KSA's, I like that term. Remember you are writing (documenting) for an audience (someone else).

I have learned there are principals to follow when documenting so as to reduce errors or bias that would interfere with career advising.  Case notes are not considered casual but are legal documents which are so very important to document facts and sufficient information. 

My key take away is that you can never assume anything. Don't assume that someone knows what your acronyms mean, don't assume someone understands what a slang term for a job role means IE. "GRIP". Accurate and concise documentation is key. 

It is important not to be vague in the notes so anyone can quickly determine the interaction purpose. 

The most impactful statement from this section is "The student's record is a legal document that can be used in a court of law" 

Accurate documentation will help with the success of case notes. 

If it wasn't documented, it wasn't done....as well as clear, concise, objective documentation for student's record.
