<p>I usually take my laptop to boring classes/classes in which the professor talks really fast. Ex: GEs.</p>
<p>Some classes you’ll have to handwrite notes for. Ex: chemistry.</p>
<p>Yeah, I can see where handwritten would be the way to go in particular for math/science. This semester, I’m registered for writing140 w/ religion& ethical issues, intro to psychology, and spanish 2, plus a freshman seminar about los angeles architecture</p>
<p>A suggestion: Don’t take your laptop to discussions and WRIT-140.</p>
<p>It’s just a guess, but I also would not bring a laptop to Spanish 2 or the freshman seminar. I took Spanish 3 last semester, and did not find a laptop practical at all. The course moves slow enough for handwritten notes, and it’s a pain to type accents on a laptop (although I think I’m decent at it by now).</p>
