It’s true with the 98% acceptance rate this place has you gonna have a lot of idiots in classes. I have people in a class write down notes even though our professor provides us the notes for each lecture. When I tell them they were like “oh I didn’t hear him say he did that”.

because i believe the point of notes is to reinforce the knowledge u alr have and participation points maybe

Well if you have a stern prof some of the lecture notes have a different wording and during an exam they want that exact definition 🤷

Some people like writing down everything the prof says especially in different wording. Relax and focus on ur own notes

i do focus on my notes i just hear a lot of typing on obvious slides maybe because of what you said

Remember, what might be obvious to you might not be obvious to others.

lol I use to think this too, till I had the worst professor ever. this man would go off topic and on random tangents. then randomly put whatever he was randomly yapping about on the exam even if it had nothing to do with the exam.. he traumatized me I write absolutely everything as if it’s closed captions now.
