Notetake

I've always wondered why my teachers told me things, or had me notetake, when the information was right in front of me, clear and concise.

Whether general or specific, subtopics become the outline of the entire research project, the "dry bones" that are "fleshed out" with knowing what to read and notetake and what information to skip.

I can notetake just fine, I don't need (what one person on a gaming site Q&A I occasionally read calls) "dummy text".

To note-take or not to note-take?
