typing or writing Options

I find it easier to type everything that's on lecture and record everything that the professor's talking about. I think that when I try to do both simultaneously, trying to listen to the professor and keep track of what's going on during the lecture I don't do as well.

i have a teacher who made copies of the entire semesters worth of notes, had them printed, and sold at the bookstore for people to buy. (for 12 bucks or so) they are about 80% complete, so you have to come to class to get the other 20%. i think that is a really effective way of doing it, because it allows people to listen more than take notes, but 20% being missing still keeps most people coming to class since lots of the missing info ends up being on the tests.


i got hearing problems and struggled for a long time trying to take notes in class. i finally got a note taker assigned to me and she takes all the notes and it allows me to sit and listen to the lecture with way less stress. my grades have improved quite a bit because of not having to simultaneously do as much.


i don't know how anyone can keep up with the lecture and take notes simultaneously.
