good set of notes, even though many of them don't see the value, don't take good notes, and like it best when they can copy word-for-word what the teacher says or has on the PowerPoint slides. ... We can tell them in class, on the syllabus and the course website that they need to take notes, but I think less telling and more showing is the better way to go. This post offers a range of activities teachers can use to help students discover what a good set of notes enables them to do."
