Default Learning from your teacher's notes

One of my professors said, "I've made notes that you can print, you don't have to take notes".

I've printed all of her notes. But an important question has arisen in my mind. Can I really learn from somebody else's notes? It would be the very first time in my life.

What if there something important to me, but not to my professor. Now, what matters more, what's important to me or what my professor thinks is important to me?

Any opinion on the subject?

The intelligent person doesn't care what their teacher thinks is important, nor what there peers think is important. They care only about finding the truth. So should you.

What if the teacher gives me bad grades ?

I've known some who never admit they are wrong...

Try both. I'm finding out that being a student is more or less a game and its one you can get better at. Take what you want to out of the material, but also figure out what the teacher thinks is important by looking at past tests or talking to students who've taken his/her class before.

Hope this helps.
