Small questions on how do you guys study in the classes

I have a few quick questions about studying in college. I’m preparing for my upcoming classes and would love your insights! How frequently do you use laptops during lectures? Is it common for everyone to bring their laptops to class regularly? Also, I know this might sound strange, but do some students still take notes in notebooks? Additionally, has anyone found any AI tools helpful for note-taking? Lastly, what is the overall studying environment like? Thank you!

  1. It’s great that you’re preparing for college! Here are some insights based on common practices:

    1. Use of Laptops: Many students use laptops in class for taking notes, accessing course materials, and participating in online discussions. However, some also prefer to write notes by hand because it can help with retention. It’s not a requirement for everyone to use a laptop all the time; it really depends on your learning style.

    2. Bringing a Laptop: While many students find it convenient to bring a laptop to every class, it might not be necessary for every session. Some classes might focus more on discussions or hands-on activities where a laptop isn’t as helpful.

    3. Note-Taking with Notebooks: Yes, many students still take notes in notebooks! Writing by hand can enhance focus and memory retention. It’s a personal preference, and some students use a combination of both techniques.

    4. AI Tools for Note-Taking: There are several AI tools and apps that can assist with note-taking. For example, apps like Notion, Evernote, or OneNote have features that help organize notes effectively. Additionally, some students use AI tools like Otter.ai for transcribing lectures, which can be very helpful.

    5. Studying Environment: The studying environment can vary widely. Some students thrive in quiet libraries, while others prefer group study sessions at cafes or in study lounges. Finding a conducive environment that minimizes distractions and supports your learning style is key.

    Overall, experiment with different methods to see what works best for you, and don’t hesitate to reach out to fellow students for tips! Good luck with your college preparations!
