The other day my friend was sitting in my CHEM 123 lecture and was on her laptop. I looked around, and then whispered to her “You know there are only two people here using a laptop? You’re one of them.” She replied back with “Why is your class so keener?”<\/p>\n
I’ve been asked on more than one occasion why I don’t like using laptops during class to take notes. It’s not really that I don’t like it, I just find it really impractical for science courses. In the time that it takes me to properly format a chemical equation or math formula, I could’ve taken half a page of handwritten notes. Having to draw diagrams is another story.<\/p>\n
In short, I don’t find a laptop all that useful in my courses except to keep me entertained, but I already have my iPhone for that. I honestly don’t think that it’s necessary to own a laptop once you enter university. I have a friend that uses a desktop and when he needs to use a laptop at school, he heads to Koerner. Having said that, owning a laptop definitely makes things more convenient.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
