Not everyone can afford a laptop and school at the same time. :erg:

okay I know I'm being a prick. I have a cheap as hell laptop though. I literally paid $430 for it new in 05 and still use it, albeit I'm not a gamer.

You were lucky. Mine was $1300 four years ago, but I am a gamer.

He's not lucky he's cheap.

Enchantermon - Aren't your prerequisites for Bachelor degrees different though, don't you guys have to go through College first? I left school at 16 and went straight into my degree program.

This is only true if online materials such as powerpoints and PDFs aren't used in opposition to classroom lecturing. Listening to a knowledgeable person talk to and around the notes is where half the learning comes - admittedly this makes it doubly difficult to get while also furiously writing everything down like we had to.

Very true Scots. It's just that (apart from humanities such as history) nearly every class was posted online as a ppt lecture.

I destroyed all my uni notes save for those that had some artistic merit in the side-margins from my Math/Stat degree.
:cool:
I had a similar thing, except many of my Physics notes were pictographic conversations between me and a good friend that I took all my classes with. It was great having detailed conversations, with animations, with equations, all without speaking.

I can see why the academic establishments resisted it for so long though, being in a position as an employer of undergrads/grads in my current job - I hear "oh I can just download the notes" or "I don't attend the lectures" so often that I wonder how simplified the degree process has become and how much the average student actually learns.
edit: frozen, I used to draw my uni lecturers (as well as imitate their accents), which became sort of infamous in small circles towards the end of my uni career. :p
