What should I do during class?
Do you feel like you’re getting the most out of your in-class experience?
You can’t write down everything the professor says. It’s not physiologically possible.
How you process and receive information impacts what will work best for you in class.
- Do you miss a lot of the “verbal” parts of a class (written or spoken)?
- Do you zone out in large lecture classes
- Do you have to write everything down to stay engaged?
When you only focus on taking notes, you spend a lot more time after class “teaching” yourself the material. This is not the most efficient use of your time, and it’s frustrating and stressful!
Use in-class time to think and process. Effective engagement and note-taking strategies will help you get the most out of it.
