<p>I don’t even use my textbook for half my classes much less bring it!!</p>
<p>I had one class last year where we were supposed to bring our books, and in one of my classes this semester, we have to bring one of our books on occasion, but that’s it.</p>
<p>Generally for class I have:</p>
<ul>
<li>My folder with all my class notes</li>
<li>Pens</li>
<li>Highlighters</li>
<li>Notes (printed out and provided by our instructors) or a notebook</li>
</ul>
<p>…nothing else…so it all fits neatly in my [large] purse.</p>
<p>Only for a couple classes have I brought my laptop on a regular basis, and for one the reason was that my professor spoke super fast, and I write super slow so if I didn’t type out my notes I would miss more than half of what she said, and for the other it was because my professor was really bad at teaching in a linear manner, and adding notes to the appropriate spot is so much easier when you can just click and be there (plus, the class was extraordinarily boring, so I would bounce between notes, studying for anatomy and Facebook).</p>
