NOTES DISCUSSION One of the biggest concerns about any Social
Studies class is the taking of notes. The ability to effectively
take notes is a life long skill. It makes you question, and really
focus on what is important in a conversation For instance, in
college, the professor always lecture to us, the students. That was
history for me in several classes.
