It really depends on the class: the more lost I am (sometimes there will be classes where the subject matter just doesn't "click" as easily as others), the more inclined I am to make my own outline- if it's just a black letter law or code class, I use someone else's. Right now I making my own for corporations, even though I have an excellent outline from someone else to use. Try both ways and see what works for you.
