    I exclusively wrote everything down with a pen, since I was not going to bring a laptop everywhere and somehow get it to stay powered for so many hours. Not to mention that it would have been terrible to draw schematics etc.

    The best were those courses where you could prepare a “cheat sheet”, so then I go over everything and put key information and formulas into a word document. So I go over my notes, then have to filter them and then write the key things again. Maximum retention, as I can tell you 10 years later.

      and somehow get it to stay powered for so many hours.

      You can plug it into an outlet to power it.

        In most of the classrooms I’ve been to, there’s like one outlet for every 10 people. That’s not a reliable option, especially if you pack classes back to back like I did.

        Ah thank you, why did I not think of that easy solution? I always power it via my hamster at home.
