Lectures and Notes....

Don't give me a lecture mom! Yes, we can say this to our mom but we can't say this to our professors. You sit in the class listening to the teacher. It goes on well for a few days but you don't revise what is taught and then the other lectures of the same topic go above your head. You try to listen properly, stare at the presentation, look at the black board but it all goes above your head like a Sukhoi. Now the new topic begins and the same thing repeats. Dude/Gal no one can help you. No one helped me too.

There are some intelligent/diligent students in class who make proper notes from the lectures. They know what is important and what should be noted down. They make point-wise notes which helps them revise in exam.

There are some super-human personalities also present in the classroom who note down each and every word of the teacher. Even if the teacher coughs or burps they will try to note it down. These kind of people get paper and ink free of cost ( i guess) and end up writing more then what is given even in their textbooks. When the exam comes they easily manage to finish one chapter out of ten chapters of the syllabus and confidently go to the examination to show that they will be camping in the same class.

Practically speaking we can't pay attention on lectures everytime (if you are not intellligent/dilligent one of your class) and can't write up everything (if you are not a superhuman moron).

Just imagine a mid-topic lecture in the after-noon just after the lunch. Your whole body weight has concentrated on your eyelids. You can only hear the sweet sound of the moving fan. The voice of the lecturer sounds like a lullaby. You can't make notes like this. So for you people some easy tips:

1. Don't make notes : Its a waste of time. You can listen to the teacher properly in the time you try to write. For notes you can:

A) Make the girl who writes the best notes in your class, your friend.
B) Ask old notes from seniors. Carefully choose the senior you are lending notes from, he shouldn't be a jerk like you.

You can try and write the most emphasized points while listening the lectures, that's not at all bad.

2. Read directly from book : Some people don't like their own hand writing so if you are one of those and even if you are not one of those, try and read directly from the book because in the end they can ask anything for exams.

If you are a super-jerk then i need not explain these tricks to you. I know you have devised your own tricks. Dude/(no gal this time) your attendance is gonna screw you. Attend the lectures for God's sake.
