    Same. I mostly used it for homework between classes.

    I found the most effective strategy for me was to do the reading before class, bring the book in to refer to, listen intently for things I didn’t get from the book, and reread the section after class. If the professor specifically called out something to take notes on, I’d either do that on my phone or pull out my laptop (esp just before midterms or finals).

    My handwriting is awful and I almost never refer to my notes anyway.
