<p>What do professors usually require/expect?</p>
<p>This might sound like a stupid question… but I’ve had some pretty picky teachers in the past, and I know this should be different, but you never know…</p>
<p>Notebooks, Binders, class-specific notes, etc; what’s expected…</p>
<p>btw, notes in laptop or notebook; what’s suggested?</p>
<p>Most of the big classes u would rarely be able to even talk to the teachers so they dont even care about how u organize or even take notes for that matter…</p>
<p>It seems like you’re in pharmacy, CraigCho. This is probably not what you want to hear, but it’s my own experience and my observations of fellow classmates. </p>
<p>With the exception of expos, most professors your first two years could give a crap about what you do in class honestly. I’ve seen people on their nintendo ds playing pokemon. A lot of people are also on their iphones half the time.</p>
<p>Bring anything to take notes. No textbooks except for expos some of the time. A laptop if you find your teacher talks really fast, but you don’t need to type everything down. This is more relevant during your second year. First year is a breeze because you’ve probably taken the equivalent AP classes and have credits that weren’t accepted. A lot of people don’t even end up going to class. It’s rehashing what you already know. I suggest trying not to skip too much, but it’s not going to hurt you if you do.</p>
<p>I graduated from the pharmacy program years ago. My roommate and I would write down everything the professors said in spiral notebooks and then go home and study it at least 3x, highlighting each time. That got us mostly A’s. I don’t think you’ll do well in pharmacy if you don’t go to class.</p>
<p>You’ll probably need binders for some classes if they give out a lot of handouts.</p>
