Recently i have had a taste for uni life by attending a few lectures and tutorials for a bridging course. I noticed a few things from my experience;
I seem to have trouble keeping up with the lecturer. I take down notes by hand (personal preference), and try to write as much as possible before losing track of what the lecturer has said. Consequently, i went home and reviewed the entire recorded lecture and made some more notes with more clarity on what i was writing and reading.
Problem with this was that the whole reviewing process and re-taking of notes ate up a lot of my time at home, and i since this lecture was only for 1 subject - im failing to see how i will be able to keep up with 5 days of lectures/tuts in an array of subjects.
Going by my process of retaking notes at home and rewatching the lectures after uni, i would say that an avg of 2 hours is taken away from home-time per subject.
I take mainly science based subjects and although i cant complain in comparison to HSIE based electives, how do uni students study and listen in class effectively - is it similar to my way; attending and taking notes during the lecture, and then coming home to take some more, or do you just not attend lectures at all to purely study at home?
Can i get some opinions from high achieving uni students on how they study and take notes?
