I make sure to provide detailed notes, highlight key points from the lecture, and specify the referencing style, which makes the draft much closer to what I want. Once I receive it, I review it thoroughly, tweak wording to match my voice, and double-check references and formatting. Usually, this final review only takes an hour or so, but it makes me feel confident that the paper is accurate and well-presented. Planning ahead, even just a little, helps a lot because it allows the writer to follow instructions clearly, and then you only need minimal polishing.
