There is a reason I take lecture notes by hand. (Victoria)
Yesterday after getting in late to my Reason lecture we had a twenty minute talk on how to use the library directory etc. and I though there’s no harm in me turning on my laptop until the actual lecture starts, right? Wrong. I spent the entire lecture gossiping with an old friend on Facebook about boys and uni and when we’re getting home for Easter break. Then after nearly forgetting to even go to my Criminology lecture I spent it chatting to a different friend about John Green’s appearance on Craig Ferguson which was happening at the time. Needless to say, I didn’t take in a single thing from either lecture and now have to thoroughly study the lecture slides and probably listen on LMS. It doesn’t help really help that the information from the Crim lecture is exactly what I need for my assessment next week. Which I should be doing right now.
I’m really slipping back into this student thing, ey?

Haha I’ve done that too! Writing seems to sink into your memory more, too, rather than typing, I wonder why that is… and I never look back on word docos of notes but I flick through my written stuff! The humble pen and paper is very underrated compared to MacBook pros, it seems
Yeah, i usually handwrite notes in the lecture, then do a combination of typing and handwriting to get summaries. BUT I just lost all my final typed notes which is a bit annoying. At least I have handwritten copies, therein lies to perks of handwriting.
