However, the problem of doing either voice only or video recording, is you have to listen to the whole thing once again.
You are right... I won't have time to re-listen to 20 lectures every week. And I don't even actually have the proper camera equipment to fully record a lecture. I thought I could record using my computer but a lot of a lecture is on the blackboard. At least, I learn better by seeing it written down.
I guess people would've had to learn way back when there weren't digital recorders (or even computers). Radman, I will just have to adapt my note taking style for everyone. I just hope I can do it fast. That 3 blackboard story was not very inspiring lol.
Now, I have a question:
I have six courses.
Should I get 6, 2 inch binders? 6 notebooks? 6 Duotangs?
I just listed duotangs for completeness, I find them annoying, small, wear easily and generally useless.
Now: I read that the class will be full so you won't have a lot of room. Moreover, since classes are back-to-back, you cannot go back home to pick up other supplies. And your backpack can only have so many 2 inch binders.
In this capacity, notebooks are good.
But I dislike notebooks. I like to keep chapter notes with the night's homework directly behind it. So I write my notes, and then I can do the homework and put it behind. But with a notebook, I cannot just guess how many pages I think I will need. And what if I need to later on read the textbook and make additions to my notes. I like being able to re-organize order.
But the above arguments FOR notebooks are are all very valid.
Am I just being picky? Maybe I can keep a notes notebook and work notebook.
My personal preferences aside, what did you use/find best? Notebooks or binders? What size?
Also, I never needed a notebook/binder for computer science in high school, I'm not sure if I will in University. And I don't know if I need it for something like Praxis either. I will actually list my courses:
STRUCT. & MATERIALS
INT.TO COMP.PROGRAM.
PRAXIS I
ENG. MATHEMATICS & COMPUTATION
CALCULUS 1
CLASSICAL MECHANICS
And here is the list of obvious supplies. If it is lacking, please point it out
lined paper (I guess I wouldn't need it if I use notebooks)
blank paper
pencils/lead
black, blue and red pen
eraser
ruler
scientific calculator
usb
laptop
backpack
agenda
[EDIT]
More negatives about notebooks:
- I cannot insert printed notes.
- Cannot insert notes I write on lined paper/extra notes
- Flimsy
- Cannot insert lecture notes professor gives
