Stick to your guns on the notetaking thing. CC kids are lazy and just want the easier way to do things, not the more educational.
You might pick up James Lang's On Course if you're looking for a guide to teaching. In the meantime, use the previous instructor's materials, but pay attention to where they work for and where they don't so that next semester you know what to change to make it more your own. Teachers are never so effective as when they're teaching their own stuff.
Feel free to PM if you have specific Qs. I've taught years of English 101 at Universities and CCs. What I have to tell you may or may not be useful in your field, but some teaching ideas are universal. If by chance you DO teaching English, I have some strong formed opinions on technique.
Hang in there!
