Project Abstract: This study is about students' note taking in their advanced mathematics lectures. We wonder why students were not able to identity the content the professor was convey during lectures. We found out that (I) students' notes were only copy of what the teacher wrote on the blackboard, (II) students did not record information that was orally stated, and (III) students did not show evidence of being actively engaged during their lectures. We record 7 80 minutes mathematics lectures and photographed of 69 students' notes from these lectures. We found that in the lectures, much of the important information was stated orally, but students typically did not record what was orally stated in their notes.
