Class Notes may be taken digitally or hand written, using the Cornell system or any other system you prefer. Class notes will be collected at the end of the unit for both completion and accuracy.  All class lectures as well as discussions and vocabulary builder words must be included in your notes. The purpose of taking class note, regardless of the form you take them in, is to develop or improve the quality or substance of your understanding of the material or lesson being taught in class.  Your notes should help you extend or elaborate upon the idea or material taught in order to give it greater significance, meaning, understanding, complexity or strength to the material.
