Comment No, India was RULED, didn't rule.... (Score 1) 23

No, they were ruled, which is different. First by various Turkic dynasties from 1000-1700, and after that, by the Brits. Before that, they rarely had an empire, b'cos there was no single Indian kingdom, but a whole host of them. On the occasions that they did go abroad and settle, such as the East Indies, those places had a reasonably good pre-islamic civilization

I took some online courses over the last 2 years, which included lessons in which the instructor gave instructions aided by a PowerPoint slide. I found that the best way of absorbing the lessons was taking screengrabs as soon as a slide was complete, filing it as a PDF (unless the images were adequate) and rewatching the entire session after collecting all the slides and this time, paying closer attention. That turned out to work best for me

I would reserve paper for actually working out problems, where the answers aren't just copied/memorized from some texts, but have to be worked out. Such as a math problem, or calculating subnet masks in IPv4
