Zoë, it's great that you are recognizing the value of collaborating with your study group and that you appreciate their input in strengthening your notes. It's completely normal to have strengths and weaknesses when it comes to learning and note-taking. Your ability to accurately capture the main ideas from the lectures is a valuable skill that your study group benefits from. And the fact that you are open to improving your note-taking from the text shows your willingness to learn and grow.

Remember, everyone has their own unique strengths and weaknesses, and that's why working in a group can be so beneficial. By combining everyone's strengths, you can create a more comprehensive set of notes that benefits everyone. It's important to focus on the positive aspects of your abilities and the progress you are making, rather than feeling embarrassed about any gaps in your notes. Keep an open mind and continue to learn from your study group, and you'll see improvement over time. Your willingness to collaborate and learn from others is a valuable skill in itself. Keep up the good work!
