college! study habits!


Question Posted Monday January 21 2008, 5:26 pm

im so scared.

if lecture halls get to be big how can you hear the professor speak? also do you think they will talk fast? bc what they say will be important, right? and i cant write fast enough (abbreviations cant be used for everything or like omitting certain words like "the") still. can i bring recorders? im a senior in hs. and i dont think we can bring recorders in class.. but is college different?

You can bring a recorder! And usually the rooms are really big, so it projects the professors voice even more. They usually dont talk fast. I would record the lecture, and just take a few notes.

good luck:]

You do hear the professor speak if it is a big lecture hall. It's not like high school, people tend to take college more seriously (you are paying for it). And if you can't hear, people will let the professor know.

If you aren't allowed to bring a recorder (which I doubt will be a problem), you can always bring your lap top to take notes. You will get more of what the professor is saying.

Honestly, don't be scared. As long as you do pay attention and read you should be fine. Colleges usually have places where you could go so that you could get help too.


Good luck and relax!

Yes, you are allowed to bring recording devices into class with you, actually it is encouraged. This way, you have a way to review everything that was said during class. It would even come in handy to transfer the files to an MP3 player and listen to it while you are doing other tasks. This way, you can learn it and remember it. I would ask your dean at high school if it would be okay to take a tape recorder into the class for study notes. It wouldn't hurt to ask, and if you get permission instead of just going in and doing it without permission, you won't get into trouble. Good Luck!!
