Who is responsible for obtaining notes on material missed?

The trainee is responsible for obtaining notes on material missed because it is essential for their personal learning and development. Taking ownership of their education allows trainees to actively engage with the content and fill in any gaps in their understanding. This responsibility reflects a critical aspect of the learning process, which is self-advocacy. By seeking out the necessary notes, the trainee demonstrates initiative and accountability, ensuring they can keep pace with their training and maintain a comprehensive grasp of the topics covered.

In a learning environment, having fellow trainees or instructors provide notes may be helpful but does not prioritize the trainee's active involvement in their own education. Relying on a training assistant or instructor could potentially lead to gaps in knowledge if the trainee does not actively pursue the needed information and take it seriously.
