Day one of class would have contact info for the prof and some fellow students and a lot of notes.  Each progressive day of class had fewer notes and more doodles.  Usually, by halfway through the class, my notebooks largely comprised of "Silent But Deadly: the continuing Adventures of the Kung Fu Mime!" and similar artistic endeavors.Not too useful for people looking to crib notes...</blockquote>
