Is it legal to copy notes straight from a textbook?

When taking notes as revision for a class, is it breaking copyright laws to copy them word for word from a textbook if it states "No part of this publication may be reproduced in any form"?Is it legal to copy notes straight from a textbook?
There is a fairly broad exemption in the US copyright law for use of copyrighted works in non-profit educational classrooms.



17 USC 搂 110Is it legal to copy notes straight from a textbook?
Yes lol that's legal. It's just illegal if you try to sell them as your own thoughts. If they're for personal use, it's fine.
