You will also make entries for each assignment.
Start a new sheet for the entries for each assignment

Entries for the assignments will be done concurrently with
the ones for the lecture. If you run out of room for the entries
of a class or an assignment,
put a statement of the form:
Continued on sheet number x
at the bottom of the page. Do this even if you continue to
the next page in sequence.
Do not remove pages from the book. If you do not want to use a page, just put a single diagonal line through it.
For each lecture you will add an entry to the corresponding page in your log describing one important thing you learned in class. This entry should include a date and time and must be inserted at least 2 hours after the end of the class and before the start of the next class. If you didn't learn anything important, choose something discussed in class that you already knew.
