how should i take notes
i keep falling asleep in his class. i'm a junior and have the most dreadful class of american history. he's a great guy, don't get me wrong, but the class feels like it lasts 2 hours...and i keep falling asleep halfway into it. i try to stay awake and still take notes, but half a sentence into writing i suddenly wake up and find that i have only scribbled every other letter together into a giant mush.
he mostly talks, and his notes on the screen are just for reference (very little), so you have to pay attention if you want to know what something means. any advice? what would be the best way to take notes on his speech: outline, bullet, sentence, etc. thanks in advance.

This class is going to prepare you wonderfully for university; all my classes are in this format! And yes, I can't help but fall asleep. Try to just write down the heading he provides, and write down every major point relevant to that heading. If you fall asleep, ask a friend if you can see their notes.
That's about all that can be done :)

First of all, This happened to my cousin & it turned out she had a mild-sort-of Narcolepsie.
Second of all, If its not something as serious as above, bullets are the best way for me to take notes!
Hope I helped!

Abbreviate words so you can write faster (short hand) and write with bullets just stating facts sentences take to much time. Don’t write everything down just what seems to be important. If you just can't seem to stay awake ask the teacher if you can record the lecture. Take a tape recorder and that way even if you fall asleep you have everything he says on tape.
Hope I helped.
