Note-Taking 

To the average student, "note-taking" means "taking words" from one location and moving them to a different one.

The student completed his note-taking by paraphrasing what he found on-line and moving it onto his keynote presentation.

The act of IM'ing, Facebooking, emailing, engaging in youtube flame wars or otherwise surfing the web, in class whereby the student continues to type even though the teacher has stopped speaking for 30 seconds or more. Generally paired with a complete and obvious lack of attention to the lecture.

As the professor paused he noticed several students continued typing long after he stopped lecturing. "Interesting, taking notes in ADVANCE of my saying something...this must be the 'prophetic note-taking' I've heard about from the Religion department professors."
