There
are different types of lectures in college or university. It is normally one of
a series given by the same faculty as a part of course. usually, 45 to 60 minute duration during this
student listen, make notes , ask and answer questions. The objective of a
lecture may be the presentation of a facts and ideas rather than exchange
between the lecture between the faculty and the students. At the University
level mostly emphasized on interaction and discussion of Idea usually
called seminar or tutorial. Lecturers task is not to provide with a neat set of
notes just by dictating a summary of textbook. Perhaps with a broader vision give
insight on digest of essentials for course/subject, inclusive with
several key elements as shown in figure1.

Preparation is the most important task which makes effective time utilization, while attending the lecture/seminar. Sequential notes which preserve the order in which faculty has presented the information or explore the ideas are more appropriate or effective study material. Preparing notes also promotes to remain attentive, concentrate and active participative learning.
Some students practice to use notebook and take down all their class notes. Further spend time each evening copying notes on different subjects into appropriate file or notebook again. However, it's advised not to make a routine of copying the notes. It's likely to be a time a consuming task and not effective as such. In fact, study time should be utilized effectively for regular study and improving notes, so that we can learn more about the subject.
Some topics also requires the prerequisite for understanding. In this scenario preliminary reading aids to understand topic effectively, better preparation of notes and questionnaire as well.
