If you write, you don’t listen. If you listen, you don’t write. Simple as that.
I HATED “teachers” who gave us the homework of just copying book pages by hand to “learn” them. I couldn’t remember a word of what was written on them.
I specifically avoided taking any notes, as much as possible. And only wrote down formulas, or basic laws. (In a graph, like a mind map, but without the stupid limitations.)
If I didn’t understand everything, I pressed pause, and went back a minute.
Oh, did I mention, that the lectures themselves were only half of where the learning took place, and watching it on video a second time at home filled in the blanks that made the whole lecture useful and stick in the first place?
