Note Taking
Note taking Expectations:
Everyone needs to have a paper notebook for science.
Everyone needs to find the best way to take notes. This can be online or in a paper notebook.
Even if you take your notes online, you will need to write the in the paper notebook the date, summary of the objectives and location of your notes.
You are expected to annotate and review your notes during asynchronous time before the next class period.
