I won't be adopting the Cornell method. I like to use my laptop in class, but of course that can't always be done. For classes that require drawings and/or formulas, or simply move too quickly, I'll write on regular paper and transfer the notes to my computer slowly if needed. Whatever paper notes I do have are…

@Anne Boleyn: My college has been using Google Apps since before I got there, and as of this academic year we're dropping Blackboard for something called Moodle. It organizes by class week chronologically and the like. To be honest, I don't find it all that much better but check it out.

Haha, people still use that crap? My university has been using Google Apps since before I got there. To be honest, it's not like I see that interface anyway since it all gets forwarded to my personal Google Apps account for my domain.

Haha, I love that he did that all for his own amusement.

Wouldn't it be awesome to simply walk by a store in Manhattan with the HTC logo and then exclaim, wait what? I've never owned a HTC phone (all Apple) but I'd go there.

@Jacknut: Ouch, that's not the most usual RA scenario.

@Apostropartheid: I had the same dilemma. I ended up with the 15" because I just couldn't give up that extra screen real estate. There were times where I wished my laptop was smaller, but they're not prolonged moments. Two inches doesn't make so much of a difference in your hands but can be really useful on screen.…

Hmm, Adam, you carry all that around with you on a day-to-day basis? Some of things I can understand for a Lifehacker blogger but since the slant seems to be towards academia, I like to take a lighter load:

@ManicSquirrel: Statistical Mania: Definitely not 747

@allinthefamily: Whose talking about hate, hater?

@alienshards: Not at all. Today, they seem like the opposite with huge presence in portable markets. Mac devices aren't exactly the rarest any more (they're at least increasing).

Wow, I feel really, really safe after reading this. I don't do almost any of these things. And even if I did, I would be able to get through it. But then again, this is on Gizmodo, so most of us are going to meet the standards (as much as we want to).

@TechHaze: That's the only thing I picked up from this.

@hopskipper: Nice.

@jupigare: It's not so much what they wear as how they wear it - proper fits for example. Two students can both be wearing tees but an ill-fitting baggy one and a slim-cut one can do a lot of difference.

I strongly recommend simply using BigWords.com and/or their iPhone app. Lifesaver's I tell you. I take the ISBN listed online at the bookstore (the right publisher and edition are important if you want to keep right with page numbers and not get confused if following along in class) and enter them into BigWords and…

Would they have the cables needed to hook up my MacBook Pro to an older Sony RBG television?

I didn't even think of this, but reading into the comments: a white board.

I like writing on paper. There's so much more flexibility and ease that no office suite or program can give. A great, great deal of my stuff is purely digital but there are papers I will not ditch.

Personally, as a student, I wouldn't ditch Microsoft Office altogether.
