I’ve been asked to devise a way to teach/grade my students on how to take notes in class, because apparently this is not something many upper-level undergraduates know how to do anymore. I have no idea how to teach or do this - I just have always taken notes in a way that makes sense to me but not necessarily to anyone else.

Does anyone have ideas?

Any ideas, anyone? I’m baffled.

Try Cornell Notes:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornell_Notes

What about modeling a few different ways to take notes, lecture/teach a class, and then have an open note quiz/test on them? That way students must take notes, but they have a choice as to how works best for each.
