when we are in class I know that most of the information comes from my lecture and demonstrations, but the other part comes from my notes of experience in the real world which is of course the positive ideas that influence people to come to technical colleges, however, I also have former students come back and talk about the relevance of their classes and the info to their real world scenarios and I find that sometimes that is more valuable than anything I can lecture

I have several classes where I have tried the outline handouts for notes and we lecture and fill them in as we go and then I have also had classes where the students take the notes themselves off the white boards, the students always tell me that even though their hands hurt from the notes, they are detailed and fill in voids that the book may not cover and also the lecture accompanying it is always defining for them and they prefer the notes to the easy way out handouts
