I am really like the Cornell Notes System for taking notes. If you are still having problmes there are some sites to check out that have more info on the system below. My best advice is to stick with it and try to make it your own. In a nutshell you organzie your paper into thirds: the first 2.5 inches starting from the left is for your cue or your the main idea of that day's notes, the next third or 6 inches form the right of your paper is for the notes themselves, and the last third of bottom 2 inches is for the summary of the day's notes.
The que should be the main idea of the days notes. No more than 2 to 3 words max.
The notes sections is for you to jot down things that are new to you, numbers, dates, lists, directions, definitions, etc.
The summary section is just 1 to 2 sentences that wraps up what the above notes are about.
