When going to class have the content or slides you are about to go over ready on your laptop or on a separate sheet of paper and bring it to class. As you go through the slides take notes on each one individually. Using a template could help you with your organization of notes as many people such as myself just put content on pages randomly which can be counterproductive. Be proactive when in lectures or taking notes from an online video. Podcasts can help you gain info on a subject while accomplishing other tasks. Online lectures can be stressful and hard to learn from if you do not come with certain expectations or are not in a proper environment to do so, so going to the library for these may be beneficial. Do not be intimidated as online instructional videos can be extremely helpful and provide benefits that may not have been as clear as before such as, they provide a different angle on the subject at hand and appeal to more auditory and visual learning preferences.
