Could he write down a modified form? The first think I notice is all the wasted words there. Notes are meant to remind you of something already in your memory, not to replace your memory.
If I were writing the notes for myself, here's how I'd write them:
compare/contrast movie vs. story: Nightingale
Venn the film
Aida for comprehension
predict
ask
summarize
It's faster, easier, and conveys all the same info, especially if he tells you about it all anyway. (Maybe the teacher is assuming kids aren't talking!)
Would this be an acceptable compromise, perhaps, if the goal is to communicate with parents?
