How Do You Get Through Class?

[vin17]

Well, all students at my school are required to 'rent' a laptop from them each year.

As has been mentioned, if you're taking notes and interacting with the material being taught time goes much faster.

Also if you've read the material before class, then you might yourself understanding what the professor is saying better, thereby making the time more productive.

i practice gangster graffiti in my notebook and/or pass notes to cute girls which is very very fun and makes you feel like a kid again

i can understand small liberal arts classes not allowing laptops. its pretty standard to bring a laptop into a big science class or something showing a powerpoint but if i was in a 15 person english class where we discuss books i can imagine the prof would look at me funny.

This is a reason why my gpa was 1.0 lower, seriously you cant do well at purdue if you dont go to class. I managed to get to 4 classes total 2 semesters ago and got a 2.3, and couldnt deal with that bs anymore.

Uh, did you read the post? I AM going to class, and I'm bored as [censored]. Since you went here, you might know...I'm in OLS (the "athlete major"), so it really takes no effort to get good grades.

sudoku and reading the paper.

There really isn't anything you can do. Find a class that interests you, suck it up and pay attention, or just suffer silently like the millions of other college students do. Although I do admit 3 hour classes blow. I tried one just to see what it was like for a semester and ended up bringing screwdrivers to class and just getting hammered to get through it.

My major was really easy as well, but the point to going to college is never going to class unless you have a test, and partying 5-6 days a week.
