nerdy nerd?

i realise it is a little off topic, but that kind of summarises this thread...

my question....does anyone actually take a laptop into lectures to take notes/play solitaire or is that a bid of a nerdy-nerd thing to do??

nerdy.

nerd.

wouldn't the typing annoy ppl, and what if your batt runs low?...i think ppl bring them research and stuff like to use when the library computers are taken.

i bet the designers were right-handed males.

There are some left-handed seats in certain rooms (Mathews lecture hall has them)

Yeah, I have only seen two people using them and one guy dropped his.

How annoying are the lecture tables though, they keep falling down and there are no left handed ones. Another thing, I wish the lectures would leave their overhead pages up for a little longer.

im coping all right so far with the powerpoint slides...are yours using them, or true overheads as such? try going onto blackboard, you should be able to download them.
the lecture tables...dont get me started!! some are alright, the ones that go right across and sit on a metal bar on the other side (eg the ones in STH), but the little ones that only go like 1/2-3/4 of the way (eg CT's) really piss me off!

Yeah, sorry I meant PowerPoint slides. The only problem is that one of my teachers doesn't believe in putting her lecture notes up on Blackboard. It is OK though because most of the lecture notes are in the text books anyway. Actually, I am thinking about just going to the lectures and listening to what the lecturer has to say and then go home and read the text book, because you don't get to listen to what the lecturer has to say if you are constantly writing anyway.

Yeah, I only have one lecture in those first kind of seats which is good because they make you feel more confined and are really old. CT ones were the one I was talking about. They should have made them so they clip into something.
