The write right rite
Before:

After:

Great! How do I do that?
Follow up:
Update: you can download the video of the lecture from Youtube - it does not contain subtitles, they are still a 'work in progress'. If you can offer some help with the process, it would be great.
The write right rite is a special lecture that tries to answer the following questions:
- How to maximize the amount of information retained during a lecture?
- How to write less and memorize more?
- How to spend less time preparing for an exam and still get a good result?
- How to do all of the above without using drugs?
Where?
Technical University of Moldova, bl#3, 3-3 (Râşcani).
When?
Saturday, 10 o'clock.
This is yet to be defined, but the lecture will be held some time this week (i.e. not later than September the 19th).
Feel free to spread the word and bring a friend or two. Everyone's invited.
Updates:- Resolved
Does anyone have the equipment to record this and then post it online as a video? - The gathering point is at the entrance of the university (the building with the yellow antenna), at 9:50.
We'll see how many people show up and then figure out where to find enough space to host the event. It will be either 3-3 or 208.

rest of the feedback you heard personaly
but I am sorry that there was some trolling on you, I hears jokes on you and laughing when you accidentaly shackled. Even smart people can be assholes :| Sorry aqbout that.

Hmm.. I think I know which moments you refer to - I hit the table with my hand accidentally; plus that annoying fly showed up at the wrong time too (by the way, shortly after I opened the doors - it left :-)
Various things happen in classes, sometimes the chalk breaks, sometimes I get dust all over my pants, sometimes the sponge falls out of my hand and I'm trying to recover it by defying gravity in various artistic and non-standard methods... :-)
I don't think those folks were laughing at me, my guess is that they were laughing at the situation itself. I don't see anything wrong with that and I felt 0% offended.
Thanks for the suggestion, it will indeed be a great idea to take a look at the notes people took - that material can be used as an example of how things can be optimized (or how there is nothing to do, for the notes are already optimal).

I was really waiting for some super-miracle ideas about taking notes, but I guess those aren't known yet. %)
Also, could you post a couple of pages of your own notebooks, so we can see what the knowledge looks like in practice?
Cheers.

Super-miraculous tips weren't there, nor there will be any - and that is good news! It means that all the proposed methods are simple and obvious - therefore it doesn't take a genius to implement them. In other words - you already have everything you need to get started.
One of the most useful design principles is KISS - "keep it short, simple"; that's what I tried to do with the rite.
Yes, I will include samples of my notes; I will also provide the "long version" of the "write right rite", as well as an optimized version which applies the rite to itself, as well as a super-optimized version that applies the previously self-applied rite to itself ;-) It looks like this: 25 pages, 4 pages, 1 page. You'll see yourself, you can reconstruct the entire lecture from that single page. Awesome!

- we've got it on video, I am now processing the material and I'll publish it online as soon as I'm done;
- the guide itself will be posted after the video is made available.
If more people ask about a real lecture, then I will think about it. I guess it won't be a problem, as long as I won't be talking to just 5 people :-)
In any case, you can probably attend the next special lecture, it is called "reverse engineering love" (title may change, but the idea is clear).
