Hmm, that's a good point. I forgot about that. To be honest, not every prof. gives out notes on a power point. Lots of them just post a lecture outline on a overhead and that's all. I tend to do the same thing with all profs: write down whatever
I think is important or what they specifically say is important. Lots of my profs have said that what they say is more important than what is on the PP since usually, they post PP's on Avenue later anyway (but not all, so check at the beginning of the semester to see if they do). I liked Goutor's method of just posting the lecture outline because whatever is on it is
important. It tells you exactly what to study. Lots of profs are cryptic; they tell you what you need to remember and then it's never on the exam. It's frustrating as hell. So, ensure that as you make your notes, pay attention to whatever he's mentioned in the outline.
Goutor is a very straight-forward, laidback guy. He'll tell you like it is with no surprises.
