Every student would have a different way of how they would take their lessons as a happy part of their day. My experience in teaching - Short but accurate notes would make student to understand lessons better -To ensure student understand the concept of lesson being taught, I would prepare own work sheet and provide them after every class, so that I am aware of what is their understanding of that particular lesson before proceeding for the next lesson - Keep myself updated on new academic way of question and answers and guide student accordingly.
