How i take notes

In college it is very important to take notes and to do it the right way. In class i usually follow along what is written on the board, and add bullets if the teacher goes into more detail about the subject but doesnt write it down. Ill also add my own notes if i figure something out that the teacher will explain later. When I am taking notes on sources however, i do it a different way. I usually go through the text or internet source and write major points in a bullet form. If the text goes into more detail about a subject, ill indent and number the points under the major bullet. I then, after i am done will group all the information into sections in my notes, so i can develop whole paragraphs with the info in each section and so on. I plain and simply try to not plagarize by changing the wording of each sentence i use information from, i may even combine or even shrink some sentences to make it usable and not plagarising. I also ofcoarse cite all my sources which i believe is the most solid form of plagarizm prevention. Chapter 7 was a great help to finding out about sources and helping me not plagarize as well.
