Note taking exercise

In comparison to notes taken by others in the class today, I think my notes would be considered mediocre.  While some note takers write a lot of good information down, sometimes in exact wording, I don't always find it to be the most helpful in rereading them to find important points. As a result, my notes tend to be very simple and concise, sometimes just one or two words, and almost never a complete sentence. I attempt to draw out what I think is important and would remind me of what I was reading/listening to if I were to go back and study these notes. The reason I say this would be mediocre in comparison is because if someone else were going to try to read my notes to get information, they may not be able to decipher exactly what I meant here or there because I don't always put down all the information I hear. I think "good notes" would also be concise, but be able to encompass the full ideas and points so that anyone who reads them could get a general understanding of the topic.
