Notes about Notes

Grace and I were the first ones in Human Geography Class, but had to go to the bathroom, so after we set our books down, we used the bathrooms.  When we got back they were talking about who knows what because where just got there! Finally, the lesson started on taking notes.  The class had to take notes on how to take good, precise notes.  Because our class gets sidetracked easily we got onto the subject of college.  Why is college so expensive?  We concluded that it is because people think it is neccessary so they will pay the money to go.  Once we got back on track we wrote down what was being said:  A note is a fact fragment, not a sentence, a piece of information so when you come back to it you'll still know what you were talking about and can gather as much as you can.  Like every class, we talked about the effects of plagiarism.  Also we briefly looked at an article about 125 Harvard kids possibly being expelled because of cheating on a exam.  Then, we did a practice round of taking notes on a paragraph about Illinois.  Some people were confused and didn't catch anything of the paragraph, but others read theirs aloud.  Once we were finished reading class basically ended and we left.
