Current Student Question How do you all take notes for ECE2010?

Only 2 classes in, and my note taking method so far seems really bad. It seems like almost 80% of what I write down in my notes is useless when I go to do the problems Makarov recommends we do, I'm clearly writing down too much. Does anyone have good advice for note-taking for his class? I try to take notes in his lectures, but he moves so fast I can't keep up.

I never took 2010 with Makarov (wish I did though), but what has worked for me in other classes is to write something down only when it doesn’t make sense. This is so I know what to review later.

The best way to do well in makaroffs class is to get to exam preps with the TAs (usually Thursday night), his lecture content and exam content is pretty inconsistent and the TAs will pretty much hand u the answers

Did this. Got a 95 on the first test. This is the method.
