Now I have decided that I will prepare my notes

Hi

In the following sentence, I'm confused about the phrase "along with the course". In my view, it doesn't sound good. What other phase could be used? Or how can the entire sentence be rephrased? Please help me. Thank you.

Now I have decided that I will prepare my notes for each subject along with the course and not during the exams - no procrastination anymore.

Regards
Jackson

Perhaps this is what is meant:

Now I have decided that I will prepare my notes for each subject as the course progresses, not just prior to the exams - no procrastination anymore.

Thank you. Yes, that is what I meant to say.

But is it possible to replace the phrase "as the course progresses" with some single-word phrase? Please let me know. Thanks.

I cannot think of a single word, but you can shorten it otherwise:

Now I have decided to prepare my notes throughout each course, not just prior to the exams—no procrastination anymore.

Here is a shorter version:
Now I have decided that I will continuously prepare my class notes instead of waiting until just before exams - no procrastination anymore.
