In my science class, we write atleast 3 pages of notes a day and I don't talk or anything but I write so slow and am always the last person to finish and always hold the class up because the teacher will move it too far up from where I'm on and I know that everyone gets pissed, including the teacher. But i really can't hlep it! If i write fast it's messy looking and i can't read my writing if it's messy! And I have to highlight some words and underline some important parts!

Or borrow notes from a friend that understands your problem. You could write the first part of the notes, and they could right the other part. Also, if you're copying off of a transparency, just ask the teacher to hand you the page of notes when he's done so you can make sure you've got all you need. You could abbreviate long words like "communicable diseases and noncommunicable diseases" with something you can still remember, like, "com diseases and non com diseases" but is still shorter to write.
Or, you could do a combo of any of the things I've just suggested.
For ex: write all your notes, without highlighting or underlining, and borrinw the notes from your teacher or a friend and put the finishing touches on your notes at home or in a different class.

Problem solved. I could then concentrate on what was being taught and then analyze the recording later. Needless to say, I made an A in his class.
